Splashing good time
DOMESTIC and commercial pool owners now have a new sanitisation choice that’s great news for swimmers with allergies and asthma – or those who just want a real alternative to chlorine.
The Hydroxypure system, created by international swimming pool and water treatment equipment manufacturer Waterco Ltd, is chlorine- free and oxygen enriched, and it’s soft and gentle on the skin. Plus it’s the only sanitisation system to receive the seal of approval from the National Asthma Council Australia as part of its Sensitive Choice programme.
“The Hydroxypure system is a natural combination of hydrogen peroxide and ozone – and there is 50% more oxygen in a Hydroxypure pool than a normal chlorinated pool,” says inventor Nick Briscoe, who was inspired to come up with a chlorine- free pool to enable his youngest son Dalton, who suffers from eczema, to swim in the family’s pool.
“The Hydroxypure system is great news for those looking for an alternative solution to chlorine, as it’s salt- free, odourless, free of taste and you don’t need to shower after swimming.”
For pool owner Robert Chan and his five- year- old daughter Jordyn, who both suffer from moderate to severe eczema, the Hydroxypure system has meant they can once again enjoy swimming in their backyard pool.
Chan says, “We avoided swimming for years, because our eczema was triggered by chlorine. But since we’ve been trying the Hydroxypure system, we can now swim without our eczema flaring up. It takes the stress out of swimming. We can relax after getting out of the pool instead of going through the stressful process of trying to get a young child into the shower and covered in cream.”
Waterco has simplified advanced drinking water treatment technology and successfully applied it to treating swimming pool and spa water.
Hydroxypure sanitisation is based on the Advance Oxidation Process ( AOP), which combines Perox, a chlorine- free sanitiser ( H202), and hybrid ozone ( O3) to create one of the most powerful oxidisers in nature.
The AOP has the ability to remove bacterial threats more effectively than any other oxidisation process currently available on the market.
Perox is a formulated blend of hydrogen peroxide, which is simply water with an extra oxygen molecule, and this has been developed to work in unison with the Hydroxypure system to ensure perfectly sanitised water at all times.
Hydrogen peroxide is formed in nature to control bacteria that grows all around us.
For example, during a lightning storm, hydrogen peroxide is created to combine with rain and naturally cleanse the environment.
“For many years, hydrogen peroxide has been widely used in health treatments, from mouthwashes to antiseptic cleaner and antifungal treatments,” explains Briscoe.
“In fact, health practitioners all over the world regard hydrogen peroxide therapy as one of the greatest.”
The use of ozone and Perox in harmony increases active oxygen levels in the water. This synergy ensures the safety of the water environment without creating harmful chemical by- products.
Hydroxypure’s hybrid ozone technology stimulates the action of the sun by converting ambient air into ozone – free from impurities.
The result is a safe, clean and effective way of using the extra oxygen molecules to keep swimming pools and spas properly sanitised.
Fully automated sanitisation
The Hydroxypure system, which can be installed in new swimming pools or retrofitted to salt or chlorinated pools, continually sanitises a pool by testing the water and automatically maintaining optimum levels of residual sanitiser.
Furthermore, it cleverly responds to different demands such as pool parties, hot water, plus rain and water top- ups. In fact, the Hydroxypure system automatically adjusts dosing requirements to suit.
