SWIMMING POOLS & SPAS
From Olympic Sized Pools to Residential Pools and Spas, HydroFLOW Technology offers a range of benefits. It kills Bacteria and Algae without the use of chemical disinfectants, improves the performance of chlorine and reduces the amount required, prevents limescale buildup, improves water clarity and the overall filtration system.
HydroFLOW Water Conditioners:
Kills bacteria and algae, reducing chlorine usage over 60%
Reduces level of chloramines which minimizes “Pool Smell”
Dissolves limescale and prevents build-up of new limescale
Removes scum lines
Improves water quality and clarity
Reduces the duration and frequency of backwashing
Reduces amount of acid for pH control
Eliminates the need for flocculants
Lowers energy consumption
Reduces maintenance costs
Non-intrusive to the system

Bacteria and Algae
HydroFLOW Technology kills bacteria and algae without the use of chemical disinfectants, making pools safer and more enjoyable. The bacteria and algae are killed by using “pure water”. If a bacteria is dropped into distilled water that contains no salt at all then water is forced into the bacteria from the outside. This is due to the process called “osmosis” – water moves from an area of low salt concentration (outside the bacteria) to an area of high salt concentration (inside the bacteria). This causes the bacteria to swell and eventually burst. HydroFLOW exploits this effect to kill the bacteria in the pool. The HydroFLOW signal causes the bacteria to become electrically charged. The bacteria then attract a layer of “pure water”, containing no salt at all. The water from this layer is forced into the bacteria due to osmosis and the bacteria are killed.
Reduction in Chlorine and “POOL SMELL” All pools need a method of combating bacteria and algae. The usual treatment is to add chlorine to the water, which acts as a disinfectant. However its’ effectiveness is reduced when it combines with various organic chemicals such as urea (found in sweat and other substances). When combined with these, chlorine forms chemicals called chloramines, generally referred to as fixed chlorine. Not only are chloramines a less effective disinfectant but free chlorine must be added constantly to the pool as it is continually being converted to chloramines. Chloramines also create the characteristic “chlorine smell” or “swimming pool smell” as well as causes the painful “red eye ” effect. Breaking down chloramines back into free chlorine creates a stronger disinfectant and reduces the “pool smell”. One method commonly utilized is the “Shock Treatment”, adding a large doze of chlorine and more expense. HydroFLOW Technology produces a signal that applies an electric field to the chloramines molecules pulling them apart, releasing the chloramines and converting them back to free chlorine. It eliminates the need for shock treatment, reduces the amount of chlorine that needs to be added and reduces the “swimming pool” smell.
