Chlorine-Free: How It Works

Okay, let's get technical for a minute...
Pure, clear, and clean water is produced through two processes: copper ionization and non-chemical oxidation.  These safe and efficient water purification processes give ECOsmarte systems a unique edge.

Copper Ionization
Copper ionization was developed in 1967 for the Apollo Space Program to insure safe drinking water and to control scale in cooling
systems during space missions.  The ECOsmarte system incorporates this same technology.  The copper ions created by the
ECOsmarte system are safe and essential for humans, plants, and animals, but are lethal to bacteria, algae, and some viruses and
prevents them from growing in the water.

Copper ions are only added to the water for a few hours each week in swimming pools and only a few minutes each week or month in spas.  This sanitizing agent, produced by the ionization process, is recognized by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Natural Non-Chemical Oxidation
ECOsmarte's proprietary non-chemical method of oxidation is what makes it unique when compared to other chemical reducing water purification systems on the market.  Oxidation is achieved by water passing through the chamber while low voltage electrical current is sent to the coated titanium plates in the chamber.  While in the oxidation mode, a proprietary process of electrolysis causes the electro-physical separation of water into oxygen and hydrogen.  This separation forms free oxygen atoms and hydroxyl radicals (OH).  This proprietary process creates a combination of the most powerful oxidizers available for water disinfection.  These oxidizers, the oxygen atoms and hydroxyl ions, are responsible for eliminating body oils, sun tan lotions, as well as, any dead organic matter (that is killed by the copper ions).  The ECOsmarte system produces oxidizers, measured in grams per minute, at a level that is not available with ozone generating systems.  Additionally, each ECOsmarte oxidizer is more powerful than sodium hypochlorite, the most common form of chlorine.
