The ECOsmarte® Advantage!

Chlorine or Bromine Chemicals

Chlorine, for now, is the most popular means of sanitizing swimming pool water. It does an excellent job sanitizing water, but it does so at a huge price.

Chlorine is a very caustic, corrosive chemical. It is effective because it attacks anything organic. Unfortunately, it also attacks the skin, hair, and eyes of the humans swimming in it.

Chlorine is toxic and hazardous to handle, ingest or breathe. It is also dangerous to store. Chlorine can be extremely flammable. Chloramines, a by-product of chlorine and organic waste, are known carcinogens. Unfortunately there is no practical way of preventing chloramines from forming in chlorinated swimming pools.

Maintaining chlorine levels at minimal acceptable levels can be very difficult to do at times. Residual chlorine is highly affected by the water temperature, rain, pH, and number of swimmers. Chlorine is absorbed in the skin of swimmers and therefore the more people that swim in the pool, the more chlorine is absorbed by their skin and the more chlorine that needs to be added to the pool water to properly sanitize the water.

Mineral or Catalytic Cartridge System

Mineral cartridge systems are sold under the following trademarked names: Nature2, Vision, and FROG. These products kill contaminants, primarily bacteria, in the water as it passes through a cartridge. This means the pump and filter must run for long periods of time to treat the tens of thousands of gallons of water in a swimming pool. Pool suppliers, who sell these systems, often recommend that you run your pump and filter 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

While, these systems do reduce the need for chlorine or other chemical oxidizing treatment, they do not eliminate the need for these chemicals.

These systems also require a trip to the pool store to purchase expensive cartridges. In some cases more than one cartridge may be needed in one season. There is no obvious way to determine when these cartridges fail to be effective. Their effectiveness may expire prior to the cartridge contents being totally depleted.

Ozone Generators

Ozone generators use a special ultra-violet light to kill bacteria. Like the cartridge systems mentioned above, ozone generators only kill contaminants in the ozone chamber and provide no residual protection to the water in the pool. To be effective, the pool pump must run almost all of the time.

Ozone units designed for swimming pools are very expensive and draw a lot of electric current. These units are better suited for spas but are not practical for the volume of water in most swimming pools.

Even the best ozone units do not totally eliminate the need for chlorine or other chemical oxidizing agents in the pool water.

Salt or Brine Chlorine Generators

Salt generators basically produce chlorine from salt. While salt generators require that you purchase salt instead of chlorine, you are still swimming in chlorine and you will experience all of the problems you will experience swimming in a chlorine pool. Salt generators are expensive devices and consume a lot of electrical current. Salt generators are also very corrosive and the generator chamber has a limited life and is expensive to replace.

Why ECOsmarte is preferred by Pool Owners over Salt-to-Chlorine Systems

  • Swimmers prefer the feel and taste of water treated with the ECOsmarte system over water treated with salt-to-chlorine generators by an overwhelming margin.
  • Since salt-to-chlorine systems produce chlorine, the sanitizing effectiveness of the system is impacted by changes in temperature, bather load, sunlight and rainfall. Changes in any of these factors may require additional “shocking” of the water to prevent an algae outbreak. ECOsmarte’s effectiveness is not significantly affected by these factors. An ECOsmarte owner does not have to be concerned about doing anything different to treat their pool if they have 20 kids in the pool all day. The pool water will still provide bacterial and algae protection for a full week or more.
  • Vinyl liners, automated pool covers and solar covers may become damaged from the use of chlorine or salt-to-chlorine generators. Since the ECOsmarte system does not require the use of harmful oxidizing chemicals, these expensive pool components can be expected to last their normal life expectancy.
  • ECOsmarte systems work within a calcium hardness range of 300-2,000 ppm. Because it converts calcium to bicarbonate, the ECOsmarte will eliminate and prevent calcium scaling on pool walls and rock features. Salt-to-chlorine generators do not control calcium scaling and will only work within a calcium range of 200-400 ppm.
  • Salt-to-chlorine generators will use an average of 500 watts of AC power for a 20,000 gallon pool. ECOsmarte systems will use an average of only 40 watts of DC power to treat the same amount of water.
  • Salt-to-chlorine generators and the ECOsmarte system both use a chamber in their process. The difference is that a salt-to-chlorine generator cell may need to be replaced in 2-5 years at a cost of over $400. The copper bars in the ECOsmarte chamber cost around $100 to replace and should last 3-5 years. The ECOsmarte chamber is warranted for 5 years and should last indefinitely.
  • The backwash discharge from an ECOsmarte treated pool is safe for use on lawns and in gardens since it does not contain any salt or sodium. Backwash from pools treated with salt-to-chlorine generators can kill plant life, sterilize soil preventing plant growth and is prohibited in many municipalities in the United States and Australia (where salt-to-chlorine systems were invented).
  • ECOsmarte offers six days per week of toll-free support at 1-800-ION SWIM to consumers, dealers and service personnel. No such support is available by any manufacturer of salt-to-chlorine generators being sold in the United States.

