The Best SPA Water Treatment Solution: A Scientifical Design SPA Sterilization System
As we all know, hydrotherapy is a relaxing activity that benefits our body. However it is surprising to be able to maintain the health and safety of hydrotherapy is the spa that does not need to change the water frequently. So do you know why the water in these spas doesn’t need to be changed often? And what design features make it possible for a spa to run clean and hygienic for long periods? You may have heard of chemical water treatment, but today we’re going to explore a healthier and safer water purification system hidden in spas—the spa sterilization system.
Why don't spas need frequent water changes?
1. Water Conservation
Spas have large water capacities, which means they need a lot of water to fill it up. The processes of filling and draining the water require considerable time and energy. This is especially true for commercial spas or wellness centers where the spa is used frequently. Frequently changing the water can lead to significant water wastage and increased operating costs.
2. Temperature Control
Spa water is kept at a high temperature and needs to remain relatively constant. Frequent water changes mean constantly wasting heated water and reheating it, which leads to excessive energy consumption and makes it difficult to maintain a stable temperature in the spa for long periods.
3. Self-Cleaning Circulation
Spas are typically equipped with filtration and sterilization systems, and many other system components also feature filtration designs. Therefore, when the spa is in operation, the water can be purified through repeated circulation, preventing it from becoming too dirty.
However, not frequently changing the water doesn't mean no cleaning or maintenance. The spa sterilization system also needs regular upkeep, such as checking whether all system components are functioning properly, cleaning scale build-up, and unclogging to extend the lifespan of the spa sterilization system.
What You Need to Know About Spa Sterilization Systems?
What is a Spa Sterilization System?
The spa sterilization system is powered and controlled by an electrical control system. It works in conjunction with components including an ozone generator, venturi, ozone check valve, and UV lamps to eliminate bacteria, microorganisms, and odors in the water, ensuring that the spa water remains safe and clean for an extended period. Additionally, the spa sterilization system is typically connected to the circulation system pipes.
What components make up a spa sterilization system?
（1）Ozone Generator
Features: The spa ozone generator has a higher output and is typically connected to the spa circulation system via PVC hoses and PCS check valves.
Function: The spa ozone generator draws in oxygen and converts it into ozone through discharge. Ozone, as a strong oxidizing agent, can break down organic matter, bacteria, and viruses in the water, achieving sterilization and disinfection.
Installation: The spa ozone generator is typically installed in a dry area, positioned above the water level of the spa tub. The power cable is usually connected to the 12V power source of the controller.
（2）Ozone Check Valve
Features: The ozone check valve is made from materials that are resistant to high concentrations of ozone, such as silicone, PTFE, or PVDF.
Function: The ozone check valve prevents water from flowing back into the ozone generator, protecting the equipment.
Installation: The ozone check valve is installed in the middle of the pipeline.
（3）Venturi
Function: The venturi uses the pressure difference of the water flow to efficiently inject ozone gas into the water, ensuring thorough mixing of ozone with water and allowing the ozone to break down contaminants in the flow.
Installation: The venturi is typically installed at the water inlet and outlet, particularly where it connects to the ozone generator or air pump, ensuring smooth water flow through the pipeline and effective mixing of ozone with water.
（4）UV Lamp
Function: As water flows through the UV lamp, the UV lamp emits UV light that directly irradiates microorganisms in the water, damaging their DNA and preventing the reproduction of bacteria and viruses.
Installation: The UV lamp is typically connected to the pipeline for installation.
What is the working principle of the spa sterilization system?
The electrical control system controls the ozone generator to produce ozone, which is transmitted through dedicated ozone pipelines and enters the main water pipe of the spa circulation system via the check valve, sterilizing and disinfecting the pipes and water. The UV lamp provides secondary disinfection to the water flowing through the pipes, ensuring thorough elimination of bacteria.
Why is The Spa Sterilization System Better Than Relying Entirely on Chemical Disinfectants?
Safety:
Traditional chemical disinfectants leave residues in the water, and these chemicals may irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. In contrast, the spa sterilization system uses physical disinfection methods such as ozone and UV light, which do not leave any chemical residues or side effects in the water, maintaining its purity. This helps reduce discomfort in the respiratory system, skin irritation, and even allergies during the spa experience.
Eco-friendly:
Traditional chemical disinfectants may cause varying degrees of pollution to soil, air, and water during production, transportation, and use. In contrast, the spa sterilization system utilizes ozone and ultraviolet technology without relying on chemicals, and it does not produce harmful by-products that can contribute to environmental pollution.
Simplicity:
When using traditional chemical disinfectants, the dosage needs to be frequently and precisely adjusted based on factors such as water volume and pH levels. In contrast, the spa sterilization system can provide continuous and stable disinfection with just a one-click control through the electrical control system.
Protected:
Long-term use of traditional chemical disinfectants inevitably causes corrosion and damage to spa equipment and hoses. In contrast, the physical disinfection provided by the spa sterilization system is gentler and harmless compared to chemical disinfection, helping to extend the lifespan of spa equipment and hoses.
Cost-Effective:
In the long run, traditional chemical disinfectants are consumables, and the purchasing costs continue to accumulate. In contrast, the spa sterilization system only requires initial installation and regular maintenance, which is much less expensive than ongoing consumption over time.
Conclusion
The spa sterilization system is a key system to ensure that spa hydrotherapy is a healthy activity. It is also healthier and more environmentally friendly than traditional chemical disinfectants, truly safeguarding health and evolving to provide people with greater opportunities for wellness.
