• Safe swimming water for all!

Chlorine Free• Have you ever imagined what it would be like to swim in a chemical

free pool? Do chlorine free pools sound to good to be true? Can you imagine not spending all that money on chlorine, algaecides, stabilizer and salt?

• A Pꝏl Pride System is one of the greatest pleasures you will experience.

• Chlorine free, chemical free pools do indeed exist and have been around for many years. Now more than ever, chlorine free pools are a highly coveted technology due to the growing concerns of chlorine being absorbed through the skin and having a direct link to cancer.

1. Ozone injected into the pump

Sanitizing water

2. Ozone turns to Oxygen in the

Filter eliminating oils, viruses and more then the

oxygen is extracted

3. UV Radiation @ 254 nm Sanitation. Killing viruses and

bacteria.

4. Copper & Silver Ionization injected into return water. Killing viruses and

bacteria.

5. Oxygen injected from filter and returns to pool.

The Cycle of a Chlorine Free System

Generations 1 & 2

• In 2006 3 different companies products had to be used to create a chlorine free pool only it used Copper Ionization, UV, & Ozone. 3 different units 3 different controllers, no silver

2012 our 1st Pool Pride all in 1 unit. These units were pulled out and upgraded to Pool Pride 2nd version in 2013

Generations 3 & 4The 2nd Pool Pride Unit Generation 3 now with copper and silver just needed 2 changes, a controller and to be more compact. These have been upgraded to Generation 4 in 2014

Intro• Pꝏl Pride uses both UV at 254nm and 185nm. 1st the water is exposed to Ozone.

Ozone is created at 185nm this provides an economical way of treating water a 99.99% reduction in bacteria and viruses. Ozone eliminates chloramines, oils, greases, lotions, viruses, bacteria. Step 2 the water flows to the filter, the ozone turns into oxygen and is extracted, to be injected down stream after the heater or cleaner. The water is now heavily oxidized. Any possible virus or bacteria that makes it past the filter still has another chance to be killed as the water flows through the Pool Pride and is exposed to the UV at 254nm and now has Copper & Silver ions added to the water to protect the pool shell from algae, viruses and bacteria growth. Swimming in minerals can be very healthy, as copper is known to increase red and white blood cells allowing the body to create more oxygen. Silver is a natural sanitizer not only NASA has been using it in the space program but doctors have been using in newborn babies' eyes at birth to prevent contraction of gonorrhea. Dentists sometimes use silver nitrate infused swabs to healoral ulcers. Silver nitrate is also used by some podiatrists to kill cells located in the nail bed. Silver nitrate is also used to cauterize superficial blood vessels in the nose to help prevent nose bleeds. These are just a few of the benefits.

Who can swim

• Everyone! A pool system for all to swim• Eczema? No problem• Asthma? No problem• Any medical condition where you can’t swim

in chlorine? No problem

Key Benifits

• Effectively kills algae and water born pathogens. • Sanitizes pools without the use of chlorine. • More cost effective than other treatment methods• Generally pays for itself in less than 2 years. • Relief for individuals suffering from a chlorine allergy• Peace of mind owning a healthy chemical free/

chlorine free pool• Will treat up to a 40,000 gallon pool(Testing is

underway on pools up to 250,0000 gallons)

Chlorine Disadvantages• The use of chlorine for water disinfection in swimming

pools is to be enjoyed with great caution: Due to the reaction of chlorine with organic and inorganic compounds, by-products form such as chloramines and THM (trihalomethane). Chloramines bring about the typical chlorine smell as well as skin and eye irritation. THM can be taken in through the skin or the lungs and is considered as a trigger for cancer or asthma illnesses. In addition, some parasites such as cryptosporidium and Guardia are already very resistant to this chemical disinfection technique.

UV / Ozone / Ionization• Swimming pools are not only a popular place for

adults and children but - viruses, bacteria, mold spores, algae and dangerous legionella also feel at home there. The Pool Pride technologies are made for eliminating these unloved bathers. Also: UV light and Ozone can significantly reduce the addition of chlorine (30 - 80 %)when used separately or make it unnecessary when used together with natural minerals - a decisive advantage for the attractiveness of any private or public swimming pool.

Eliminate Legionella

• Even the dangerous and extremely resistant legionella bacterium can only be fought with high doses of chlorine. The side effects caused by chlorine is also increase accordingly. Legionella crops up where heated, stagnant water offers optimal conditions for them to multiply – so potentially in every swimming pool. Legionella is spread through breathing water droplets.

