Total chlorine production releases 14 tons of mercury each year.
Pool UV could save our planet from over one million tons each year.
At the heart of SpectraLight is a very powerful, environmentally safe ultraviolet (UV) light. It's the only sanitizer that adds nothing to your water and doesn't produce any byproducts. SpectraLight allows private pool owners to reduce reduce chlorine levels up to 90%, while public pool operators may reduce chlorine levels up to 70%.
Chlorine is dangerous to the environment.
The use of chlorine has significant environmental tradeoffs. Around the turn of the century, pool owners considered chlorine a miracle chemical. And for the most part, chlorine killed the germs, bacteria and algae that turns a pool green. What they didn’t know was chlorine had some very serious side effects, sometimes much worse than the bacteria and algae it was intended to eliminate.
The chemical treatment of swimming pools consumes large amounts of chlorine. Excess chlorine can enter waterways where it mixes with organic compounds. These organic compounds then react with chlorine to form chloro-organic compounds, such as chloroform and other known carcinogens.
Chlorine is dangerous to people and all living organisms.
Laboratory studies show that repeat exposure to chlorine can affect the immune system, the blood, the heart, and the respiratory system of animals. Chlorine can cause environmental harm at low levels. Chlorine is especially harmful to organisms living in water and in soil. Recent studies indicate
that swimming in chlorinated water increases the risk of bladder cancer by an alarming 57%.
Why doesn't everyone use UV on their pool or spa?
If researchers are telling us that chlorine has some very serious health and environmental consequences, then why hasn’t the industry adopted alternative sanitizing technology on an industry wide basis?
Many local pool companies rely on repeat sales of chemicals for nearly half of their revenue. These companies are not likely to embrace new technologies which will inevitably decrease their profits. SpectraLight is commited to delivering products that decrease the use of harmful chemicals and protect people, animals, and our natural environment. Please help us spread the word.
"The Olympic Games in Sydney installed ultraviolet sterilizers to reduce chlorine and improve water quality."
The chlorine levels found in pools are over 10 times what is deemed safe for the environment.
