Balboa WaveZone

This system uses Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) technology, which combines UV light and ozone to create hydroxyl radicals. These radicals are powerful oxidizers that break down contaminants and bacteria more effectively than either method could alone, resulting in significantly cleaner water.

No, it does not replace chemical sanitizers entirely. While it drastically reduces the amount of chlorine or bromine you need to add, you will still need a small residual level of sanitizer to maintain safety and meet health standards.

The WaveZone is designed for a standard 3/4-inch barb connection and requires a minimum flow rate of 2 GPM. As long as your plumbing setup can accommodate this flow and pipe size, it should be compatible with most standard hot tubs and swim spas.

This model does not feature a self-cleaning cell, so you will need to perform routine maintenance. You should periodically inspect the connections and replace the UV lamp and ozone cell according to the manufacturer's recommended service intervals to ensure optimal performance.

The system is specifically rated for a maximum capacity of 2,000 gallons. Installing it on a larger spa will likely result in inadequate sanitation, as the ozone output and UV exposure will not be sufficient to treat the increased volume of water effectively.

This unit operates on 230V power at 50/60Hz with a rated amperage of 0.9A. Ensure your spa's electrical system can support these specifications before installation.
