Ionization
From the copper electrodes OXYMATIC system generates copper ions Cu2 +, which effectively remove algae,
bacteria and viruses. Contrary to what happens with various forms of chlorine here is no scientific evidence that
the organisms are developing immunity to copper ions.
An added advantage is that the system has a certain OXYMATIC disinfectant effect. The calcium in the water is
kept in the form of bicarbonate (water soluble), with a pH around 7 and a maximum temperature of
approximately 50 º C. The aforesaid avoids the fouling inside the pipe and reduces the tendency to corrosion.
This phenomenon was tested by ETL Laboratories / EPA and developed by OXYMATIC in 1995.
N.B. It is necessary to take special care where a pool has Line’s covering. PH should not exceed 7.6 due to the
fact that from this point the copper starts precipitating the characteristics of the line. The pool becomes dirty
with blue spots which are difficult to eliminate
