The crucial issues of water treatment

In an establishment open to the public, the quality of the water is essential.

Issues of water treatment, regulations requirements, and maintenance challenges can annihilate profitability of your new hot tub. From day one, you must consider how much the long-term vision determines the success of a hot tub or Jacuzzi.

The very tempting trap of ordinary filtration

While water quality regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, administrative penalties are not the only risk faced by careless public facility operators.

These days, concerned visitors don’t hesitate to share their grievances on social media, which can quickly undermine a long-established reputation.

So if the choice of a hot tub is important, the selection of a filtration method and bacteriological treatment system is crucial. However, manufacturers and sellers of hot tubs or Jacuzzis often neglect these essential parameters.

Many customers focus on the design and price when it is the out of sight elements of a hot tub that demand more attention and an uncompromising budget.

The frequent use of hot tubs available at hotels, lodges, campsites, and other accommodations generates significantly more maintenance compared to those related to private use.
This means ordinary filtration won’t be suitable.

Why is it so difficult to treat a hot tub at 38ºC - even with chemicals (chlorine/bromine)?

Several parameters influence the quality of the water :

Properties of the filling water
Heating the water to 38ºC is required to inhibit bacterial growth
pH regulation is often out of range
A wooden tank generates a significant release of tannin
Outdoor settlements are subject to a substantial amount of organic matter (leaves, dust, pollen, various pollutants, etc.)
Multiple users
Random showering - bacterial contamination comes mainly from bathers

The solution :
Combine efficiency and prevention with UBO Nature !

With 10 years of experience and over 100 installations in France alone, our innovative system has proven its reliability, specifically designed for Nordic baths and spas installed in public establishments (ERP).
Thanks to its unique approach, UBO Nature targets all the key parameters affecting water quality while remaining environmentally friendly.

Ultra-High-Performance Filtration Combined with a Unique Bacteriological Treatment

One of its key features lies in the combination of multiple advanced processes: ultra-high-performance filtration, powerful UV-C lamps, an advanced active oxygen activation process, used in minimal quantities to effectively target the full spectrum of pathogenic contamination.

The Swiss Army Knife of Bacteriological Control
UBO Nature also prevents the development of the dreaded biofilm, reducing the need for aggressive chemical treatments like chlorine when it’s already too late.
As adhesive as it is invasive, biofilm is formed through the cooperation of bacteria, fungi, algae, and other protozoa. By tackling this issue at its root, UBO Nature ensures cleaner, safer water with minimal chemical impact.

Avoid mistakes

All the parameters mentioned above generate significant microbial development which must be countered in a strong and targeted manner.

Operators enter a vicious circle because the use of recommended doses of chemicals (chlorine / bromine) is often insufficient. Increasing quantities beyond standards is therefore the only way out.



You must know that

Chlorine and bromine do not penetrate the adhesive and protective layer of the biofilm.
These chemical agents are therefore unable to eliminate it and the microorganisms continue to proliferate.

Consequences for the user

The hot tub, which is supposed to be relaxing, becomes an unpleasant concentrate of chemicals.



Important

After a few weeks of use, biofilm invades all the components of a hot tub and filtration system.
Manual cleaning and simple emptying will not get rid of the biofilm which insinuates itself in the most unreachable places:
pipes, pumps, filters, etc.
Filling a bathtub without having completely eradicated the biofilm means contaminating the water immediately !

How to treat spa water?

Easy to install: delivered assembled and “ready to install”, our system can be adapted to existing installations.

If the regulations of a country requires it, our system is completed by the injection of chlorine or bromine, which is automatically adjusted to the minimum rate possible.
