Quality Pool & Spa Products
 
About Electronic Pool & Spa Sanitizers:  We recommend that every pool or spa have at least an ionizer which will reduce chemicals 80% to 90%.  For pools we recommend model PI-D, and for spas model SI-D, or Instant Ions model IONS-25 and a Copper Test kit model CTK.  If you want total chemical free water in your pool, we recommend a THUNDER ozone generator model T2000 or T4000, model TMIS or T24MIS ozone mixing injector system, and an ionizer model PI-D.  For a spa Model T500TS will provide total chemical free sanitation.  A PURITY combination salt chlorine generator and ionizer is a great option if you do not mind a very low .1 to .2 ppm of chlorine.  For pools use model P30RI, smaller above-ground pool use model P12AG, and for spas model PSRI.  Sunshine Pool Products manufactures the only systems which provide total chemical free sanitation, and combination salt chlorine generator and ionizer systems, which provide the best water quality, at the lowest costs, and lowest operating costs, than any other systems available anywhere.  Click Here to see our pool ionizer systems.  Click Here to see our spa ionizer systems.  Click Here to see our pool THUNDER ozone systems.  Click Here to see our spa THUNDER ozone systems.  Click Here to see our pool PURITY salt chlorine generator systems.  Click Here to see our spa PURITY salt chlorine generator systems.

HOW IT WORKS

Ionizers kill bacteria and algae in your pool.  The ionizer electrodes have a small DC voltage applied to them which forces ions to pass from one electrode to the other.  The ions are caught up in the water as they pass between the electrodes.  These ions attack and kill the bacteria and algae in your pool.  To maintain clean, clear water all you need to add is a sanitizer (chlorine or non chlorine) to your pool about once a week to shock and kill all the organics in your pool.   So, stop swimming in harsh expensive chemicals and enjoy the spring like water of an ionized pool with the Sunshine Ionizer.

What about a cartridge ionizer like Nature 2?
You should not use a cartridge ionizer.  They are very expensive, have to be replaced every few months, and you have very little or no control on the amount of ionization being produced.  They are sold without a test kit so you never know what the ion level is and if it is safe to reduce the sanitizer level.  The best method of ionizing a pool and the lowest cost over time is with an electronic ionizer.
 
Sunshine Pool Products manufactures two types of ionizers.  The Aqua Ionizer is low cost ionizer with copper electrodes.  It requires a low .2 ppm chlorine residual maintained in the pool with monthly chlorine shocks.  The Sunshine Ionizer has
electrodes made of a copper, silver, and zinc alloy, and have a higher initial cost, but cost less over time as the electrodes are large and last about 5 times longer.  The electrodes provide superior purification so the pool requires less chlorine.  This provides superior water quality.

What Chemicals Will I Needed to Use With a Pool Aqua Ionizer?
With Aqua Ionizer a low .2 ppm chlorine residual will need to be maintained in the pool with monthly chlorine shocks.  For bromine maintain .4 ppm.  It has been proven that maintaining .2 ppm chlorine and .2 ppm copper is more effective sanitation than using just chlorine at 2 ppm.  You must also maintain your pH between 7.2 and 7.6.

SUNSHINE IONIZER
Feature Large Copper, Silver, and Zinc Electrodes, and Instant Ions

What is different about the Sunshine Ionizer?

The Sunshine Ionizer electrodes are made of a custom made copper, silver, and zinc alloy designed for water treatment and are two to ten times larger than most ionizers so our electrodes last longer, 3 to 5 years on most pools, and our replacement electrodes are a better value.  Check out our electrode weights and compare.  Other ionizers use just copper only, or  just copper and silver, which is not as effective as our three metal electrodes.  All  Pool Sunshine Ionizers come with a bottle of our Instant Ions to add to your pool at start-up so your pool is instantly ionized so you won't have to wait a few weeks for the ions to reach the proper level before your pool is ionized.  Other ionizers use up to 50% of the electrodes in just the first few weeks to bring the ion level to the proper level.  We have been manufacturing ionizers since 1991, making us one of the earlier and more experienced ionizer manufacturers.

