Flagship System

PUV αnano18 — pure water, zero chemicals.

A digitally driven medium-pressure UV purification system that kills bacteria and viruses at DNA level and photochemically removes residual chlorine — built for chlorine-free pools and demanding industrial water.

PUV αnano18 water purification unit — skid-mounted UV reactor with filter and pump
How It Works

Medium-pressure UV, engineered for flow.

Water flows through a hydrodynamically designed UV reactor fitted with medium-pressure lamps emitting across 185–400 nm:

  • 254 nm UV-C destroys the DNA of bacteria, viruses and spore-forming pathogens — E. coli, Shigella, Salmonella and more
  • 185 nm photochemically decomposes hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite, removing residual chlorine without reducing agents or activated carbon
  • Multi-wavelength output suits high-flow projects where low-pressure UV falls short
  • No revival effect — disinfection is permanent, with no bacterial rebound downstream

UV vs. Chlorine

Why pool operators are switching.

Chlorination leaves residual chlorine and generates mutagenic by-products such as trihalomethanes. UV changes the equation.

PUV αnano18 UV systemConventional chlorination
Chemicals added to waterNoneContinuous dosing required
Disinfection by-products (THMs)None formedCarcinogenic by-products form over time
Taste, odour & pHUnchangedChlorine smell, eye & skin irritation
Chlorine-resistant pathogensDestroyed at DNA levelMay survive
Bacterial reboundNo reboundRegrowth possible as chlorine decays
Residual chlorine controlActively removed (185 nm)Requires strict monitoring to meet limits

Reference: China national standard GB 37488-2019 sets strict limits for turbidity, free/combined chlorine, cyanuric acid, urea and microbial counts in public pool water — αnano18 helps operators meet them without adding chemistry.

Digital Monitoring

Cloud-connected water quality monitoring.

Every αnano18 installation can be paired with our sensor suite reporting to a cloud platform:

  • pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia-nitrogen, sodium, turbidity and temperature/humidity sensors
  • Live LED display of pool and footbath water quality
  • Alarms by phone call, SMS and on-site sound & light
  • Multiple transmission modes to the cloud platform
UV-C destroys the DNA of micro-organisms

UV-C radiation dimerises thymine bases, breaking DNA replication — a lethal, irreversible kill mechanism
