Avalon Pools, one of the leading swimming pool contractors in the country, is set to revolutionize the process of treating pool water by adopting the Waterco Ltd, Hydroxypure technology a truly chlorine-free water treatment system.
A seven-man technical team from Avalon Pools will fly to Malaysia next week to undergo Hydroxypure training to know how it works, the water chemistry, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting, and chemical safety.
This technology will be used in three swimming pools at Phase 3 project expansion in Resorts World Manila (RWM) consisting of three hotels, Hilton Manila, Sheraton Manila Hotel, and Maxims II, which is targeted for completion by 2018.
Hydroxypure uses a combination of ozone and hydrogen peroxide to create one of the most powerful oxidizers in nature. Based on the Peroxone Treatment Process (PTP), which combines hydrogen peroxide (H202) and hybrid ozone (03), Hydroxypure essentially ‘turbocharges’ the sanitization process.
Hydroxypure’s hybrid ozone technology stimulates the action of the sun – it produces a high intensity wavelength of light which produces a clean form of ozone that’s free of impurities. The natural flocculating effect that ozone has on water greatly increases the capability of the filtration system to be able to filter out oxidized contaminants in the water, leaving the pool water clean and crystal clear.
The use of two disinfectants (ozone and hydrogen peroxide) actively works in harmony to increase active oxygen in the water. The synergy of the two disinfectants ensures the water environment is safe, without the creation of harmful chemical by-products. The end result is a swimming pool that’s totally chlorine free and enriched with oxygen.
It’s free of odors and taste, is soft and gentle on the skin – what’s more, no shower is required after swimming. It’s been described by users as “just like a refreshing swim in a natural spring.”
Among the key benefits from Hydroxypure include:
Chlorine & salt free water
No need to shower after swimming
Outstanding water clarity
Water enriched with oxygen
Fully automated sanitization and pH control
Water saving
Stain-free splash marks on the glass pool fences
Extends the life of the pool surface and pool equipment
Minimal maintenance
Waterco director Bryan Goh said “Hydroxypure ticks a lot of boxes, from the health benefits to the environmental benefits. It is a fundamental breakthrough in water treatment, providing not only an automated chlorine free environment, but also the added advantage of complete water recycling without any additional treatment.”
“The Hydroxypure system mimics the natural cleansing cycle within the environment to control bacteria. By using a combination of hybrid ozone and hydrogen peroxide, effective bacterial deactivation occurs, with the only by-product of this reaction being H2O,” Goh said.
