PENTAIR BIOSHIELD CVP Vertical UV Disinfection Sterilizer User Manual

PENTAIR BIOSHIELD CVP Vertical UV Disinfection Sterilizer

Product Information

• The UV Disinfection System from Pentair is a low-pressure UV system designed to provide instant protection against harmful waterborne pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. It also effectively removes chloramines, ensuring clean and safe swimming conditions. The system features a vertical standing design with a flanged base, single-end top-loading lamp, and quartz sleeve, maximizing serviceability while minimizing floor space.
• The system includes standard features such as a user-friendly microprocessor-based controller/monitor, which allows for easy command initiation through a menu-driven digital interface with touch pad controls. Additionally, the system offers various optional features to suit specific requirements.
• UV systems operate by emitting UV-C light (wavelength range 240-280 nm) through UV lamps. Waterborne pathogens in the circulating water are exposed to this UV-C light for a specific duration, leading to their inactivation. The UV system’s peak germicidal efficiency is at 264 nm wavelength.
• UV disinfection is an instant and efficient method of germicidal disinfection compared to traditional methods such as free chlorine. It inactivates germs commonly associated with Recreational Water Illnesses (RWIs) like Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and E. Coli. UV disinfection provides single-pass treatment and is considered a green technology that contributes to maintaining healthy swimming water.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Pool Design: Ensure proper pool design to establish a bio-secure swimming facility. Consider incorporating the UV Disinfection System during the pool design stage.
2. Installation: Install the UV Disinfection System vertically, using the provided flanged base. Make sure the system is positioned for easy access and serviceability.
3. Controller Setup: Connect the system’s microprocessor-based controller/monitor to the power source and follow the instructions provided in the user manual to set up the control panel features according to your preferences.
4. Operation: Once the system is installed and the controller is set up, the UV Disinfection System will start emitting UV-C light. Ensure that the system is running continuously during pool operation to effectively disinfect the water and remove chloramines.
5. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the UV lamps, quartz sleeve, and other components for any signs of damage or wear. Follow the maintenance instructions provided in the user manual to ensure optimal performance of the system.
6. Replacement: When necessary, replace the UV lamps and quartz sleeve according to the recommended schedule mentioned in the user manual. Use genuine replacement parts from Pentair to maintain the system’s effectiveness.
   By following these usage instructions and properly maintaining the UV Disinfection System, you can ensure a safe and healthy swimming environment with clean water and air conditions.

THE PROVEN SOLUTION

• Safe and healthy swimming is a matter of clean water and air conditions. Whether you swim in a residential or public pool, poorly maintained water chemistry and air quality can make you sick.
• UV has proven to be the solution for dangerous RWI’s (Recreational Water Illnesses) and Chloramines (Chemical Ir-ritants). UV Treatment is as natural as sunlight. More specifically, UV-C light is a natural component of the electromag-netic radiation that the Sun emits. Much of the Sun’s radiation is absorbed by ozone in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, but some UV-C light passes through and acts as a natural disinfectant. UV-C light inactivates exposed microorganisms, including those found in surface waters.
• UV systems operate the same way. Inside a UV system, UV lamps emit UV-C light (wavelength range 240-280 nm). Waterborne pathogens in the water circulating through the UV vessel are exposed to the UV-C light for a determined amount of time and become inactivated.

SOLUTION FOR GERMS THAT CAUSE RWI’s

UV is instant germicidal disinfection, Free Chlorine is not. UV disinfection inactivates germs (Cryptosporidium, Giardia and E. Coli.) most commonly associated with RWI’s. UV disinfection provides instant (single-pass) treatment unlike Free-Chlorine and ozone. UV systems are a “Green” Technology and deliver multiple benefits contributing to healthy swim water.

Chlorine Disinfection Is Not Instant

LOW PRESSURE UV IS THE PROVEN GREEN SOLUTION

• Two UV technologies exist: Low-pressure (LP) and Medium-pressure (MP). Both UV technologies inactivate dangerous pathogens and irritating Chloramines but MP UV sys-tems cost almost 3x more to operate than LP. In the past, Medium-pressure UV systems were believed to be more effective than Low-pressure due to MP’s high UV-C light output and compact package, but over the years LP UV lamp technology has improved to the point where LP lamps are now 5x more powerful than they were initially. Today, LP UV lamp technology continues to evolve and has significantly narrowed the gap of number of lamps required between MP and LP UV systems. The result is that LP UV systems now cost nearly 3x less to operate than MP UV systems.
• LP and MP UV lamps operate very differently. MP UV lamps convert 11-15% of their input electricity into UV-C light. LP UV lamps convert 35-40%, making them much more effec-tive and cost-efficient at germicidal disinfection and Chlora-mine control.

MONEY-SAVING FACTS

• Conserve Free-Chlorine
  MP UV lamps decay Free-Chlorine which increases opera-tional cost. LP UV lamps are proven to conserve Free-Chlo-rine by as much as 30%, saving you money.

• Low Heat Output
  LP Amalgam lamps operate at 180°F, MP lamps at 1,600°F. The extreme heat generated by MP UV lamps intensifies the problem of quartz sleeve fouling and creates the need for expensive and problematic quartz sleeve wiping sys-tems. This ultimately complicates equipment maintenance. BioShield Amalgam UV lamps operate at a fraction of that heat output and do not require the addition of a quartz sleeve wiping system.

• Longest Lamp-Life

  • LP UV lamp life of 12,000 hours, outlast MP lamps by as much as 3 times. Even with the need for additional lamps compared to MP, the high cost and short life of MP make LP UV up to 3 times less costly to maintain.
  • For example: a 288,000 gallon pool using a MP UV system, operating at 800 GPM, and delivering a UV dose to 60 mJ/cm2, replaces MP UV lamps annually at a cost of $1,120 each ($3,300). Compare that to a LP UV system which replaces 7 lamps annually at a cost of $160 each ($1,120). The lamps are oversized at startup to accommodate a 20% degradation during the course of 12,000 hours

SIZING YOUR BIOSHIELD® CVP UV SYSTEM

1. Establishing flow rate requirements in GPM is critical to selecting the correct UV system for your application.

2. Know your UVT (Ultraviolet Light Transmittance) and Target Dose. Particles suspended in water will absorb or reflect UV, even if the water looks “clear”. UVT is the measure of how much UV-C light transmittance (at 254nm) in water. Pentair has selected 90% UVT as a reasonably conservative value in our sizing charts. Other manufacturers may use a higher UVT% which will greatly overrate their
   flow capacity compared to that at 90% UVT. The best way to know your UVT is to measure it. Target Dose depends on the intended purpose of the UV reactor. While this can be complicated, the following rules-of-thumb are often used at minimum:UV Dose                  Commercial Application

   40 mJ/cm2| Inactivation of Cryptosporidium and other chlorine tolerant pathogens
   60 mJ/cm2| Additional breakdown of Chloramines for greatly improved air and water quality

3. Choose your BioShield UV System model. Using the below chart, select a unit that can treat your system flow at the desired dose. When selecting a port size, be sure the system flow rate will never exceed “Max. Flow for Port Size”.
