ECO-OXIDIZER AND CHLORINE

The advantage of the Eco-Oxidizer, when used in pool systems which also employ Chlorine sanitiser.

When Chlorine reacts with molecules that contain Ammonia and other nitrogen compounds (found in urine 
and other pollutants), it can form compounds such as Chloramine. These undesirable compounds are the 
cause  of  red  eyes,  itchy  skin,  and  Chloramine  is  responsible  for  the  “Chlorine  smell”  when  people  often 
(incorrectly) assume there is too much Chlorine in the pool.

The formation of Chloramines happens even more readily at low Chlorine concentration, because the level of 
"good" Chlorine (hyperchlorous acid) is too low to oxidize them away.

These compounds can be oxidized back to Hypochlorous acid (the desirable form of Chlorine) and gaseous 
Ammonia by break point chlorination. This is simply the addition of enough Chlorine to achieve around 10ppM 
Chlorine.

Whilst this method is effective, it has its own problems. Firstly, it can take some days for the Chlorine to return 
to  a  concentration  that  is  safe  for  swimming.  It  also  adds  to  the  hazards  of  large  volumes  of  dangerous 
chemicals being transported and used in and around swimming and spa pools. Thirdly, the high Chlorine 
concentration  can  damage  pool  equipment  such  as  pool  cleaners,  and  stainless  steel  ladders  and  other 
fittings. 

The Eco-Oxidizer will oxidize Chloramines and other undesirable compounds using electrical current instead of 
high Chlorine concentration. The Oxidizing output is active continuously when there is water flow through the 
return-to-pool pipeline, after the filter. In this way, the undesirable compounds will be oxidized as they are 
formed in the pool, so they are not able to increase to a concentration that is noticeable or harmful to humans.

When used in this way, the Eco-Oxidizer can be used not just as a Chlorine replacement device, but also as a 
complimentary  product  to  allow  the  pool  operator  to  maintain  very  low  chlorine  levels  (0.2  to  0.5ppM), 
without causing undesirable Chloramine build-up. 

Testing in swimming pools has shown safe, healthy water with no combined Chlorine during hot summer 
conditions, whilst maintaining under 0.5 ppM of Chlorine. The tests showed a vastly reduced Chlorine usage. 
Pool balance was easier to maintain, with buffer and acid usage also reduced.

The most important result, is that the bathers in the test pools were not subjected to unnecessarily high levels 
of chemical while swimming.
