SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION 1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION The Sentry Aqua Guard system is a low pressure, high output amalgam, ultraviolet light sterilizer designed for commercial swimming pool applications. The Sentry Aqua Guard is capable of sterilizing and oxidizing up to 1141 gallons per minute of water. The system operates at light wavelengths of 254nm for sterilizing and 185nm for oxidizing.
1.2 PRINCIPALS OF OPERATION UV Light Chamber (See Figure 1) The UV Light Chamber is made from highly polished 316L stainless steel or 316L stainless steel lined PVC. Quartz sleeves separate the low pressure, high output amalgam germicidal lamps from the water. The water to be treated flows into the bottom of the chamber.

The chart and temperature compensation formula below are used to determine the maximum system flow rate for satisfactory system performance. Select the chart for your UV model and a flow rate from the chart based on the % Transmittance (%T) of the pool. If you are unsure of the %T, use 95%. The flow rate must then be compensated for temperatures less than 88°F.
