~ Ionization ~
The concept of using minerals to
naturally purify water is as old as the earth itself and what nature
has already perfected, The Water Quality Store has harnessed in our
Ionization System. Our unique Ionization System automatically provides
safe, clean water for both your pool and spa, offering your family a
healthier and more enjoyable swimming environment. This system
dramatically reduces the need for chemicals and subsequently allows
your family the opportunity to relax in water that is gentle and safe
for your skin, hair and eyes. This naturally purified water is free of
the chemical odors and odd taste that is common in almost all
chemically conditioned water.
The chemicals that are used to kill bacteria in today’s market can be irritating to users, corrosive to pool and spa equipment, very labor intensive to transport and quite difficult to maintain at consistent levels. Yet The Water Quality Store’s Ionization System is designed to insure that precise, measured amounts of minerals are automatically released into your pool or spa to carefully and naturally clean your water. These minerals are unaffected by heat, the number of users in a pool/spa or the UV rays of the sun. So this year, come by The Water Quality Store and let us help you spend less time maintaining your pool or spa and more time enjoying them!!
How does an ionizer work?
A safe low voltage DC current is applied to the copper electrodes. As the ions attempt to move from one electrode to the other, many of them become suspended in the water.
How do copper ionizers purify water?
Copper ions have the ability to pierce the protective outer membrane of a cell and disrupt enzyme balance; thereby killing algae. Although lethal to bacteria and algae, pool ionizers are completely safe for humans. A multitude of scientific tests have been done proving the effectiveness of copper ionizer systems in pool and spa applications. Experimentation at the University of Arizona proves that such mineral ions, in conjunction with trace chlorine are 1,000 times more effective against algae than chlorine alone. Today, using a swimming pool ionizer is the most natural, safe way to treat your pool. You will be swimming in chemical free, non chlorine water.
Is ionization all that you need for your water?
Copper ionization completely purifies water. The only thing you will need other then a pool ionizer is a PH leveler. Swimming pool and Spa ionization is simple and effective.
Are ionizers safe?
Not only are they safe, but the minerals used for pool water purification are
recognized as essential minerals to the body. Normal concentration in pools and hot tubs is about 1/3 the amount allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency for drinking water.
How is ionization safer than chemicals?
Most, if not all of the chemicals used to purify water are caustic and or toxic. Many of which are now thought to be Carcinogenic.
How is a ionizer better than chemicals?
The need for high levels of chemicals is eliminated. Also eliminated are the strong chemical odors, damaging effects on hair, skin, fabrics, liners and spa equipment.
What are the operational costs of a ionizer?
In most cases, the electrodes will last three to five years and are relatively inexpensive to replace. The only other cost is the electrical consumption which is only a few dollars a year.
