Floatron in Spain for Swimming pools & Hot Tubs
The idea behind the floatron concept is to simply combine
solar electricity which is of course at low voltage to
provide natural power with the process which creates no
harmful by products during the ionization purification
process.
What is ionization?
An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained
one or more electrons. An atom which has lost electrons
acquires a positive charge and is known as a cation; an
atom which has gained electrons has a negative charge and
is called an anion. The process is called ionisation. Well
I am sure we all know what that means.
The Floatron unit performs as a free-floating device with
an advanced-alloy ultra pure ionizing electrode that
suspends below the waterline. We have reports of many
people using the Floatron even when they have a pool cover.
As sunlight is converted into electricity by the small
light weight photovoltaic panel, the harmless low power
current energizes an electrode, causing the release of
mineral ions into the swimming pool’s surrounding water.
During an oxidation reaction, organic molecules are changed
and dissolved metals are made no longer soluble.
Interesting is it not that these processes were used at
least as long ago as the Romans who put silver and copper
coins in their water barrels to keep the water fresh. In
America back in the days of the Wild West the wagon trains
would keep silver and copper coins in their drinking water
barrels to help purify the water. Even in British Naval
History as Lord Nelsons ships of the line also put coins
into water barrels to keep drinking water fresh.
The ionized water, referred to as mineralized water,
safely, naturally, and efficiently eliminates growth of
micro-organisms.
Nearly all North American & UK clients who have purchased
floatron have had covers on their pools their feedback has
been very positive with floatron=AE working well with the
majority of covers cover that float directly on the water.
There are two main choices firstly to open the cover enough
to float the unit, or cut a 3 inch (~7cm) “X” into the
cover which allows the electrodes to remain in the water
while the sunlight receptor is exposed to the sun.
Chlorine, tends to lose its potency within hours of its
application, also during hot summer conditions it usually
experiences a rapid and substantial loss of its performance
due to evaporation.
Unlike chlorine, mineral ions produced by the floatron do
not evaporate into the ether and in deed these Ions and the
Floatron become more effective during hot summer
conditions. It is an acknowledged fact that in warmer or
hotter outdoor temperatures Ionization process is greatly
enhanced.
The use of Floatron is not restricted to Swimming pools
they can be used in Hot Tubs also.
