8 benefits of ionization

8 bénéfices de l’ionisation

An ionizer is a device that releases positively charged silver and copper ions into the pool water. These ions destroy microorganisms, such as algae, bacteria, and fungi present in the water. There are several benefits to using a pool water ionizer, including the main ones.

1 - Better filtration

Most swimming pools are unclean because of the presence of tiny particles in the water. These particles are too small to be filtered and remain circulating in the pool water. The positive copper and silver ions emitted by the ionizer bind with these particles, which are negatively charged. After this fusion process, the particles are large enough to be removed by the filtration process.

2 – Destruction of algae and bacteria

The ionizer emits a low current, which is very effective in killing microorganisms in the pool water. This helps eliminate the presence of algae, bacteria, viruses and fungi in your pool, making it safer.

3 – Reduction in chlorine use

The copper-silver ionizer is very effective in combating algae and bacteria but you may need to add small amounts of chlorine to break down organic matter. However, the amount of chlorine needed is so small that it cannot be detected by swimmers.

4 – Gives clear and limpid water

With the use of a water ionizer, you can enjoy clean and clear water in your swimming pool. You don't have to worry about the smell of chlorine and other chemicals. The water stays clean longer and maintenance is reduced.

5 – Not harmful to pool equipment

Over time, chlorine, salt and other chemicals can react with pool components, whether metal, vinyl or otherwise. Corrosion and chemical reactions degrade equipment and reduce its lifespan. With the use of an ionizer, you can keep your pool in great condition for a long time.

6 - Danger to skin and eyes

Most swimmers complain of dry and itchy skin, rashes and burning sensation in the eyes after swimming, due to the use of chlorine that is added generously to the water. When using an ionizer, more sensitive swimmers do not feel any discomfort.

7 - Harmless to humans and pets

Pool water ionizers emit harmless ions that are not detectable or harmful to humans and animals. Therefore, your pool is safe for everyone, without any of the side effects of chlorinated water.

8 - Save money in the long term

When you use an ionizer for your pool, you save on the purchase of chlorine and other chemicals that are harmful to your health and the environment as well as on premature replacement of equipment. It is a very good investment!