UV Eliminates Cryptosporidium • “Crypto is highly resistant to chlorine and can linger in a pool for up to 10 days”• (refer to Inactivation time for human disease – causing microbes in chlorinated

water. www.cdc.gov/healthyswimming )• Unfortunately Recreational Water Illness (RWI) is dramatically increasing.

Research has also shown that halogen disinfection creates hazardous by-products (DBP’s). These DBP’s include chloramines, THM, HAA, and other contaminates that are recognized to have serious negative health effects. It is also established that certain pathogens are resistant to chlorine, thus leading to various diseases including respiratory, skin and gastrointestinal problems. Awareness and concern about exposure to DBP’s in pool and spas is increasing at an alarming rate. Health officials have acknowledged that the increase of RWI and negative health effects associated to DBP’s necessitates a paradigm shift in our thinking about how we treat pool and spa water.

UV Eliminates E.coli Virus• A study of public pools done during 2013’s summer swim season found that feces

are frequently introduced into pool water by swimmers. Through the study, released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers found germs in samples of pool filter water collected from public pools.

• CDC collected samples of water from pool filters from public pools and tested the samples for genetic material (for example, DNA) of multiple microbes. The study found that 58 percent of the pool filter samples tested were positive for E. coli, bacteria normally found in the human gut and feces. The E. coli is a marker for fecal contamination.

• Finding a high percentage of E. coli-positive filters indicates swimmers frequently contaminate pool water when they have a fecal incident in the water or when feces rinse off of their bodies because they do not shower thoroughly before getting into the water. No samples tested positive for E. coli O157:H7, a toxin-producing E. coli strain that causes illness.

Ultraviolet light disinfects without chemicals

• Disinfection with UV light works better: Microorganisms are inactivated by a photochemical reaction between the UV-C radiation and the genetic information carrier (DNA) of the pathogen within milliseconds. The pathogen cannot multiply any longer and dies.

• Service firms love the UV systems because they provide water quality that cannot be matched by anyone using large doses of chlorine to sanitize a swimming pool. Common sense would tell a person that if a pool is serviced once or twice a week, more chlorine than is needed must be added at the time of service so there is a sufficient chlorine residual prior to the next chlorine dosage. With the a UV System, with the reduced dependence on chlorine and with a continual flow of sanitized water back to the pool, there will be a sanitization level not possible by the periodic addition of chlorine alone. The pool owner, their family members and the pool service firm will be comfortable in knowing that the pool will be in its best operating condition when the service people arrive to do their normal service chores. Simply put, ” We do it better ” (SM)

• UV Light disinfections are environmentally friendly, add nothing to the water, and don’t generate harmful DBP’s. It destroy bacteria, virus, algae, cryptosporidium, giardia,…, in seconds without leaving any harmful end products.

• Simple to use and does not modify the physical-chemical characteristics (change in taste, smell) of the water.

• There is no risk of over-dosing.• UV may be combined with other treatment processes (filtration, softening etc.)

UV eliminates Chloramines

• Since this is a purely physical technique, the pathogen types can also not become resistant to the UV-radiation. And neither the natural taste nor the odor of the water is impaired by the UV-radiation. Moreover, ultraviolet light leads to an effective destruction of chloramines, and the typical chlorine smell is reduced significantly.

Ozone oxidizes pollutants

• The very reactive ozone gas has been successfully used for more than 30 years in the treatment of swimming pool water. As the strongest, technically producible oxidizing agent it is outstandingly suited for disinfection (removal of viruses and bacteria) as well as for the oxidation of organic pollutants. Residues of soap, sweat, body creams and oils are also effectively destroyed with ozone. Ozone is 25 times stronger than Chlorine.

Ozone

• Thanks to the environmentally friendly way in which it works, it is used as a primary disinfectant in many swimming pools as a chlorine substitute, since it disintegrates into oxygen during reaction and forms significantly fewer by-products

UV and ozone - the ideal couple

• In practice, UV technology and ozone oxidation prove to be an ideal couple. If UV-radiation is used as a primary disinfectant, the Ozone oxidizing ensures the destruction of organic pollutants and residue in the water.

• However this leaves no protection in the water for pool shell or swimmers.

• Chlorine, Bromine or Minerals must be used to protect swimmers and pool shell.

