Bio-UV 20 Professional UVC Unit

Description

Bio-UV 20 Professional UVC Unit

The Bio UV Professional is probably the worlds best UV system made from 316L Stainless Steel. The 150 mm diameter of the housing assures a minimum exposure of 2 seconds to UV radiation at the recommended flow rates (see table). Due to the use of special “High Intensity” UV lamps with an output of 30.000 micro Watt (25.000 after 13000 hours) and the minimum exposure of 2 sec, they kill microscopic algae as well as 99.9% of harmful bacteria and viruses, including Aeromanas, Pseudomonas and Legionella! The type of BIO-UV lamp should be based on an effective flow rate per hour, provided by the pump, rather than on the volume of the pond. BIO-UV lamps are used instead of chlorine for disinfection of swimming pools. Maximum continuous pressure: 3 bar, maximum water temperature 40ºC. 13000 Hours of effective use (performance is measured after 13000 hours of use).

How the Bio-UV 20 professional UVC unit works

It has been long known that ultraviolet lamps at a wavelength of 254 nanometers, or 2537 Angstrom, have high bactericidal, virucidal and algicidal properties. Type C ultraviolet eradicates germs by aggressively disrupting the cell metabolisms leading to their destruction. These lamps should not be mistaken for ozone producing lamps, which operate at different wavelengths. Ultraviolet radiation is measured in micro watts/second/cm2.

The key elements for efficient disinfecting are based, on one hand on the exposure time (i.e the ratio between the size of the pond and the flow rate through the filter) , and on the other hand, on the energy emitted in micro watts/second/cm2 at the furthest point from the lamp. Performance is measured in milijoules (mj) by combining the energy emitted by the lamp and the exposure time. The Bio UV range UV-C lamps work at levels above the minimum required to destroy the principle micro-organisms, which may be found in Koi ponds. In addition thanks to the reflection produced by the stainless steel (316L) within the chamber, efficiency is increased by 20 to 30 %. Micro-organisms must, in theory be exposed for a minimum of 1 second. However, BIO-UV equipment specifications, depending on the flow rates, double the exposure time to 2 seconds, for optimal disinfecting. In order not to hinder the action of the UV-C it is important to have a high filtration quality so that large particles do not screen the radiation.

Warranties

The Bio UV Professional offers a five-year warranty on the stainless steel chamber and a full year one-year warranty on all other components (including UV lamp).  If installed according to manual.

Finally

The The Bio UV Professional system gives you the comfort of knowing that your water quality is superior to that of any other type of system, ease of installation, virtually no maintenance and optimum reliability.
