Before you Begin

The Hayward HydroRite

HYD-UVO is designed for use in residential swimming pools and spas; it must not be used in potable (drinking) water installations. Use

of this product in applications other than swimming pools and spas will void your warranty and could be harmful to your health or the health of others.

How the Hayward HydroRite Works

The Hayward HydroRite contains a high intensity electrically operated Ultraviolet (UV) lamp which is located inside the unit’s wet chamber. The UV lamp emits

light at two separate wavelengths within the UV spectrum; 254 nm and 185 nm. The 254 nm wavelength is called the “germicidal” wavelength. This wavelength

is capable of inactivating a wide array of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa (e.g. Cryptosporidium and Giardia), algae spores and other single

vesseled waterborne microbes. The 254 nm UV light alters the DNA and RNA of the microorganisms rendering them incapable of infection. The 185 nm wave-

length, on the other hand, is called the “ozone generating” wavelength and is responsible for converting oxygen contained in the quartz sleeve area, into ozone.

The ozone so created is introduced into the water stream using a venturi. Ozone, a strong oxidizer and bactericide, works together with the UV to oxidize bather

waste and inactivate microorganisms utilizing a process known as “advanced-oxidation”.

When the HydroRite is creating Ozone, bubbles will appear within the HydroRite vessel and may also be seen at the return jets in the pool. At ﬂow rates below

35 gpm, Ozone creation will stop and the bubbles will disappear. Although low ﬂow rates will prevent the creation of ozone, the longer exposure time to UV

light within the vessel will increase the efﬁciency and efﬁcacy of the UV sanitization process. Consider these factors when setting run times and pump speeds.
