Floatron, the Solar Answer to Pool Cleaning
by Liz Morrison

Finally, a pool filtering system that harnesses solar power, uses no electricity, and requires fewer hazardous chemicals. The Floatron floating water purifier combines the eco-friendly use of solar power with a water ionization process to keep pools free of bacteria, algae, and other harmful organisms. Plus, the Floatron reduces the need for expensive pool chemicals.

How it works
The Floatron floats on the water’s surface soaking up sunlight. Floatron’s advanced technology photovoltaic panel converts sunlight into electricity creating a harmless, low power current that energizes a specially alloyed mineral electrode below waterline. This process causes the release of mineral ions into the surrounding water. Ionized water, also called mineralized water, naturally and efficiently controls microorganism growth in your pool.

Fewer harmful chemicals means a healthier planet
Because minerals do not eliminate some pool contaminants such as dust and suntan lotion, a small amount of chlorine or any other oxidizer is necessary to maintain a crystal clear pool. In fact, typical results show an 80 percent reduction in the use of chlorine, bromine, hydrogen peroxide, or oxygen based compounds for pool cleaning while using a Floatron.

Using solar power means a smaller carbon footprint
If your pool filter is adding big dollars to your monthly electricity bill, using solar power to clean your pool will not only save you money, but you’ll be helping to reduce your energy use, which is good for the planet.
