Other oxidizers may be substituted such as bromine, hydrogen peroxide or oxygen based compounds, which are readily available at most pool supply stores. Swimming with the unit in the water is perfectly normal, and eliminates the irritations, odors, and bleaching associated with chlorine. Additionally, the water remains clear and stable for extended periods because the minerals do not evaporate out. The costs nothing to power and operate. The only part requiring replacement is the sacrificial mineral electrode which will last approximately 1- 3 swimming seasons and takes only a minute to change.
Replacement cost is minimal.
Made in the USA under strict quality controls. No moving parts. Constructed of space-age polymers which are weather, water, sunlight, and chemical resistant. The solar panel incorporates the most efficient photovoltaic cells available. The mineral electrode is alloyed from a special combination of ultra pure elemental metals.
