Residential pool and spa systems

Picture
TechnoPure is a multi-patented technology and process for the non-chemical oxidation, sanitation, and conditioning of water. The technology involves the introduction of a low voltage DC current into a stream of water. The water is oxidized utilizing titanium electrodes plated with a proprietary coating, and ionized utilizing lead-free naval brass electrodes. The copper and zinc ions deposited into the water provide both point of entry and residual sanitation. In most applications, a filter is utilized to remove precipitated metals, minerals, and dead organics.

The unique feature of TechnoPure's technology is both the oxidizing and ionizing of the water. This combination of technologies is symbiotic. In many applications where oxidation and disinfection is needed, it is the best technology when considering operational costs, resource reduction, and environmental impact. In other applications, it is the only technology that is effective due to its efficacy over a wide range of water pH and dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations.

TechnoPure FeaturesThe oxidation provided by the TechnoPure titanium plates causes a shift of the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the water. The oxidizing of the water provides disinfection and aides in the precipitation of dissolved minerals in the water.

The ionization provided by the TechnoPure naval brass plates also provides disinfection and aides in the precipitation of dissolved minerals in the water.

Bacteria are killed both by being oxidized and by being in the presence of metal ions such as copper. The combination of both oxidation and copper ionization is very effective at killing the bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms. The residual effect of the copper ions in the water eliminates future microorganism growth, thus ensuring effective biological control over long periods of system inactivity.

Most scale is caused by calcium and magnesium with carbonates. Calcite (calcium carbonate) is the most common scale. Calcite can precipitate out of the water when its concentration is greater than its solubility product. Precipitation will occur when the solubility product reaches that of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC).

However, the solubility product of a compound is equal to the activity coefficients of all of the components in the water times their concentrations. When total ionic strengths increase (by other compounds) the activity coefficients will decrease. Thus, in precipitation chemistry mode, the higher saturation levels of all of the metal ions will tend to discourage the formation of calcite.

In addition, the solubility product of compounds with several metal ions is lower than that of pure calcite. The introduction of the copper and zinc ions provides those ions needed in the precipitation of compounds with lower solubility products.

 TechnoPure technology provides the following benefits:

  • Microorganism control with residual effect
  • Water economizing
  • Significant chemical reduction
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Increased operation safety (no hazardous chemicals)
  • Lower operating costs than competitive technology
Swimming Pool

Pool resurfacing is a significant long-term cost of pool maintenance. The longevity of a pool surface is dependent upon a number of factors including climate, water balance (calcium hardness, total alkalinity, pH, temperature) and most importantly, chemical use. Even though we can't do anything about the climate, we do control the other two.

Both out-of-balance water and poor use of traditional chemical systems eat away at pool surfaces, causing accelerated deterioration and ultimately surface mottling, pitting, and crumbling.

Our combination of technology and support are designed to assure that you extend the life of pool surfaces, regardless of the type (plaster or fiberglass; we recommend fiberglass as the more durable choice), while reducing maintenance and maintaining crystal clear water at the same time.

With our technology:
  • You use less chemicals - no shocking, no algaecides, no water clarifiers, and less chlorine to maintain a legal residual
  • The water is never overdosed with chemicals
  • The water stays in balance more naturally
  • Algae will not penetrate the surfaces
  • Minerals do not form scale
Our support includes:
  • Initial inspection of the pool, equipment, and source water
  • Water balancing
  • Educating the maintenance personnel on how to keep a perfect pool
  • Monitoring readings to keep the water balanced
The cost of resurfacing a pool varies greatly, but since we can easily double the life of the surface, a savings of $1,000 per year is not uncommon. With this added to the savings in chemical use and maintenance time, the average payback drops to approximately 6 months.

Our Residential customers enjoy 100% chlorine-free water. We offer our residential customers the same Hybrid technologies that we use for our commercial systems, except there is NO CHLORINE NEEDED AT ALL.

TechnoPure's controller will be able to remotely monitor and adjust the following;

  1. Chlorine levels through ORP (Oxygen Reduction Potential) sensors. Allows us to monitor not just the amount of chlorine in the pools but also how efficiently the chlorine is cleaning the water.
  2. PH levels through our pH sensors. Enables us to keep your ph at optimum levels at all times ensuring that your bathers will always experience completely neutral buffered water. This will protect the bathers suits, eyes and skin and your pool equipment.
  3. Temperature through remote temperature sensors , allows us to turn the spas down at night and automatically have them rise to their preset temperatures prior to any guest showing up. This also allows you to see any problem with the heaters prior to the call from your guests that one of your pools is cold.
  4. Ionization levels through our copper / zinc chambers. The ionization of the water allows us to significantly reduce the amount of chlorine that your bathers are exposed to, typically 50-90 % less chlorine is needed to maintain the same PPM (parts per million) chlorine residual. The Ionization is the primary sanitation and the chlorine is there only as a backup. The ionization process is also responsible for the softening effect on the water that is commonly referred to by our clients as "swimming in silk". This leaves your guest's skin soft to the touch and youthful looking.
  5. Oxidation levels through our platinum coated titanium Chambers. The oxidation process manipulates the water molecule itself and constantly shocks the water with natural oxygen. The oxidation process aids the ionization in the nature hybrid conditioning effect that allows us to use reduced amounts of chlorine while providing your customers with the safest purest and most luxurious water available.
  6. Automated alarms. Should your water fall out of safe parameters All the above functions will be set with automated alarms that will notify your technicians or our call center immediately, enabling your on site staff to rectify the situation prior to your guests even noticing a problem. This will assure that your guest are always protected and you facility is protected against unnecessary litigation.
