e-clear vs ionization
How does it sanitize the water?
| e-clear |
ionization |
E-clear produces powerful natural oxidizers through an advanced electrolysis of water (H2O) technology.
The e-clear natural oxidation technology is combined with a trace amount of copper ionization to provide 100% protection against waterborne pathogens.
Saturated levels of Oxygen and a small copper ion residual in the pool ensures there is an effective sanitizing residual in the pool at all times, even when the pumps are not running. This feature enables e-clear pools to operate 100% chlorine free.

Formed via electrolyses and 100% natural copper
and silver ions are highly effective algaecides
and biocides.
Positively charged copper ions eliminate micro-organisms
by binding to the negatively charged bacteria,
fungi and algae cell wall and blocking cellular
function.
Copper ionization provides a long lasting
sanitizing residual in the water.
Ionization requires an additional oxidizing
agent to break down organic matter, urine, etc.
in the water.

What sanitizing molecules/oxidizers
are produced?
| e-clear |
ionization |
Within a sealed chamber, the powerful oxidizers
OH-, O1-, H2O2 and O2 are generated via electrolysis from the
water (H2O) molecule itself.
Dissolved O2 remains in the water and is combined with
copper ions to provide a long-lasting, stable
and healthy sanitizing residual.
For some applications also combines UV.
|
Copper and silver ions.
Does not produce oxidizers.
|
Is it 100% chlorine free?
| e-clear |
ionization |
Yes, with a saturation level of dissolved O2 and a stable copper ion residual in the pool, e-clear provides an effective sanitizing and algaecidal activity without the need for chlorine.
|
No.
Since no oxidizers are produced, ionization
is combined with an oxidizer such as chlorine.
|
Is the sanitation harmful to the
swimmer?
| e-clear |
ionization |
No, e-clear is 100% non-toxic. It relies mainly on a natural oxygen technology and produces only a trace amount of copper ions.
Copper levels are carefully regulated to ensure levels remain within drinking water standards.
E-clear's powerful oxidizers are produced
in a sealed chamber away from the swimmer.
In the swimming pool water, dissolved Oxygen and Ionization
provide water that is sanitized yet healthy
and therapeutic, soft and gentle.
No corrosion, red eyes, dried out hair or skin.
|
No, as long as copper levels are maintained within drinking water standards.
Copper is an essential macro-nutrient and excellent
for skin and hair growth.
Copper is not absorbed via the skin so 100%
non-toxic.
|
Does it form disinfection
byproducts (DBPs)?
| e-clear |
ionization |
| No DBPs are formed. |
No DBPs are formed unless combined with chlorine.
|
Does it give off odours/gasses?
| e-clear |
ionization |
| No odours and no
gasses are generated
|
No odours and no gasses are
generated unless combined with chlorine. |
Is it eco-friendly
and water wise?
| e-clear |
ionization |
Yes.
Does not generate any persistant organic pollutants
(POPs)/ DBPs and no greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy efficient.
Water wise, since water is free from harmful
chemicals and pollutants swimming pools can
be back washed directly to irrigation.
|
Yes. As long as copper levels are maintained within drinking
water standards.
|
Does your pool pump
have to run 24/7?
| e-clear |
ionization |
No, pumps run for normal 8-10 hours in summer.
e-clear sanitizes the pool even when the e-clear
system and pumps are switched off.
|
No, pumps run for normal 8-10 hours in summer.
Copper provides a long lasting stable residual
in the water even when pumps are switched off.
|
How corrosive is
it?
| e-clear |
ionization |
Not corrosive.
Oxygen converts calcium in the water to a
soft bicarbonate form.
This results in water that is soft and gentle.
