First, the algae and bacteria are destroyed through a change in their enzyme processes. The ions maintain a stable sanitizer residual in the water until they are used up by this process. The Carefree Clearwater system maintains superior water quality using a minimal halogen level. Occasionally though you will need to oxidize the water to help break down excess organic debris from suntan oils, rain and wind etc. Using a non-chlorine oxidizer allows you to swim shortly after application.
Water balance is easy to maintain since the ion system is pH neutral.
Normal water testing and adjustments are all that's needed. Since 1985, Carefree Clearwater has set the standard as the leading manufacturer of ionization technology. We pride ourselves on our reputation for excellent quality and customer service. One of the main design differences is the Carefree Clearwater system reads the changing conditions of the anode and water chemistry and adjusts the power output appropriately. This means assurance of accurate metering of the ion flow.
