Football clubs use UV
10 December 2013
Some of England’s most famous football clubs are using Hanovia’s UV disinfection technology to purify their hydrotherapy pools.
Water of exceptionally high quality is required as the clubs cannot afford for their players to fall ill as a result of water-borne pathogens like Cryptosporidium or Giardia.
Hanovia’s James Hadley says: "Bacteria like Cryptosporidium are highly resistant to chlorine and can’t be eliminated by using the chemical on its own – an additional step is required to ensure their complete removal. UV is now one of the most popular methods of destroying them. In addition, chloramines – the unpleasant by-products of chlorination – can be effectively removed with UV."
He added: "UV is much cheaper and safer than the other non-chlorine treatment method, ozonation."
