of the Administrative Code must have a UVDS as part of their filtration
system.
(C) A UVDS is not required
if another treatment process is used which the department has determined to be
capable of providing a 3-log (99.9 per cent) reduction of cryptosporidium at
the peak flow rate of the entire recirculation flow. Such performance must be
validated by an industry recognized and capable third party.
(D) UVDS' must be certified to meet the
NSF/ANSI Standard 50 for pools, spas, hot tubs, and other recreational water
facilities.
(E) All UVDS' must
include an automatic alarm to warn of a malfunction or impending

shock, excessive radiation, and protection from sunlight.
(G) The ultraviolet equipment, electrical
components, wiring, and installation shall comply with all local and national
electrical codes and Underwriters Laboratory standards.
(H) All UVDS must have an accurately
calibrated ultraviolet light intensity readout with sensors capable of
accurately reading the ultraviolet dosage. Sensors shall be calibrated at a
frequency in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and records of
valid calibration shall be maintained by the facility. The minimum dosage of
the UVDS will not go below forty millijoules per square centimeter.
(I) The UVDS shall be installed per the
design of an industry recognized and capable third party registered engineer or
third party pool designer with sufficent appropriate experience.
