Blue Lagoon Ozone UV-C
Please read carefully through these instructions for use before installing this device.
The Blue Lagoon Ozone UV-C is a revolutionary combination of ozone (atom O3) and UV-C (ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 253.7
nanometres), which reduces the use of chlorine in your swimming pool to a minimum! The installation of this Blue Lagoon Ozone UV-C unit as part
of your swimming pool system will keep your swimming pool water fresh, crystal clear and, above all, hygienically clean.
How does ozone work? Ozone has been used for decades in the disinfection of drinking water and in air purification. The substance has a very
strong oxidation and sterilisation effect on all organic substances and also removes unpleasant odours. For this reason, it is one of the most
effective sterilisation agents to be used in water treatment. UV-C radiation and ozone are the perfect combination to keep your swimming pool
water crystal clear, clean and rich in oxygen. The ozone atom, O3, oxidises micro-organisms, such as moulds, (Legionella) bacteria, parasites, algae
and viruses. Ozone not only destroys micro-organisms but also breaks down urine, transpiration, cosmetics and suntan lotion particles.
After the ozone has completed its function, it disappears from the water without leaving any by-products.
Operation
The "Blue Lagoon Ozone UV-C" must be connected to your swimming pool system. Using a pump, the water is pumped into the unit through the
supplied reactor. Through the water pressure in the reactor, air is sucked in via the Venturi system. The pressure in the reactor can be read on the
manometer, and can be adjusted using the ball valve. The ideal pressure is between 0.4 and 0.7 bar. Air is sucked into the unit via the air valve and
flows through the area between the quartz glass and the ozone UV-C lamp. Because air enters the unit via the lamp, it becomes loaded with ozone
particles that were generated in the special ozone UV-C lamp, which produces 0.6 grams of ozone. After it has passed the ball valve, the ozone-
enriched air is then mixed with water in the reactor. The oxidation and sterilisation take place here, and a powerful disinfection process is
achieved. The water-ozone mixture is then exposed to the 25 watt UV-C output generated by the lamp in the stainless steel housing. The lamp has
a double function, producing ozone and UV-C light at the same time. The ozone particles in the water are completely broken down again by the
UV-C device immediately after they have completed their function. This takes place because the ozone is mixed with water as it passes through
the lamp for the second time. The 316L stainless steel housing provides an additional UV-C light reflection of up to 35%. The device produces
ozone that is 100% safe; and the water that flows out no longer contains any ozone. What remains is fully disinfected, crystal clear swimming pool
water that is free from bacteria. A minimal quantity of chlorine is recommended in your swimming pool water, as this will act as a buffer in the
swimming pool. It will be necessary to collect the pool water for the period that the pump requires to process the full content of the pool. In this
way, new micro-organisms will have no chance to develop.
Advantages of the UV-C & Ozone treatment:
- Ensures fresh, clean and crystal clear water
- Less maintenance and more carefree use of your swimming pool
- Suntan lotion, cosmetics, urine and transpiration are broken down by ozone
- Bound chlorine is broken down by UV-C light
- Disinfects water efficiently and safely
- Protects your pool from germs
- Keeps the formation of mould, bacteria and algae under control
- Can reduce the use of chlorine by up to 90% immediately after the installation
- Disinfection is user-friendly and safe
- More environmentally-friendly than traditional methods
- Cost-saving

Safety
This device produces harmful radiation. Direct contact could impair the eyes and skin. Only check the operation of the UV-C lamp
through the transparent components of the unit.
- The UV lamp generates ozone that emits a strong odour, even in very small quantities. Relatively high concentrations of ozone can be harmful
for eyes, nose and skin. For this reason, always check the system thoroughly for leakage. Proper installation and the correct position of the
sealing rings are of crucial importance.
