Pentair BioShield UV system 522636 – 80 W

Improve the quality of your pool water with the Pentair BioShield 522636 UV system, equipped with an 80 W UV lamp and designed to work alongside the pool’s main treatment system.

By exposing the water to UV light, the BioShield helps in particular to reduce chloramines, compounds associated with chlorine odors and discomfort that may be experienced around some pools. Pentair indicates a reduction in combined chlorine of 25% or 0.25 mg/L, whichever is higher, under the applicable test conditions.

A supplement to your pool treatment

The BioShield system integrates into the water circulation system to supplement the existing treatment.

The Pentair manual indicates a typical installation after the filter and before the main sanitizer and the return to the pool. The BioShield is certified as a water conditioning device and should not be considered a replacement for the main disinfection system.

Helps improve swimming comfort

By helping to reduce chloramines, the BioShield may contribute to a more pleasant swimming experience, particularly by reducing compounds associated with chemical odors, red eyes, and skin discomfort.

Installation in the circulation system

Pentair recommends installing the UV unit after the mechanical filter, so that the water passing through the system contains as little debris as possible that could reduce UV transmission. If the installation’s flow rate exceeds the unit’s rated capacity, a bypass circuit is required.

A supplemental UV solution for your pool

The Pentair BioShield 522636 80 W is an interesting option for adding UV treatment to your existing installation and helping control chloramines without replacing the pool’s main sanitizer.
