LifeOX® M

Disinfection & Prevention of the Formation of Unhealthy Trichloramine & TOC Reduction in One Compact System = the Most Effective Pool Water Treatment Technology with the Fastest Return on Investment. Trichloramine causes: asthma, pool odor, red eyes, drying and burning of the skin, corrosion. TOC – the total amount of organic substances contaminating the water. Reducing TOC increases the amount of recyclable washing water after washing the filters = saving water and energy.

The LifeOX® M system treats water flows up to 250 m³/h, making it ideal for pools of all sizes, from small facilities to large aquaparks. Its scalability ensures consistent water quality even under heavy use, creating a healthy and safe environment for all swimmers, including toddlers and asthmatics.

Reducing chlorine usage by up to 90% with advanced technologies like LifeOX® M significantly lowers the ongoing costs of pool maintenance. This reduction includes savings on purchasing, storing, and handling chlorine, as well as minimizing the wear and tear on equipment caused by excessive chemical exposure. These operational savings lead to a faster return on your initial investment, typically within months, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice for maintaining a clean and healthy pool.

AOP systems with LifeAGE® technology offer minimal operational expenses through low power consumption and reduced service costs. They adapt UV radiation intensity to current needs, provide versatile performance under extreme loads, and extend lamp lifespan. By optimizing energy use, these systems lower the carbon footprint while maintaining superior water quality.

The magic lies in the dynamic release of energy needed to economically manage the intensity of UV radiation. The AOP system with the LifeAGE® technology emits UV intensity copying the minimum required radiation intensity curve. This system is autonomous and works in real-time. Therefore, it does not need to be connected to any external device that controls it to achieve this optimal intensity course. Therefore, the life of the UV lamp can be increased to up to 18,000 operating hours.

TOC (Total Organic Carbon) represents the total amount of organic substances in pool water, including sweat, body oils, and residues from personal care products. High TOC levels create an ideal environment for the formation of harmful chloramines, such as trichloramine, which cause eye irritation, skin dryness, and the characteristic “chlorine smell.” Elevated TOC also increases the demand for chlorine, leading to higher chemical usage and operating costs. Additionally, it reduces the efficiency of water treatment systems, compromises water clarity, and diminishes air quality around the pool. Lowering TOC improves overall water quality, reduces chemical dependency, and ensures a healthier and more pleasant pool environment for swimmers.

Trichloramine (NCl₃) forms when chlorine reacts with organic matter or ammonia, such as sweat or urine, in pool water. It causes the typical “chlorine smell,” eye and skin irritation, respiratory issues, and metal corrosion in pool structures. Removing trichloramine is essential for a healthier environment and can be achieved with medium-pressure UV systems, improving water quality, air conditions, and equipment longevity.

The high oxidation potential of ozone can be significantly increased by combining it with UV radiation. This method is known as advanced oxidation or UV oxidation. LIFETECH has developed its own LifeOX® technology based on optimised synergy between ozone and UV radiation.

The advanced oxidation process (AOP) is today’s best water treatment technology. AOP is based on the formation of OH- radicals in the water. These OH- radicals have considerably higher oxidation potential compared to other water treatment oxidants. This means that OH- radicals (i.e., AOP technology) are able to oxidise particles in water much faster and more efficiently. The comparison can be found in the chart above. OH- radicals have a higher oxidation potential than hydrogen peroxide or ozone. The higher the oxidation potential, the more effective the water disinfection and purification.

Trichloramine is a toxic substance that forms when chlorine reacts with nitrogen-containing compounds, such as sweat, body oils, and urine from swimmers. Its presence in pool water can lead to serious health risks, including eye irritation, coughing, difficulty breathing, and damage to the upper respiratory tract. Prolonged exposure has been linked to the development of asthma, allergies, and skin irritation, causing dryness and even premature aging.

By reducing chemical consumption, such as chlorine, these risks can be minimized while also lowering monthly pool maintenance costs. Lifetech’s advanced technologies provide an effective solution to combat trichloramine, ensuring a healthier and more pleasant pool environment.
