Having issues keeping a clear pool? Maybe you can’t stand the chlorine any longer?
There are options out there to keep a clear pool and eliminate or reduce chlorine. The best option we have found is ionization.
Ionization Origins
The use of metals in water purification predates any scientific explanation for the phenomenon. Copper and silver vessels or water buckets containing coins, showed a remarkable tendency to keep the water free of algae and in a drinkable condition for extended periods of time.
The use of ionization for water purification was pioneered in the 60’s by NASA. Caribbean Clear incorporated this technology and developed an ionization product for introducing both copper and silver to swimming pool water. For its efforts, Caribbean Clear has been twice featured in NASA’s publication “Spinoff.”
Copper is a well known algaecide and is commonly used to control algae in lakes and reservoirs. It is also the active ingredient in many swimming pool algaecides. A trace level of 0.2 ppm copper is typically needed to control algae commonly found in swimming pools.
Silver and many of its compounds have unique antimicrobial properties and are commonly used in modern medicine. A level of approximately 0.015 ppm silver is used to control bacteria. Click the link for more information on Caribbean Clear and get or keep a clear pool today.
