The History of Ionization
The wisdom of the ancients meets space-age technology.
The Clearwater Pool Purifier utilizes technology that has been around for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks discovered the sanitizing powers of copper.
The Greeks
The ancient Greeks were the first to discover the sanitizing power of copper.
The Egyptians
The Egyptians kept their water in silver containers to prevent contamination
The Early Amercian Pioneers
Early American pioneers moving west across the continent put copper and silver coins in large wooden water casks to provide them with safe drinking water on their long voyage. When the wagons rolled, the agitation caused the coins to discharge ions (an electrically charged particle) in the water. The copper ions killed algae and the silver ions killed bacteria and viruses.
Ionized Wishing Wells?
Have you ever noticed how clear the water is in a wishing well or pond? All those coins you throw in there for "good luck" are solely responsible for the clarity of the water. There is no chlorine or other sanitizers in the water. Those coins are producing copper and silver ions (killing algae and bacteria) and leaving the water sparkling clear. Now the same principle can be applied to pools -- and you don't have to throw any coins in your pool!
NASA capitalized on this early knowledge and used an ionization system on the Apollo flights to supply pure drinking water for the crew.
