Solar
Ionization
Floatron
is the original portable water purifier combining solar electric
power generation with a process called ionization. This
process was first developed by NASA for use aboard moon-bound
Apollo spacecraft to maintain pure drinking water. By introducing
atomic amounts of specific minerals into water, microorganisms
such as algae and bacteria cannot survive. While these
ions, or atoms, are completely safe and non-toxic to you, microscopic
life forms cannot exist under their influence. Unlike
chlorine, which loses potency after only hours, the mineral
ions produced by the floatron remain effective for weeks.
How
Floatron
Works
When
floating on the water, sunlight is converted into electricity
by the advanced technology solar panel. This harmless,
low power current energizes a specially alloyed metallic electrode
below waterline. This causes the release of mineral ions
into the surrounding water. The ionized water now 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
is necessary to dissolve them to maintain crystal clear conditions.
Only small amounts are necessary. AN 80% REDUCTION
IN CHLORINE REQUIREMENT IS TYPICAL. If no chlorine at
all is preferred, other oxidizers may be substituted such as
bromine, or oxygen based compounds, which are readily available.
Safe, Effective, and Economical
Floatron
is totally safe and non-toxic, 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 falls within EPA established drinking water standards
and avoids the toxicity of high chemical levels. 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 ions.
In fact, the hotter it is, the better it works.
The
Floatron
costs nothing to power and operate. The only part requiring
replacement is the mineral electrode which will last approximately
1-2 years and takes only a minute to change. Replacement cost
is minimal.
Design
Excellence
Floatron
is built to last. Made in the USA under strict quality
controls. No moving parts. Constructed of space-age
polymers which are weather, water, sunlight, and chemical resistant.
The solar panel incorporates the most efficient photovoltaic
cells available. The mineral electrode is alloyed from
the special combination of ultra pure elemental metals.
Manufacturer's
Warranty
Every
Floatron
is backed by a 24 month coverage against defects in materials
and workmanship.
