How does a swimming pool ionizer work?
A. 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?
A. 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 pool ionization all that you need for your water?
A. Copper ionization completely purifies water. The only thing you will need other
then a pool ionizer is a PH leveler. Swimming pool ionization is simple and effective.
Are pool ionizers safe?
A. 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 a pool ionization safer than chemicals?
A. 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 swimming pool ionizer better than chemicals?
A. 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 copper pool ionizer?
A. 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.

What does the boost do on a saltwater system?
copper ionization
Which has highest ionization tendency the lead copper zinc or aluminum?
Aluminium has the highest tendency.
How does copper transport electricity?
Copper is one of the best electrical conductors because it has very low electronegativity and ionization energies which are in play to facilitate electrical conductivity.

Yes, your options on sanitizers include Biguanides or PHMB's, and copper-based ionization systems.

What about using the copper ionizer the pros and cons if any?
Another option for pool sanitation is salt water pools. But copper ionization is better for many reasons. 1. Swimmers prefer the feel and taste of water treated by Copper Ionization over salt water pools by an overwhelming margin. (citation of study/survey is needed)2. Copper Ionization systems work within a calcium hardness range of 200-2,000ppm. Because it converts calcium to bicarbonate, the Copper Ionization will eliminate and prevent calcium scaling on pool walls and rock features. Salt water pools do not control calcium scaling and will only work within a calcium range of 200-400 ppm.3. Since salt water pool systems produce chlorine, the sanitizing effectiveness of the system is impacted by changes in temperature, bather load, sunlight and rainfall. Changes in any of these factors may require additional "shocking" of the water to prevent an algae outbreak. The effectiveness of Copper Ionization is not significantly affected by these factors. A Copper Ionization System owner does not have to be concerned about doing anything different to treat their pool if they have 20 kids in the pool all day. The pool water will still provide bacterial and algae protection for a full week or more.4. Vinyl liners, automated pool covers and solar covers may become damaged from the use of chlorine or salt water pool systems. Since Copper Ionization systems do not require the use of harmful oxidizing chemicals, these expensive pool components can be expected to last their normal life expectancy.5. Salt water pool systems will use an average of 500 watts of AC power for a 20,000 gallon pool. Copper Ionization systems will use an average of only 40 watts of DC power to treat the same amount of water.6. Salt water pool systems and Copper ionization systems both use a chamber in their process. The difference is that a salt water pool system's cell may need to be replaced in 3-5 years at a cost of over $400. The copper bars in the Copper Ionization chamber cost less than $100 to replace and they should last 4-7 years. The Ionization chamber is warranted for 5 years and should last indefinitely. 7. The backwash discharge from an Copper Ionization treated pool is safe for use on lawns and in gardens since it does not contain any salt or sodium. Backwash from pools treated with salt water systems can kill plant life, sterilize soil preventing plant growth and is prohibited in many municipalities in the United States and Australia (where salt water systems were invented). Some good system for copper ionization are... http://www.ecosmartepool.com http://www.price-lessproducts.com/POOLIONIZERS.html (cheapest prices) "8. One con is that if you do not keep your pool water in balance the copper ionizer will deposit copper sulfate on the walls of your pool plaster, turning it a light blue color. This is due to the copper rod depositing more copper into the pool than is needed to purify it. In this case the expected life of the copper rod will be reduced from the claim stated above." I have used an ionizer in my pool for a few years now and do prefer it over chemicals. I have not used a salt water system and do not know how it would compare. 9. The vast majority of staining issues (99%) are caused from shocking the pool with granular chlorine or tablets. This super-oxidizes the copper and drops it out of solution if dropped directly in the pool, thus causing staining. To avoid this, simply use a liquid solution of bleach, such as Clorox or any other inexpensive bleach. The rule of thumb is: For every 10,000 gallons of water, use 1 quart of liquid bleach, one a week or if the water turns milky, whichever occurs first.
