Splash Pads
Extremely popular with young children, splash pad applications feature lower circulating water volumes, typically high bather loads and spray features that create atomized water. Atomized water is created when fine spray/mist from water features combines with the air in the surrounding environment.
While this feature can be fun for patrons of all ages, a contaminated water source that is atomized and then inhaled can cause severe illnesses such as Legionnaires Disease and Pneumonia. Approximately 18,000 people are reported to contract Legionnaires disease and Pneumonia this way each year in the United States. Based on published reports, the cases prove to be fatal in up to 30% of those who contract the disease. These factors have made UV protection a ‘must have' for any water play application.
The benefits of UV technology include:
- UV is effective against all micro-organisms
- Vastly improved water quality and a more pleasant bathing environment
- Cyrstal clear water,and fresh clean air
- Treats full recirculating flow
- No byproducts created by the UV system
- Reduces the the need for "Shock Treatment" to reduce combined chlorine levels when using UV
- Fully automatic and cannot be over dosed
- UV is a non hazardous, green technology
The benefits of an ETS UV system include:
- Simple and easy to maintain
- Validated system performance
- ETS UV systems require little maintenance (twice per year)
- ETS UV systems are fully monitored to ensure the correct dose of UV
- ETS's leading SPECTRA control panel easily interface with existing management systems
- ETS has a vast range of products to suit different sizes and specifications
- ETS UV systems are ultra compact in design and require minimal space
- ETS UV systems are fully approved by UL/MET, ANSI/NSF50 and validated to the USEPA Disinfection Guidnace Manual ( NOV 2006)
