Copper Ionization

Chlorine is one of the popular chemicals used to maintain the health of swimming pools. It helps keep the swimming pool clear and free of algae and harmful microorganisms. Although this chemical is widely used, a growing number of consumers are concerned of its toxic nature and lingering side effects.

The water ionization concept was first developed by NASA and is one of the most effective and least expensive of all disinfecting methods used today. This method is proven to produce safe pool water that is not irritating to bathers. Copper ionization system used in our pool are completely safe for dogs to swim in.

Are Pool Ionizers Safe?

Copper ionizers for pools are proven to be lethal for algae and other microorganisms. On the contrary, they are safe for human beings. Copper has been recognized as an essential mineral for the human body. Over the years, several tests were performed to analyse the effectiveness of copper ionization for swimming pools and other water bodies. During the tests performed at the University of Arizona, it was concluded that the copper ionization water treatment is 1000 times effective than traditional treatments. Thus, ionization systems for swimming pools emerged as a natural option to disinfect your pool.

Benefits of Copper Ionization

  • Copper ionization is a 100% safe and healthy option for treating spas, and pools. It is safe for humans and poses no harm to the environment.
  • Unlike chlorine and other halogenated products, it does not produce harmful disinfection by products such as chloroform, chloramines, and trihalomethanes.
  • Contrast to chlorine, copper ions remain in the water for a long time and are not affected by temperature changes and are not broken down by the U/V ray produced by the sun.
  • Copper ions offers effective, long-lasting residual protection to prevent unwanted microbial growth.
  • Unlike chlorinated pools, ionized pools are safer for young children, the elderly, and individuals suffering from allergies and bronchitis.
  • Dogs are completely safe even if they drink some of the water.

Chlorine

We are advised by our UV Copper Ionization system supplier to use a small amount of chlorine on the basis of 1ppm (public pool is 5ppm). This is a very small amount and is completely safe for dogs to swim in.
