Pentair today announced its popular BioShield UV System received NSF approval to CCS (Component Certification Specification) # 18325, as a water conditioning device suitable for chloramine reduction in most commercial swimming pool applications.
The Pentair BioShield UV System delivers a reliable solution to help maintain a safe and efficient pool operation. The product’s advanced engineering provides clean water and air conditions that help ensure a safe and healthy swimming environment. For example, the BioShield low-pressure UV lamp offers up to 12,000 hours of continuous operation and reduces chlorine usage by up to 50% while eliminating chloramines to improve the air and water quality of aquatic facilities. In addition, the unit provides instant and ongoing protection against chlorine-resistant microorganisms such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
“We are pleased to now offer an affordable, dependable UV product that is approved for use in hotel, motel, apartment, condo or HMAC aquatic complexes and will help to safeguard pool environments,” says Ken Gregory, director of compliance and safety, at Pentair.
To earn NSF approval under CCS-18325, Pentair’s BioShield UV underwent rigorous testing and evaluation to verify the product met requirements for use in treating pool water. The BioShield UV is certified as a Water Conditioning Device and was not evaluated by NSF for supplemental or secondary disinfection. NSF International also audited Pentair’s manufacturing facility to verify compliance to the standard requirements. As a result, Pentair’s BioShield and related marketing materials can now bear the NSF CCS-18325 approval mark and are listed on NSF International’s website. NSF works closely with state, local and national regulatory authorities to gain recognition and acceptance for the NSF mark.
