Copper ionization is a safe and effective technology and is the ONLY healthy option for pools, spas, and drinking water. There is sufficient evidence that transition metal ionization is superior to other methods of disinfection. And unlike chlorine, copper ionization does not produce harmful byproducts such as trihalomethanes, chloramines, and chloroform. Since copper ions are stable, it is easier to maintain an effective residual in chlorine free pools. Furthermore, the ions will remain active until they are absorbed by the microorganism.

The health benefits of copper are well-documented. The trace mineral copper helps prevent anemia, bone and skeletal defects, a degeneration of the nervous system, defects in the color and structure of hair, reproductive problems, and abnormal cardiovascular problems. Copper is as important as calcium and zinc for bone formation, red blood cell integrity, skin and immune functions, nervous system functions, propagation of oxygen throughout the blood stream, and the conversion of beta carotene into Vitamin A. Essentially, copper is the perfect chlorine substitute!
