This non-chemical approach is being embraced by anyone who wants a healthier, more natural way to sanitize their water. An approach that has been used to decontaminate drinking water is now being applied to our swimming water!Reduce the Chemicals in Your Hot TubAccording to the experts at Spectra Light Ultraviolet, “[The] UV system emits a high intensity germicidal light ray that alters or disrupts the DNA or RNA of targeted organisms such as algae, bacteria and protozoa. The concentrated electromagnetic energy also destroys organic matter found in hot tubs and spas, eliminating the formation of dangerous chlorine by-products. The by-products have been linked to asthma, allergies and even cancer.”Approved by Experts Across the Board UV WorksEven the United States Environmental Protection Agency is on board. “UV has been found to be an effective disinfectant…simplicity of installation and ease of operation and maintenance, and low-cost relative to chemical disinfection make UV a useful technology.”Did You Know Salt Systems Work By Producing Chlorine?Chlorine and salt systems have long been the only option for cleaning your spa or hot tub.
