Mineral Pure

CS-75 Purification System

“For Pool Up To 75,000 Gallons”

Manufactured by Clearwater Enviro-Technologies

The Mineral Pure ionization system reduces the amount of chemical needed to maintain a clean, healthy pool.  In many cases, it eliminates the need for chlorine altogether.  This system purifies water using Copper & Silver ionization.  Once the Mineral Pure ionization system is installed and running correctly, your pool water will actually pass EPA’s guidelines for Fresh Drinking Water.  Now that’s water you can actually enjoy swimming in.

The Mineral Pure Ionization System will kill over 650 types of bacteria, viruses and protozoa.  This is a sampling of what the Copper/Silver Ionization will kill:

ü                  Amoebae dysenteriae

ü                  Bacillius typhosus

ü                  Cryptosporidium

ü                  Endamoeba histolytica

ü                  Escherichia Coli (e. coli)

ü                  Giardia lambia

ü                  Herpes Virus

ü                  HIV

ü                  Influenza A & B

ü                  Legionella pneumophila

ü                  Poliomyelitis

ü                  Pseudomonas aeruginosa

ü                  Salmonella

ü                  Saccharomyees cerevisiae

ü                  Sarcina Flava

ü                  Shingella dysentiniae

Copper & Silver Ionization was used by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians to keep their water clean and pure.  It was also used by early American pioneers moving west across the continent.  They put Copper & Silver coins in large wooden water casks to provide them with safe drinking water on their long voyage.  When the wagons rolled, the agitation caused the coins to discharge ions (an electrically charged particle) in the water.  The Copper-ions killed algae while the Silver-ions killed bacteria and viruses.

The Mineral Pure Purification System consists of a state-of-the-art micro-processor control box and a scientifically designed set of electrodes composed of Copper & Silver that are set slightly apart from one another.  Water passed through a specially designed flow-cell chamber that houses the electrodes.

The control box works by generating a precise, low voltage, DC current (at milliamp levels) to the electrodes.  These electrodes consists of a metal-based cathode and a metal-based anode.  A current is passed between the cathode and the anode, thus producing Copper & Silver Ions by normal plating.  Basically, the current causes some of the outermost atoms of the electrodes to lose an electron, thus becoming positive ions.  While the water is running through the chamber, many of these ions are swept away before they can reach the other side of the electrodes.  As a result, Copper & Silver ions are dispersed into the body of water that is being purified.

The greatest benefit of Copper/Silver ionization is that the ions remain in the water providing a residual protection.  They provide long-term, nontoxic purification and prevent against recontamination.  Unlike most other types of sanitizers, the Copper & Silver ions remain in the water until they flocculate, or form masses with algae and bacteria and then become large enough to be removed by the filtering equipment.  When the “used” Copper & Silver ions are removed, the microprocessor control box is always producing new Copper & Silver ions to continuously sanitize the water.  Generally, the setting of the microprocessor is kept at the same setting, thus a proper amount of Copper & Silver ions are always in the water.
