For nearly 100 years, chlorine has been perceived as the only way to disinfect water in swimming pools. Yet, this method commonly yields red, irritated eyes, dry and brittle hair, swimmers ear, dry itchy skin, bleached out swimsuits, and the residual odor of the chlorine itself, not to mention the wear and tear on all pool equipment and the pool's surface.

Chlorine is a strong bleach and is dangerous. Studies have linked it with cancer, and scientists have reported that chlorine is a leading cause of erosion of the Earth's ozone layer. A drive to ban chlorine has become one of the most significant environmental fights in decades. Not only are these health hazards associated with chlorine, its actual effectiveness has been questioned. Chlorine will not penetrate and kill large groups of bacteria, nor will it effectively kill viruses.

Stop using harsh chemicals in your pool!

Find out why the Clearwater Pool System is better for you and your pool. We've provided information here to educate you about chlorine, the history of ionization, everything about the copper and silver ionization water purification systems and how it all works.

Chlorination of water is not very healthy for the long term, nor is it ecologically sound. Chlorine combines with organic chemicals from the rivers whose water we use and the result is a dangerous soup...a recipe for trihalomethanes - the chemical equivalent to chloroform - and for many chlorine compounds not yet identified. This creates a risk of cancer.
