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.
