Ionizing a swimming pool involves the gradual introduction of copper and silver ions into the water in regulated doses. Any bacteria or algae found in the pool water will rapidly be eradicated with the presence of reasonable doses of copper and silver ions. If a swimming pool is out of use, yet still filled with dormant water, the ionization process will continue preventing the build-up of bacteria and especially algae. Before the days of ionizations, if chemical treatment was not carried out on a pool, algae would build up and eventually turn black. This had become a very serious problem for pool owners who can spend hours hand clearing the unpleasant to touch black algae which also gives of the most unpleasant of odors.

As winter approaches, pool owners need to decrease the ratio of copper in the water before winding down the use of the pool. Before final close down, the ionizer pump should be run at full power for a day or so to ensure that all bacteria and algae spores have been effectively destroyed. The same rule applies in the spring before the pool goes into operation. After this piece of essential maintenance has been completed the pool can be operated during the entire season with confidence. Al that is required is a few hours of ionization every day, to ensure that bacteria or algae cannot raise their head in your swimming pool.
