| Copper/Silver Ionization (Disinfection) |
|
Electronic water disinfection utilizing Ionization was first developed by NASA for drinking water purification aboard U.S. spacecraft. An "Ion Chamber", containing specially formulated Copper/Silver alloy electrodes is installed in the pool's recirculation system. A safe, low voltage is applied to the electrodes by the Oxi-Ion Controller, producing "Ions" (positively charged atoms of copper & silver), which enter the water steam, where they act to kill algae, bacteria, viruses, fungus, yeast and mold. |

The dead organisms are then removed by the pool's filtration system. The metal ions provide a long-term, stable disinfection residual that is not affected by heat, sunlight or evaporation. |