FREE SYSTEM• The P l ꝏ Pride System technologies How Does It WorkSILVER has long been known as a bacterial killer and used extensively by the medical profession before the introduction of antibiotics, and COPPER is recognized as one of the best algaecide killers known to man.NASA designed an ionization system for their Apollo flights, using copper silver electrodes to purify their water. The Pꝏl Pride System uses the same technique to kill the bacteria and algae found in swimming pools.Safe controllable low voltage DC current is transmitted from the Pool Pride Controller to special anodes fitted in the water chamber where electrolysis takes place, causing solutions of Copper, Silver to form in the water. These are called ions (atoms), hence the name “Ionic Purifiers”. These ions are positively charged (+) and are created in billions each second. All bacteria, viruses, algae and fungi spores are negatively charged (-) therefore the ions are attracted to the cells of contaminants, the copper ion damages the cell wall killing most and allowing the silver ion to then penetrate and destroy the cell. Copper and Silver ions are not effected by UV or Ozone.Copper and Silver ions are pH neutral, non-corrosive and have no effect on the human body in low concentration used to treat the water.The system is not affected by heat or light, and provides much longer residuals than chemical or UV treatment. Chlorine, bromine, hydrogen peroxide will dissipate in a matter of 2 to 4 hours, UV and Ozone will eliminate all three of these chemicals. Bromine however will regenerate once the ozone turns back into oxygen.

Bromine and Ozone (O₃)

• The P l Pride Bromine System eliminates all the Ꝏconcerns of using chlorine and you still have a chemical sanitizer in the water. Bromine is not protected from UV nor ozone but when Ozone (O₃)surrenders it’s third oxygen ion and returns to pure oxygen (O₂) it rejuvenates the bromine giving you an additional sanitizer it the pool. Pools with heavy foliage should consider adding bromine 1” tabs 12 tabs per 10,000 gallons of water to eliminate organic stains every 12 – 18 months.

Mineral BenefitsThe health benefits of copper include proper growth of the body, efficient utilization of iron, proper enzymatic reactions, as well as improved health of connective tissues, hair, and eyes. Copper is also integral for preventing premature aging and increasing energy production. Apart from these, regulated heart rhythm, balanced thyroid glands, reduced symptoms of arthritis, quick wound healing, increased red blood cell formation, and reduced cholesterol are other health benefits of copper.The health benefits of copper are crucial for an overall healthy existence, as this mineral enables normal metabolic process in association with amino acids and vitamins. For more on benefits follow this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_in_health It is known that benefits of silver was discovered in ancient times. “Hippocrates in his writings discussed the use of silver in wound care. At the beginning of the twentieth century surgeons routinely used silver sutures to reduce the risk of infection. In the early 20th century, physicians used eye drops containing silver to treat ophthalmic problems, for various infections, and sometimes internally for diseases such as epilepsy, tropical sprue and the common cold. During World War I, soldiers used silver leaf to treat infected wounds. As you might have already know – Silver is absorbed through skin and has pain-relief effect, that’s why silver bracelets are so popular. Knowledge slowly fades away nowadays if it has no big commercial value. For more on health benefits follow this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_uses_of_silver

Overview of the advantages• Reliable disinfection of viruses, bacteria, parasites, mold and algae• Protection from legionella, cryptosporidium, and other viruses and bacteria. • UV and Ozone drastically reduced chlorine requirements and eliminates when used with Minerals.• No formation of dangerous by-products• No environmental impact• No nasty Chlorine smell• No more red eyes• No dry skin or damaged hair• Prolongs Pool Life – won’t erode pool surface or equipment• So the health benefits of silver can be summarized as:• *Keeps blood vessels elastic, reduces the symptoms of arthritis, can have a toxic effect of some of the

bacteria, viruses and fungus, reduce the risk of infection, has antibiotic and sterilization effect, balances the elements in the body, is still used in hospitals today in major cuts, burns and babies eyes when first born.

• Copper plays many important roles in maintaining a healthy body and some of its benefits include:anti-inflammatory, essential for normal growth and health, vital component of the natural dark pigment, melanin, which imparts coloration to the skin, hair, and eyes, widely known as a brain stimulant, either an element or a cofactor in as many as 50 different enzymes that take part in various biological reactions within the body, helps in the absorption of iron from the intestinal tract and in the release from its primary storage sites like the liver and many more.
