Pentair BioShield UV system 522636 – 80 W

Improve your pool water quality with the Pentair BioShield 522636 UV system, equipped with an 80 W UV lamp and designed to work alongside the pool’s primary treatment system.

By exposing the water to UV light, BioShield helps in particular to reduce chloramines, of compounds associated with chlorine odors and discomfort that may be experienced around certain pools. Pentair indicates a reduction in combined chlorine of 25% or 0.25 mg/L, whichever is higher, under the applicable test conditions.

A complement to your pool treatment

The BioShield system integrates into the water circulation loop to complement the existing treatment.

The Pentair manual indicates a typical installation after the filter and before the primary sanitizer and return to the pool. BioShield is certified as a water-conditioning device and should not be considered a replacement for the primary disinfection system.

Helps improve swimming comfort

By helping reduce chloramines, BioShield can contribute to a more pleasant swimming experience, particularly by reducing compounds associated with chemical odors, red eyes, and skin discomfort.

Installation in the circulation system

Pentair recommends installing the UV unit after the mechanical filter, so that the water passing through the system contains as few particles as possible that could reduce UV transmission. If the system flow rate exceeds the unit’s rated capacity, a bypass circuit is required.

A complementary UV solution for your pool

The Pentair BioShield 522636 80 W is an attractive option for adding UV treatment to your existing setup and helping control chloramines without replacing the pool’s primary sanitizer.
