Are there other methods besides halogens such as chlorine or bromine to keep the pool water clear?

ECODROP: Clear pool water without chemicalsYes, there is!

It has been on the market since 1989, is licensed by NASANSF and UL and is used in private pools, public pools, Jacuzzis and amusement parks around the world (especially in warm countries). It uses a combination of copper, ozone and CO2 and costs a fraction to maintain compared to a chlorine, bromine or salt electrolysis system.

Bathing in drinking water!

So by combining copper, ozone and carbonic acid, your pool water becomes crystal clear, is easily winterised and your family can bathe and enjoy themselves in pure drinking water. The water is so pure that it can be used in the garden for irrigation without any problems and can seep away without any restrictions.

Copper is a vital trace element and is responsible for the energy production of the cells with oxygen (cell respiration), as well as for growth. We need around 1.5-3 mg/day.
The legal limit for copper in drinking water in Switzerland is 1.5 mg/litre.

Copper already has a lasting effect on algae at a concentration of 0.15-0.2 mg/litre, whereby the water is still of the best drinking quality!

Ozone is highly toxic and enormously reactive - but highly unstable. It kills bacteria and viruses around 3,000 times faster than chlorine and produces pure oxygen as a by-product. In addition, ozone reacts to organic compounds such as sweat and fats (sun creams, body fats) and causes them to oxidise.

The half-life of ozone is about 37 minutes; in heated and agitated water, the half-life is reduced to less than one minute and forms pure oxygen. Thus, ozone is completely safe for the treatment of drinking water or pool water.

The ph in the pool water is especially important when using chlorine and ideally lies between 7.1-7.6. Strong acids are used for this purpose.

However, the pH is directly related to the carbon dioxide dissolved in the water. We know carbonic acid from mineral water and most sweet drinks. It is used to prolong the shelf life of the drinks. So if you replace the CO2 that escapes from the water into the atmosphere, the ph remains stable.
