Secondary Disinfection
At Waterlink, we offer cutting-edge secondary disinfection solutions that go beyond traditional methods to ensure the highest standards of water quality. Our Synergy series combines Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) with ozone and UV technologies to effectively neutralize pathogens like Cryptosporidium, E. coli, and Giardia, while significantly reducing chloramine levels and unpleasant pool odours.
Synergy™
Synergy is a combination of Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) and Ozone in the one system.
There are many benefits of AOP UV, such as:
- Reduced chlorine consumption
- Rapidly meets legal levels for combined chlorine.
- Drastically diminishes pool hall odours.
- Improves water quality for a more pleasant experience and less skin irritation.
- Unrivalled protection against waterborne pathogens such as Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Giardia, Cysts, and Fungi
- Breaks down dissolved impurities like oils and organic wastes.
- Enhances filtration of suspended solids like skin cells, urine, sweat, and other organic matter.

How it works
Ozone
Ozone offers exceptional protection against waterborne pathogens like Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Giardia, cysts, and fungi. Unlike chlorine, ozone (O3) decomposes into simple oxygen, eliminating disinfection byproducts that can irritate bathers and staff. It reduces irritation and chlorine odours in indoor pools and minimises backwashing of filters, reducing water wastage. Ozone is a potent oxidant and disinfectant, surpassing chlorine in effectiveness. With a Waterlink commercial ozone system, aquatic facilities create a healthier environment and enhance water quality, providing patrons with a more enjoyable swimming experience.
UV
UV systems effectively neutralise a broad spectrum of pathogens while achieving a documented reduction in combined chlorine levels. Utilising an Ultraviolet light which is a chemical-free treatment process that ensures a safe and hygienic swimming environment. With a low operating cost, they can treat thousands of litres of pool water inexpensively. A UV system delivers noticeably clearer, softer water therefore enhancing the overall swimming experience for both bathers and staff by eliminating over 99% of pathogens, while significantly decreasing the amount of chlorine needed for pool maintenance.
