| 8 Reasons Why ECOsmarte is preferred by Pool Owners and Pool Professionals Over Salt-to-Chlorine Systems |
Swimmers prefer the feel and taste of water treated with the ECOsmarte system over
water treated with salt-to-chlorine generators by an overwhelming margin.
ECOsmarte systems work within a calcium hardness range of 200-2,000ppm.
Because it converts calcium to bicarbonate, the ECOsmarte 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 200-400
ppm.
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 these factors may require additional “shocking” of the water to
prevent an algae outbreak. ECOsmarte’s effectiveness is not significantly affected by
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
use 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 the ECOsmarte system both use a chamber in their
process. The difference is that a salt-to-chlorine generator sell may need to be
replaced in 3-5 years at a cost of over $400. The copper bars in the ECOsmarte
chamber cost less than $100 to replace and they should last 4-7 years. The
ECOsmarte chamber is warranted for 5 years and should last indefinitely.
The backwash discharge 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 United States and Australia
(where salt-to-chlorine systems were invented).
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.

I am writing to let you know how
much our family loves our
swimming pool since we
purchased the ionic water
purification system from
ECOsmarte. We live in Central
Pennsylvania and have an 18ft. x
36 ft. in the ground pool of twenty
seven years. During this period
of time we have tried several
methods of water purification.
We started with and used
chlorine (HTH) for thirteen years
and then switched to baquacil for
four years and finally in 1996 we
purchased the ionic purification
system from ECOsmarte which
we are currently using and like
very much. The great thing about
the ionic purification system is
that once you get your water
chemistry in balance there is
very little work to maintaining a
picture perfect pool. More
important is the fact that this
system provides you pure water
without any toxic chemicals and
at the same time saves you the
expense of those chemicals. In
addition, the ionic system uses
very little electricity so it is
inexpensive to operate. After
using all three methods of
purifying our pool water I would
recommend the ionic purification
system by ECOsmarte over all
the other methods. You can't
beat this system with all the
advantages it has to offer. Thank
you.
