Blue Lagoon Xpert Buster UV-C Stainless Steel UV System

Xpert Buster UV-C is part of the Xpert series that Blue Lagoon developed for professional pools, and it is made in the Netherlands. The UV-C lamp inside the reactor produces radiation at a wavelength of 253.7 nm; this radiation inactivates bacteria, viruses, algae and fungi (e.g. Legionella and Cryptosporidium) and prevents them from reproducing. Overdosing with UV-C is not possible; the unit works without adding chemicals to the water.

The AISI 316L stainless steel reactor reflects the UV-C radiation, increasing efficiency by up to 35%. There are three lamp options: 80 W (VGE Lighttech T5, 4-pin), 140 W amalgam (VGE Lighttech T6) and 3×140 W amalgam; the model is selected according to the pool's circulation flow to deliver a disinfection dose of 30 mJ/cm². The electronic ballast runs on 230 V AC 50/60 Hz and maintains optimum lamp performance.

An LED hour meter in the lamp head tracks lamp life: green indicates normal operation, flashing green means 500 hours remain, and red means the lamp must be replaced. On the 140 W and 420 W models a flow switch is standard and turns the lamp off at insufficient flow (not available on the 80 W model). Thanks to interchangeable supports the unit can be mounted horizontally or vertically; water must always flow from bottom to top.

The unit is installed directly after the filter, before the heater and the pH/chlorine dosing points; it must never be mounted after a pH controller, chlorine dosing unit or salt electrolysis system. The quartz sleeve should be cleaned at least twice a year; the 80 W lamp lasts 9,000 hours and the 140 W amalgam lamp 16,000 hours. The stainless steel reactor must always be properly earthed.
