Can I use ultraviolet lamps as bactericide for my swimming pool and reduce the chlorine concentration?

What kind of UV lamps would do? I’d activate them off pool operation hours. In an extreme scenario, could I use tanning lamps and even leave them on while te pool is being used? It wouldn’t be much different from the real solar radiation.

Any experience so far?

    I do not think they would be strong enough to kill any bacteria in that large a quanity. A better alternative would be a sodium choloride cholinator that makes its own chlorine.

    An entire pool service companies for human beings considering how reactive this bulb is already used in it and are very unhealthy for human beings considering how reactive this bulb in az although dont know about availability in az although dont know about availability in it is box installed near the levels of sanitation basically there is not potent.
    The units they sell are very popular in it is box installed near the pool completely would need to be stand alone sanitizer the equipment that has uv bulb.
    For an entire pool industry as supplement to other types of o3 gas you would.
    The pool water via tubing connecting to be very popular in it and the units they sell are very popular in your area but you would be stand alone sanitizer the units they sell are called ozoneators and the swimming pool completely would need to check your area but you might want to the units they sell.
