CAN I USE ULTRAVIOLET LAMPS AS BACTERICIDE FOR MY SWIMMING POOL AND REDUCE THE CHLORINE CONCENTRATION?

What kind of UV lamps would do? we 'd out of a active hours of operation of a pond. In an impassioned movement plan, we could make use of tanning lamps and even leave it over a pool whilst you're using? It wouldn 't be most opposite from a genuine solar radiation. 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.
UV or O3 gas is already used in the swimming pool industry as a supplement to other types of sanitation. Basically there is a box installed near the pool equipment that has a UV bulb in it, and the O3 gas generated by this bulb is pumped into the pool water via tubing connecting to the equipment. Unfortunately, it is not potent enough to be a stand alone sanitizer. The levels of O3 gas you would need to sanitize an entire pool completely would be very unhealthy for human beings considering how reactive this particular gas is with organic tissues.
The units they sell are called “Ozoneators”, and are very popular in AZ. Although I don’t know about availability in your area, but you might want to check your local pool service companies for an estimate and/or availability.
