You have nothing to lose but the hassle and cost of chemicals...
and No Installation!!

Floatron logo is the original portable water purifier combining solar electric power generation with a process called ionization. Water purification by ionization has been practised for thousands of years. By storing water in copper and silver containers ancient Romans kept their water fresh and clear and free from algae and bacteria. However donīt start placing copper and silver pieces just yet into your pool as it would take a very long time to attain a concentration of ions which would be effective in cleaning the water.
The concept of ionizing was used by NASA for use abroard moonbound Apollo spaceraft, to obtain bacteria free, pure drinking water. Microscopic life forms cannot co-exist with the ions.
When the Floatron logo floats on the water, a safe low voltage, electricity supplied by the solar panels, is applied to the silver/copper electrodes. The silver ions disrupt the enzyme balance of bacteria and virus, while the copper ions disrupt the enzyme balance of algae.

1. What is wrong with chlorine?
Chlorine, although it can be effective, evaporates out of the water very quickly and requires a constan replenishment to maintain a protective concentration. During hot weather you cannot leave your pool alone for more than a week.
Chlorine requires constant monitoring and handling.
Further more chlorine is a suspected cacinogen and has been determined by the American Public Healt Association as "to pose public health risks involved in the work place, consumer products and the general enviroment". Of course chlorinealso causes, especially in children, nose, throat and ear problems. In addition it bleaches and colours hair, towels and furniture. Last but not least chlorine is quite expensive and it damages pool equipment and piping.

Floatron logo on the other hand is safe for the enviroment, clear and pays for itself over and over again for as long as you have your swimming pool.

2. How long does a Floatron logo last?
THE
Floatron logo IS BUILT TO LAST
Made in the USA under strick quality controls. Constructed of space age polymers which are weather, sunlight, water and chemical resistant. The solar panel incorporates the most effecient photovoltaic cells available. The mineral electrode is alloyed from a special combination of ultra pure elemental metals. The Floatron logo lasts as long as your pool. The only item that needs simple and inexpensive replacement is the copper/silver coil. Generally these lasts from 18 to 24 months.

One Floatron logo is more than enough to clean up to 150,000 liters of water!
Floatron logo is totally safe and non toxic. Once water has been ionized by the Floatron logo the water falls within the American Enviromental Protection Agencies conditions for drinking water! Additionally, the water remains clear and stable for extended periods because the minerals, like salt in the sea, do not evaporate out.

3. Why arenīt there Floatron logoīs in every pool store?
The Floatron logo is a finely tuned, hight tech, device which introduces ions slowly and steadily into the water. It takes about two weeks before the ions in the water become Really effective. The Floatron logo in technically superior to any other ionizer in the world, all of which generate large amounts of mineral ions in a short period of time. Not only are those expensive units overpowered and bulky, they also require professional installation and servicing. Additionally, complex electronic controllers can add to their unrealibility and cost. As ionizers reduce chlorine and chemical sales, if an ionizer is recommended at all, it usually is a very costly system that requires a service contract to operate.

4. How does the smfloatrontrans.gif (489 bytes) compare to other ionizers?
The
smfloatrontrans.gif (489 bytes) is a finely tuned device which introduces ions slowly and steadly into the water. This constant trickle allows to accept and react completely with the minerals. This is technically superior to any other ionizer in the world, all of which generate large amounts of minerals ions in a short period of time. Not only are these expensive units overpowered and bulky, they require professional installation and servicing. Additionally, complex electronic controllers can add to their unreliability and cost. Compactness, no installation and portability are unique to smfloatrontrans.gif (489 bytes)

5. Will other chemicals such as algaecides, clarifiers, stabilizer,etc. be necessary? Also will shock treatment be required?
No other chemicals are needed and your pool will not need to be "shocked."   No extra chemicals to close your pool, either. The
smfloatrontrans.gif (489 bytes) works best with trace chlorine only. The pH becomes very stable also.

 On May 3, 1992 The Florida Solar Energy Center at Cape Canaveral,
Florida USA, began the evaluation of the Floatron. The report said:

" As a result of our one year evaluation we are able to conclude that the Floatron device is very effective at reducing the amount of chemicals required to maintain an algae and bacteria free swimming pool. The Floatron device also reduces calcium hardness levels by precipitating the calcium to the coil electrode."

The Floatron logo device is an effective way to reduce chemical use and eliminate algae and bacteria while maintaning superior water chemistry."

The Floatron is simply the least expensive, most effective
ionizer available in the world.
