Aqua System A/S

Aqua System A/S was established in 1980 by a very creative entrepreneur who recognised the cleansing effect of sunlight on water. Being a competition swimmer he, as many others, suffered from red eyes and skin irritation. He realised the water quality in indoor pools, using chlorine as disinfectant, was much poorer than outdoor pools. He discovered the harmful effects are caused by chloramines formed in indoor pools. In contrast he noticed outdoor pools were nearly free from this compound due to their exposure to sunlight. Practical research in 1979 led to the manufacture of a unit using a combination of UV disinfection and photo chemistry to reduce the unwanted chloramines. The systems provide superior treatment of waters needing protection against infection by bacteria, viruses, spores and other micro organisms without changing the chemical composition of the water. Aqua System is supplying water treatment systems worldwide.
