in childhood. Researchers now recommend that parents seek out swimming pools that have low chlorine levels.

how can we make pools safe? By harnessing the raw power of ultraviolet light. UV technology dramatically lowers the need for chlorine and eliminates chlorine by-products for a cleaner, safer, and easier to manage swimming pool or spa. UV has been installed on thousands of pools and has become the “gold standard” at major aquatic centers. UV was displayed to the world when it was selected to protect swim-mers at the games in Beijing. Now UV can help you protect what’s important.

the evidence An abundance of credible evidence indicates that pool chlorine levels should be lowered. A ground-breaking study presented at the American College of Sports

research: impact of poolchemicals is five times greater

than that of second-hand smoke

a fierce debate Swimming pool chlorine is at the center of a fierce, high-stakes debate. Pool chemical marketing efforts are dedicated to convincing us that we need high chlorine levels. And it’s working. Billions of dollars of chlorine are sold each year. But there‘s a problem. Independent studies indicate that chlorine levels are too high, leading to burning eyes, skin irrita-tions, difficulty breathing, allergies, asthma and even higher rates of cancer. Top scientists are telling us the impact to our children is five times greater than exposure to second-hand smoke.

SpectraLight harnesses ultraviolet light to lower chlorine levels, eliminate chlorine by-products, and to make pools safe, healthy and easier to manage.

Lower free chlorine concentrations may be health protective when UV is used, according to the World Health Organization.

Medicine found that exposure to traditional chlorine levels constricted airways in the lungs leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. But when chlorine levels were lowered to 0.5 ppm, the problems disappeared.

Other studies found that pulmo-nary function decreases when subjects are exposed to 1.0 ppm chlorine, but no adverse effects were found at 0.5 ppm chlorine.

Researchers in Belgium found that chlorine by-products can irritate infants’ developing airways, causing changes that make them more suscep-tible to lung disease later

is UV proven? Ultraviolet light is widely used by municipal drinking water treatment plants and bottlers

revolutionary results In most pools, chlorine is expected to do all the work. But with SpectraLight on the job, UV destroys over 99% of the organic matter and patho-gens found in pools. Spectra-Light does the heavy lifting so chemicals can be reduced by 80 - 90%. As a result, chlorine levels can be lowered to those found in tap water - to just 0.5 ppm. That’s only one chlorine drop for every 26 gallons of water. When it comes to swimming pool chlorine, less is more.

what is the science behind SpectraLight? SpectraLight was built on a visionary model for the pool and spa industry -- a model inspired by municipal drinking water treat-ment. As the water flows through the sterilization chamber, Spectra-Light emits a high intensity UV-C

The impact of these chemicals on the respiratory health of children and adolescents appears to be much more important - at least by a factor of five - than that associated with second-hand smoke.

There is little doubt that pool chlorine is an impor-tant factor implicated in the epidemic of allergic diseases affecting the westernized world.

a powerful dose of UV eliminates dangerous chlorine by-products

dangerous waters

The process of treating water with chlorine generates a class of compounds called disinfection by-products. Pools contain organic matter - leaves, debris, sunscreen, sweat, oils, saliva and urine are just a few. Chlorine reacts with organic matter and generates hundreds of different by-products. Since pool water is recycled over and over, the amount of chlorine by-products can keep building until the pool becomes a toxic soup of chemicals. These toxins enter the body in three ways: skin absorption, inhalation, and ingestion of pool water. Skin is the largest organ of the body and the source of highest exposure. We have known for years that these chemicals can cause burning eyes, skin irritation, difficulty breathing and damage to dental enamel. And now scientists are discovering even more severe conse-quences. Research conducted at the Centre for Research in Environ-mental Epidemiology found that using chlorinated swimming pools increased bladder cancer risk by 57%.† Researchers at the Catholic University found that children with the highest pool attendance were five times more likely to suffer from allergies and asthma than young people who had never swam in a pool.‡ Unfortunately, our children face the highest risks because of their larger skin surface relative to weight. SpectraLight is designed to safely eliminate dangerous chlorine by-products, helping us to protect what’s important.

what are the savings? With traditional chemical sanitation, water chemistry is trapped in a vicious cycle. Spectra-Light breaks this cycle once and for all. While it’s not really about the money, many SpectraLight users report saving over $400. per year in chemicals. And with high water quality, pumps, filters, heaters, and pool surfaces will all last longer. SpectraLight also eliminates the need to purchase expensive specialty chemicals like algaecide. With fewer chemicals to disrupt water chemistry, pH bal-ance is easy. And we haven’t even mentioned the time savings. Over the years, how much time have we all spent fighting the battle with algae and cloudy water?

Comparison ofChlorine Levels

what about salt water pools?

According to the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals, “a salt pool equals a chlorine pool”. Salt water pools use electrolysis to manufacture chlorine from salt. Salt pools maintain chlorine levels above what many re-searchers consider safe, and disinfection by-products are produced. But there is good news for salt pool owners. SpectraLight is compatible with salt-based chlorinators. With Spectra-Light on the job, salt pool owners can dial down the chlorine generator’s output and enjoy safe water.

change is underway

We’ve been hearing about going green at home for years, now it’s your pool’s turn. With over 8 million pools in operation, there’s a huge opportunity to lighten the impact on our environ-ment. And with the recent reports about how chlorine is affecting our health, the call to action becomes even more important. SpectraLight reduces environmental impact by shrink-ing the chemical footprint which reduces the use of fossil fuels and the emission of greenhouse gases. Together, we can make your swimming pool a healthier place for your family and preserve our environment. Now that’s protect-ing what’s important.

Our solid-state ballasts are engineered for maximum efficiency - saving up to 30%. Fuse-protected and switched, each solid-state electronic ballast is weather protected by a NEMA enclo-sure powder-coated in stone gray.

Aerospace Developed Double Seal

Fluoroelastomers were invented to meet the demanding needs of the aerospace industry. The same elastomers give Spectra-Light outstanding reliability. Each part is machined from billet stock. We then add stainless steel inserts and EPDM O-rings for a seal that’s virtually indestructible.

For all its technical sophistication, a Spectra-Light installation is straightforward. Connect the two ports and plug it in, its that simple.

Is SpectraLight safe?

SpectraLight is 100% safe. UV light cannot pass through the graphite housing. UV has no risk of overdose and produces no toxic by-products. UV is approved by the EPA for disinfection of drinking water.

“I would highly recommend the system. Within two or three days we could notice an appreciable difference in the amount of burning in their eyes... It was a very dramatic change...it was very quick...”

“We contacted SpectraLight and had a great offer...we got the unit at a good price relative to some of the other commercial products we looked at. It only took a couple of days before the chloramine levels dropped dramatically. It really does work.”

“It was night and day...it was a totally different environment...you gotta install this system...it’s the only thing that helped after everything we tried to do...we haven’t had any problems with the kids and the pool.”

US Navy selects SpectraLight UV The U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program trains Bottle-nose Dolphins to perform ship and harbor protection, mine de-tection and equipment recovery. The cornerstone of the dolphin pool water quality program is ultraviolet sanitation.

SpectraLight UV maintains a healthy environment by eliminating bacteria and other waterborne pathogens. It is an honor to fulfill the U.S. Navy's ultraviolet system needs.
