OXYMATIC TECHNOLOGY
OXYMATIC system generates the most powerful disinfectant after use of fluoride, which is not allowed
in recreational waters.
It is a thousand to three thousand times faster and more effective than chlorine.
OXYMATIC combines two technologies: the hydrolysis of water and the electrolysis of copper. With the
synergy of the two processes, water is disinfected at the time. Moreover, maintaining a residual copper
is allowing water disinfectant at the same time (the residual copper is more stable than chlorine)
It does not form irritating products nor does it give flavor to the water reason why it eliminates
problems of scent and irritations.
You do not need additional disinfecting and when the law should be used in public pools, are made
with the established minimum, and being disinfected water through the system prior to chlorination or
bromination disappear potential problems that could occur.
Automated installation and low maintenance cost.
The water treatment methods are the most common disinfectants that rely on chemicals to prevent
the growth of bacteria and pollutants harmful to health. Chlorination (water treatment method IM) has
demonstrated its ability to control many water pollutants but has many side effects harmful to the
environment and human health, such as trihalomethanes, chloramines, phenols etc ... as well as
corrosion of pipes, aluminum, chrome etc. ... not only health professional groups are against chlorine,
but also the public around the world is beginning to change the rules by eliminating or minimizing the
use of toxic chemicals and disinfectants by law.

HYDROLISYS
This is a Bipolar Oxidation Technology (A.B.O.T) and is called "bipolar" because it has two electrodes
(one is the positive pole or anode, and the other is the negative or cathode).
Every four minutes there is an automatic change of polarity, which allows the copper electrodes are
worn at a time and gives the system a certain self-cleaning.
Hydrolysis is the process by which the water molecule is dissociated into various species due to the
application of electric current on it.
The main reaction of the hydrolysis process is as follows:
2 H
2
O (OH
-
) + H
3
O
+
In the case of pure water, the
dissociation that is produced is
very weak, so there must be a
certain level of dissolved solids
and conductive molecules
(corresponding to the TDS and
conductivity parameters,
respectively, in the routine analysis
of water) for this process to
effectively act as a disinfectant.
However, there are many
secondary chemical reactions,
which produce ionic species with
an oxidant and disinfectant power,
such as ozone (O3), monatomic
oxygen (O1) and hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2).
