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 moonbound 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, Iow 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 a 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.