Filtration

We Care about your Health - We Care about your Filtration System.
Below are the three types of filtration systems on the market today. If you do not have a Glass Media Filter from ECOsmarte you have one of the three. Cartridge | Diatomaceous Earth | Sand Filters

Cartridge Filters:

(Most common yet least effective filtration system) Cartridge filters are the least efficient and end up costing more in the long run than other filters. Because even the best cartridge system will only filter out 20-100 microns, we suggest that you do not use this type of filtration system. It simply will not remove particles smaller than 20 microns. Most dead organic material such as Bacteria, viruses, blood cells, algae are less than 9 microns in size. Why would anyone use a filtration system that lets this dead organic material pass through? Owners of Chlorine pools may choose this type of filter unaware of its inadequacy because it is cheap. The cartridge filter element, an aquatic version of the pleated air cleaner in your car, traps dirt and particles of 20-100 microns in size. The cartridge is removed from the tank and hosed thoroughly, top to bottom, with a high pressure hose to remove dirt when the pressure gauge rises 8-10 lbs. above its initial clean reading. Each time the filter is cleaned, some of its filtering ability is reduced. The cartridge should be replaced every 12-18 months, depending on its workload. An undersized filter with algae and tree debris may last only 6 -12 months. Fortunately, ECOsmarte® offers the busy, health-conscious pool owner an INEXPENSIVE and invigorating option with Glass Media™ Replacement Filter Media for Sand Filters. [Details on the ECOsmarte Glass Media solution].

Diatomaceous Earth:

(The most EXPENSIVE system): DE filters work great but they are high maintenance and waste media. (DE) filters: The DE filter was the most efficient type of pool filter on the market despite the expense. It can trap particles down to 5-7 microns; well below what the naked eye can see. There is a pressure gauge that will indicate when you need backwashing. After backwashing a DE filter, a new application of DE filter powder is added to the filter by pouring into the skimmer. An annual or semi-annual breakdown of the filter is necessary to thoroughly clean DE filter grids.

A DE filter requires that the operator (you) add DE powder to coat the filter grids inside of the filter tank. The powder, which is added at your skimmer, dissolves in the pipe on its way to the filter tank. When it reaches the fabric covered grids, the powder stops, thus coating the grid. The water continues to pass through, first through the powder, then the fabric covered grid. As the water passes through the DE and enters the grid it leaves the dirt, trapped in the DE powder “cake” or coating.

The DE powder is what filters your pool water in a DE filter. Eventually the flow rate will allow the water quality to suffer. You will need to backwash the filter to remove the DE that is clogged with the dirt. After backwashing thoroughly, add new DE powder to the filter through the skimmer. ECOsmarte® offers a better solution with Glass Media™ Replacement Filter Media for Sand Filters. The Pool owner no longer needs to replace expensive media with every backwash – Glass Media can last over 10 years without replacement. [Details on the ECOsmarte Glass Media solution].

Sand Filters:

(A better alternative to DE when we add our GLASS MEDIA (no sand): THIS is the filtration product that we suggest!
Normal sand filters (without Glass Media) will only remove particles down to 20-100 microns (similar to a cartridge filter). Normal Filtration with Sand will not remove the dead organic material which are much smaller (under 9 microns and well below sand's filtration capability) and can pass right through the sand and back into your pool. Combine your sand filter with ECOsmarte Glass Media to achieve the ultimate filtration (3-5 microns), best media life (9 years), and the lowest maintenance requirement (backwashes less and requires no re-bed for 9 years)

We suggest you Keep your Existing Sand Filter or Buy a New Inexpensive Sand Filter, but instead of using sand, use ECOsmarte’s GLASS MEDIA.

The ECOsmarte® Advantage!

~Save $1000's Over The Life Of Your Pool...The System Pays For Itself.

ECOsmarte® offers the only method that can sanitize your pool without chemicals. Our system costs less than $1 per month to operate, not to mention electrical savings from reduced filtration time. Once you install our 100% Chlorine-Free system, you will have major savings by eliminating chemical expenses. The ECOsmarte® system requires no chemicals to sanitize your pool. You will also save countless hours every season since there is no need to buy, store and add chemicals to your pool.

~Crystal Clear, Ultrapure Water

The look and feel of pool and spa water treated using the ECOsmarte® system is uncomparably soft, clear and feels so refreshing. After experiencing the ECOsmarte difference you will wonder why every pool isn't installed with the ECOsmarte® system. You will never be able to go back to a chemical or salt system again. There are many reasons to convert to the ECOsmarte® system, but none are nearly as important as providing your family and friends with the opportunity to enjoy your pool without having to be exposed to health hazards associated with chlorine and some of the other chlorine alternatives.

~No Other System Can Duplicate ECOsmarte® Proprietary Technology.

ECOsmarte® ionization and oxidation is superior to chemical or salt treatment; Copper does not dissipate as Chlorine does and is more effective in killing bacteria, molds, virus' and other bugs. Additionally, oxidation is required to eliminate the organics in the water (skin, air debris, etc..). ECOsmarte® offers the complete technology with Ionic and Oxidation Purification, a two stage process: first the catadyne process that is similar to ionization and second, the ECOsmarte® anodyne process with chemical-free oxidation. Water balance is much easier to maintain, staining is eliminated and no chemicals are needed for disinfection. ECOsmarte® is able to accomplish electronic oxidation through the use of proprietary titanium electrodes, requiring no halogen supplement.

There are many pool sanitation and purification products on the market. Many use some type of hazardous chemical such as chlorine, some use ionization only, some use minerals and some use ozonators, but none can provide all of the advantages of the ECOsmarte® pool system. WE HAVE A UNIQUE PROPRIETARY IONIZATION/SOFT OXIDATION DUAL PROCESS. Don't take our word for it. Look at many of the hundreds of worldwide testimonials we have received from satisfied customers
