Pentair’s ‘BioShield’ UV system for commercial pools

BioShield ® UV commercial systems, from Pentair Ltd., of Sanford, N. C., improve water and air quality while reducing chlorine usage by up to 50 percent. Lowered operational costs make this an affordable solution for aquatic facilities, hotels, motels, and apartment/condo (HMAC) pools.

NSF-approved BioShield UV systems neutralize bacteria and waterborne pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia, providing instant protection against recreational water illnesses for a cleaner, safer pool environment.

Low-pressure UV lamps, offering up to 12,000 hours of continuous operation, reduce chemical usage and the chloramines that can cause bronchitis or asthma.
