Swimming pool Ionizer:
Another choice for a pool alternative sanitizer is an Electrolytic mineral ion systems, such as copper-silver ionization, are a proven, effective, non-chemical method to help control bacteria, algae and viruses. The principal of using metals for water purification dates back hundreds of years but the technology really began to develop in the 1960's when the Johnson Space Center conducted a research aimed at the development of a water purifier that required minimal power and no human monitoring. This program produced an electrolytic silver ion generator used to sanitize the potable water supply and waste water system of a spacecraft. NASA released the design information to the industry and ionization has since been used for pools, spas, cooling towers and other applications.
Swimming pool ionizers typically consist of two electrodes, one anode and one cathode made of a proportion of copper and silver. These are placed in a chamber that is mounted in the existing water recirculation system. An electronic controller sends low-voltage, DC current to the electrodes. This voltage causes some of the outer atoms of the electrodes to lose an electron, turning these into positive ions. These ions attempt to flow from one electrode to another but instead, are carried to the pool or spa by the flow of water. Since both copper and silver have algaecidal and anti-bacterial properties, these ions sanitize the water while posing no threat to human health.
Advantages of ionization include improved water quality, effective algae and bacteria control, reduced chemical usage, automated operation and an environmentally friendly method of water sanitation. As with the ozonators, a low level of chlorine is also recommended with the use of an ion system. Together, chlorine and an ionizer sanitize better than either method will by itself. When used in conjunction, the chlorine level is basically unnoticeable at less than .5ppm and the ion system is much more effective due to the presence of a low level of halogen which provides constant oxidation. Ionizers are somewhat less expensive than ozonators and salt chlorine generators and offer a good value in alternative sanitizers. There is a variety of pool ionizers in the market we use high quality brands such as Eco Smarte from USA. As for ionizer replacement parts, the anode is what you would eventually need to replace. The life span of the anode depends on pool usage. In warmers climates where pools are kept open year round, the anode will typically last 12 - 18 months. In colder areas of the country where the pools are closed in the winter, the anode should last about three year Contact Olympic Pool for further details.
OLYMPIC POOL supply swimming pool Ionizer to the major cities of Pakistan like Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Karachi, Peshawar, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Quetta etc.
