The Balboa Wavetec is a UV-C water purification system that keeps spa water genuinely clean without leaning on chemicals. UV-C light disrupts pathogen DNA directly, cutting your reliance on bromine or chlorine — meaning less odour, less eye irritation, and less skin dryness after every soak. It can also fully replace an ozone generator.
- ✅ UV-C purification — chemical-free pathogen control
- ✅ Reduces chlorine/bromine odour and skin irritation
- ✅ Low power draw — just 7W
- ✅ UV-C bulb typically lasts a full year
