8 Reasons ECOsmarte™
is Preferred Over Salt-to-Chlorine
Systems
● Swimmers prefer the feel
and taste of water treated with the ECOsmarte system.
● ECOsmarte systems work
within a calcium hardness range of 200-2,000ppm. ECOsmarte
converts calcium to bicarbonate and, because of this, will eliminate and
prevent calcium scaling on pool walls and rock features.
Salt-to-chlorine generators do not control calcium scaling and will only
work within a calcium range of 200-400ppm.
● Since salt-to-chlorine
systems produce chlorine, the sanitizing effectiveness of the system is
impacted by changes in temperature, bather load, sunlight and rainfall.
Changes in any of the factors may require additional 'shocking' of the
water to prevent an algae outbreak. ECOsmarte's effectiveness is
not significantly affected by any of these factors. An ECOsmarte
owner does not have to be concerned about doing anything different to
treat their pool if they have 20 kids in the pool all day. The pool
water will still provide bacterial and algae protection for a full week
or more.
● Vinyl liners, automated
pool covers and solar covers may become damaged from the user of
chlorine or salt-to-chlorine generators. Since the ECOsmarte
system does not require the use of harmful oxidizing chemicals, these
expensive pool components can be expected to last their normal life
expectancy.
● Salt-to-chlorine generators
will use an average of 500 watts of AC power for a 20,000 gallon pool.
ECOsmarte systems will use an average of only 40 watts of DC power to
treat the same amount of water.
● Salt-to-chlorine generators
and teh ECOsmarte system both use a chamber in their process. The
difference is that a salt-to-chlorine generator cell may seed to be
replaced in 3-5 years at a cost of over $400.00. The copper bars
in the ECOsmarte chamber cost less than $100.00 to replace and they
should last 4-7 years. The ECOsmarte chamber is warranted for 5 years
and should last indefinitely.
● The backwash dischage from
an ECOsmarte treated pool is safe for use on lawns and in gardens since
it does not contain any salt or sodium. Backwash from pools
treated with salt-to-chlorine generators can kill plant life, sterilize
soil preventing plant growth and is prohibited in many municipalities in
the US and Australia.
● ECOsmarte offers six days per week of
toll-free support at 1-800-ION SWIM to consumers, dealers and service
personnel. No such support is available by any manufacturer of
salt-to-chlorine generators being sold in the United States.
