Floatron.es - The chlorine-free water purifier

When floating on the water, sunlight is converted into electricity by the advanced technology photovoltaic panel. This harmless, low power current energizes a specially alloyed mineral electrode below waterline, causing the release of mineral ions into the surrounding water. Ionized water, referred to as mineralized water, naturally and efficiently controls microorganism growth in your pool.

Some contaminants in your pool such as dust, suntan lotion, body fluids, etc. are not affected by minerals. An accumulation of these things will tend to cloud the water, therefore a small amount of chlorine or any other oxidizer, is necessary to dissolve them to maintain crystal clear conditions. Only small amounts are necessary. AN 80% REDUCTION IN CHLORINE / OXIDIZER REQUIREMENT IS TYPICAL. Other oxidizers may be substituted such as bromine, hydrogen peroxide or oxygen based compounds, which are readily available at most pool supply stores.

Swimmer's view of ionisation process

SAFE, EFFECTIVE AND ECONOMICAL

• Floatron is totally safe and nontoxic, with absolutely no electrical shock hazard. Swimming with the unit in the water is perfectly normal, and eliminates the irritations, odors, and bleaching associated with chlorine. floatron ionized water mineral levels fall within EPA established drinking water standards and avoids the toxicity of high chemical concentrations. Additionally, the water remains clear and stable for extended periods because the minerals do not evaporate out. Unlike chlorine, hot summer conditions do not degrade the performance of the mineral ions; in fact, the hotter it is the better it works!

• The floatron costs virtually nothing to power and operate. The only part requiring replacement is the sacrificial mineral electrode which will last approximately 1- 3 swimming seasons (depending on floating periods and pool size), and takes only a minute to change. Replacement cost is minimal.

The Floatron...

The Floatron is cheap; to purchase and operate. It pays itself off very soon. No running costs as it is powered by the sun and not more than 50€ every 1-3 seasons for the mineral electrode which is to be replaced.

• Compatible with salt pools.
• Considerably reduces (and even eliminates) the filtering hours needed with traitional chlorine pools.
