Disinfection eliminates microbiological substances such as bacteria, viruses, and cysts to protect the health of the swimmers, bathers, employees and spectators.  Some methods are more effective than others when targeting specific species and some methods have adverse side-effects such as creating disinfection byproducts whose health effects are known and unknown.  It is generally understood that that no single disinfection technology can meet all the treatment objectives.




Siemens Water Technologies has the unique capability and experience to provide a multi-barrier approach that meets your complete disinfection objectives, maximizing treatment results and minimizing life-cycle costs and risk.  Our experts analyze your treatment objectives, availability of chemicals, energy costs, transportation and labor costs to develop the optimum disinfection solution.

Increased regulatory drivers are requiring better analytical control and reporting to stay within regulated or permitted limits.  Siemens Water Technologies also provides a wide range of water quality instrumentation for a total-systems solution with complete analysis, control and communication of water quality.

Technologies in our portfolio to help you with disinfection include:

• Ultraviolet (UV) light systems- disinfection without chemicals
• On-site hypochlorite generation systems- eliminates chemical storage
• Chlorine dioxide generation systems- a powerful disinfectant
• Gas chlorination systems- an industry standard approach
• Water qualaity analyzers and controllers- minimize operating cost and risk
