The Vega is a 5-gallon or 19.0 litres HDPE disposable container of chemically impregnated media designed to react on contact to convert chlorine to harmless landfill disposable salt.
Unlike carbon-based media used for the same purpose, the Vega media eliminates concerns of combustion and has no need of neutralisation prior to disposal.
The Vega is equipped with inlet and outlet chlorine colorimetric indicator strips.
Exposure to chlorine will turn the white strips yellow.
Under normal operating conditions, the Vega system has an operating life of approximately one year.
Once exhausted, the entire system can be disposed of in a non-hazardous landfill.
Severn Trent Services recommends two Vega arrangements; single-system and stacked-system.
A stacked-system is recommended when no chlorine escape can be tolerated.
