The gas stripper was invented by inBlue and installed in our first system, and many after that. Our R&D realized that most of the dangerous chlorine by-products like trichloramine and chloroform are gasses that can be stripped out. Several internal and external science projects have led to the current optimized ULTRAAQUA GAS Stripper.
Chlorinated clean water has no smell! When chlorine reacts with particles, dissolved particles, urine and sweat, it generates chlorine by-products. Gaseous chlorine by-products have the distinct smell of pool we all know and are considered dangerous in elevated concentrations. Gaseous chlorine by-products will evaporate from the water and at first be dangerous right above the water surface where our noses are during swimming. By eliminating most of the chlorinated by-products, the ULTRAAQUA GAS Stripper minimizes the risk of respiratory discomfort for bathers.
The variation of gaseous THMs and chloramines over one day typically follows a pattern, where the concentration drops from the opening time to the closing time of the pool due to venting caused by splashing water and general bathing activity. It rises again during the night to the maximum concentration just before opening. Based on bather load, system data and installed water treatment technology, our science department can predict the concentration dynamics of THM and trichloramine in each pool, offering optimal control of unwanted gaseous chlorine by-products.
By eliminating most of the chlorinated by-products, the ULTRAAQUA GAS Stripper minimizes the risk of respiratory discomfort for bathers. In addition, water and ventilation air exchange can be reduced thereby also reducing the amount of energy required to operate the entire recreational facility.
