Congratulations on your new investment! The ECOsmarte Pool
System will give you many years of a safe and pure swimming
environment. Whether you are building a new pool, switching over
from chlorine, baquacil, salt chlorine generator or another sanitation
device, by choosing the ECOsmarte Pool System you have made an
environmental and health statement with your purchase. With the
ECOsmarte Pool System multiple forms of oxygen are delivered in
grams per minute. The electronic oxidation and ionization delivered by
the ECOsmarte Pool System inhibits algae and bacteria growth while
providing the oxygen necessary to qualify as a stand alone sanitizer
for the over 20,000 residential pools we have installed since 1994.
In Australia and Canada, your Government requires a 0.5 ppm free
chlorine residual with the ECOsmarte copper ionization. This level
must not exceed 1.0 with ECOsmarte. NO CYANIDE (Conditioner,
Stabilizer) is to be used with the ECOsmarte Pool System.
All other residential pools are to avoid the use of Chlorine.
