THE ALTERNATIVE APPROACH
yield increases when organic pollution is introduced to pool water by bathers, unlike free chlorine which is depleted, providing a robust water treatment system. A compact HydroXan®
dosing station
can be installed and operated at a fraction of the cost and carbon footprint of UV systems, bringing advanced disinfection within the reach of any commercial pool or spa facility. HydroXan®
is safe to handle
and easy to dose using accurate equipment which requires no technical intervention by pool staff. A typical 25m community pool will require less than one litre of HydroXan®
per day.
CPC’S LUXURIOUS BATHING OPTIONS
The innovative Aquablanc range of chlorine- free pool and spa products is seeing a rapid growth in its popularity. Domestic pools and spas using Aquablanc, benefit from pure, gentle and safe water without the accompanying odours and sometimes harsher bathing conditions that are associated with traditional halogen (chlorine and bromine) based sanitisers. There are two easy-to-use options for swimming pools. Traditional Aquablanc Combi Tablets are based on a double tablet system, usually applied on a weekly basis to achieve safe, crystal clear water.
Aquablanc O2 Gentle is offered as a truly multifunctional twin sachet system. Based on active oxygen with a powerful liquid algaecide, the innovative formula also comprises scale prevention and pH buffers. This gentle approach to pool care is soft to the skin and eyes and convenient to dose, usually on a weekly basis. This really does offer the ultimate luxurious bathing environment.
Hot tubs and spas are well served also. Aquablanc Spa provides an easy to use, soft and gentle sanitising system for domestic hot tubs. Supplied as a comprehensive starter kit or individual products, the two Aquablanc spa components work in synergy for safe and gentle spa water.
Aquablanc as a system is very flexible, so can also be used in conjunction with regular balancing, oxidising and speciality products.
SUREX 002 OXYSURE™ NON CHLORINE ACTIVE OXYGEN The UK’s favourite chlorine alternative for hot tubs and spas, Surex OO2 Oxysure excels itself year by year and has become increasingly popular for spa showrooms and hot tub dealers.
Surex OO2 Oxysure is Active Oxygen and has no smell or no taste. It can be used in spas, hot tubs, above-ground pools, swimming pools and baths. Surex OO2 basically replaces the daily application of chlorine granules leaving
a clean, no smell, no taste, almost natural feeling water in the pool or spa. The product is ecologically friendly and suitable for those with asthma, ezcema and similiar complaints.
Surex OO2 Oxysure is a peroxygen, it liberates oxygen and is as powerful as any chlorine donor and more powerful than bromine. Surex OO2 Oxysure is the ultimate in swimming comfort . Additionally Surex OO2 Oxysure is more conductive to a safer ecology – no CFC’s are given off into the atmosphere and the compound cannot affect the environment when the pool water is backwashed down the drain, thus can be named ‘green friendly’.
Surex OO2 Oxysure cannot produce the wheezes associated with the use of chlorine in indoor applications and rashes often experienced with bromine. It is also far more gentle on the fabric of the pool, liners and ancillary equipment especially covers and pool cleaners. The compound has much less effect on the degradation of air conditioning systems than chlorine substances and gives a superior atmospheric environment.
HYDROCHLOR SALT WATER CHLORINATOR FROM WATERCO Ocean water has a salt content of around 35,000 parts per million (‘ppm’). Humans have a salt taste threshold of around 3,500 ppm. The Hydrochlor requires a salt content of 4,000 - 6,000 ppm. Swimming in a mild saline solution is like taking a shower
Hydrochlor from Waterco maintains a constant sanitiser level and water feels smooth and soft on the skin
in soft water. In a salt-water pool (one with Hydrochlor) water feels smooth, skin feels smooth and many people feel more refreshed.
The Hydrochlor will automatically maintain the chlorine level of the pool and eliminate problems associated with periods of very high or low chlorine levels.
Consistently maintained sanitiser levels in the pool water will prevent the growth of all common algae. A salt-water chlorinated pool requires less attention than a chlorine pool. Salt water feels better and is less irritating than standard chlorinated water. The Hydrochlor is plumbed directly in-line with the pool equipment, typically after the heater.
Hydrochlor consists of a power pack (to supply power to the cell) and a Salt Cell (where chlorine is produced). The Power Pack monitors and controls chlorine production by regulating the amount of electrical energy supplied to the salt cell. The Hydrochlor’s salt cell consists of a series of titanium electrodes with opposite charges. Hydrochlor’s clear salt cell housing allows visual inspection of the salt cell plates and enables monitoring of chlorine production. The cell housing is constructed using clear UV stabilised acrylic. Both anode and cathode of the self-clean chlorinator are made from uniquely coated titanium plates for extra durability.
Once a Hydrochlor is installed and the desirable salt level is achieved, salt needs only to be added occasionally to replace any water loss. A battery backup is incorporated to save the settings in the event of electrical power disruptions.
TOPLINE’S ULTRAVIOLET GENERATION
The Aquablanc range of chlorine free pool and spa treatments from CPC give users the ultimate experience in luxurious bathing
When discussing the alternatives to chlorination of a pool, ultraviolet generation (UV) is most likely to be suggested. It’s important to be clear that UV generation is not an alternative to chlorine. With ten years’ of experience in the manufacturing of low pressure UV, Topline Electronics, of Hailsham in the UK, are very well placed to explain the overall benefits of UV, but are quick to point out that UV is not a
