Saving Time And Money Are Not The Only Reasons Why You Should Switch To A PureMagic Chemical Free System
Less toxic exposures:
Chlorine poses many risks that the copper ions do not, many of which are not obvious to the swimmer. Chlorine ions undergo reactions in the pool to form chemicals such as trihalomethanes (THM), which can enter the body through ingestion or skin absorption. Some studies have linked exposure to THM with cancer, organ damage, and other health problems. Currently there are no regulations for THM in swimming pools. In contrast, copper ions are chemically stable and do not undergo reactions to create more toxic chemicals. In addition, at the levels of exposure in a pool, they do not pose a risk to swimmers.
Preserve your pool:
Chlorine is a corrosive chemical that contributes heavily to the deterioration of pool linings, pipes and equipment. Humidity combines with chlorine fumes in indoor pool areas and infiltrates the concrete of the pool facility. It can actually rust the metal building supports and lead to the cracking and eventual rusting of the pool walls and equipment. Copper and silver ions are not as corrosive at the required levels as chlorine is, so switching will reduce the corrosion to your pool and pipes.
Reduced chemical use:
Privately owned pools and spas will not need any scheduled use of chlorine or other chemical sanitizers, but if you are a public facility and are legaly bound by your health department to use chlorine you should know that chlorine evaporates quickly from the water, and must constantly be replaced. Copper ions do not evaporate as quickly, staying present in the water for a much longer period of time, thus, reducing the amount that must be continually added, giving you much more protection.
The amount of chlorine use is drastically reduced by useing the PureMagic PM-S1 oxidation system while still keeping your pool or spa with-in the legal limits. Depending on the size pool and system installed your chlorine usage can be reduced as much as 90%.
Reduced irritation:
Chlorine is harsh on human skin, eyes and hair, causing rashes on some swimmers. In contrast, the copper ionization process along with oxidation are not irritating to eyes and skin like chlorine.
Worker safety:
Concentrated chlorine and acid can burn flesh and eyes. The fumes can be overwhelming and it is very flammable. On the other hand, the copper and C02 are almost negligent risk to worker health and safety. Unlike chlorine stores, they will not spill and do not pose an inhalation risk when opened.