How are the Pool Ionizers Installed?

The  2" PVC cell is glued into the pool circulation system after the filter, and the controller is connected to the pump timer circuit so it has power only when the circulation pump is running.

What Chemicals Will I Needed to Use With a Pool Sunshine Ionizer?

It is necessary to add an oxidizing agent (chlorine) periodically to help break down excess organic debris, suntan and body oils ext.  Most of our customers just add 3 ppm a liquid chlorine each week after they are done swimming for the day.  The bleach is not stabilized and is usually dissipated by the next day so you are swimming virtually chemical free.  You can use granular chlorine to shock your pool if you dissolve it in water first, but never use calcium hypo chlorite as it hardens the water and creates scale.  For chlorine free swimming you can use a non chlorine shock instead of chlorine, however, we recommend using chlorine.  Alternatively, you can maintain a constant chlorine level at .2 ppm with chlorine tabs.  For bromine maintain .4 ppm.  It has been proven that maintaining .2 ppm chlorine and .2 ppm copper is more effective sanitation than using just chlorine at 2 ppm.  You must also maintain your pH between 7.2 and 7.6.

Is an Ionizer Compatible with a Salt Chlorine Generator or an Ozone Generator?

Yes, all our ionizer, salt chlorine generator, and ozone generator systems are compatible with each other.  We recommend that every pool or spa have at least an ionizer which will reduce chemicals up to 80%.

Do you have Commercial Ionizers?

Yes, we have several models of commercial ionizers that will treat up to 1,000,000 gallons with just one ionizer, and even larger pools can be treated by using multiple ionizers.  These ionizers are often used for treatment of water for cooling towers, fountains, ponds, and industrial uses.  Call for pricing and information on our commercial ionizers.  See Specifications below.

IONIZATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What is Ionization?    The electronic release of copper, silver, and zinc Ions.
What is an Ion?  Ions are positively charged atoms.
How does Ionization work?    A safe low voltage DC current is applied to the copper, silver, and zinc electrodes.  As the ions attempt to move from one electrode to the other, they become suspended in the water.
How does copper, silver, and zinc ionization purify water?   The copper, silver, and zinc ions disrupt the enzyme balance of bacteria and virus in your water.
Is ionization all that you need for your water? It is necessary to add an oxidizing agent periodically to help break down excess organic debris, suntan and body oils ext.  Most of our customers just add a gallon of liquid bleach (Clorox) each week after they are done swimming for the day.  The bleach is not stabilized and is usually dissipated by the next day so you are swimming virtually chemical free.  Using a non chlorine oxidizer allows you to swim shortly after application so you never have to swim in chemicals again!
How is ionization safer than chemicals?   Most, if not all of the chemicals used to purify water are caustic and or toxic.  Many are now thought to be Carcinogenic.  Copper , silver, and zinc are safe for drinking water as well as swimming pool water in quantities much greater than necessary for purification.
How is ionization more pleasant than chemicals?    The need for high levels of chemicals is eliminated.  Also eliminated are the strong chemical odors, damaging effects on hair, skin, fabrics, liners and pumping equipment. Furthermore, you eliminate the need for frequent trips to the store to purchase heavy containers of chemicals. Chemical storage is no longer a problem.
What are the operational costs of ionization?    In most cases, the electrodes will last 3 to 5 years and are relatively inexpensive to replace.  The only other cost is the electrical consumption which is only a few dollars a year.
How often will I have to test the water?    You will need to test the ion level every few weeks and maintain proper water balance.  The ion system is pH neutral so it will not change your water balance like chemicals do.
What about bromine?  Bromine compounds are about 1/3 chlorine anyway.  There is no stabilizer for bromine so it is used up in about 2 hours in an outdoor pool.  Bromine is more expensive than chlorine and still burns the eyes and skin.
