Until recently, chlorine has been believed to be the best choice for water disinfection. Many studies have shown, however, that chlorine is the main culprit for most of the health problems linked to swimming, such as skin and eye irritation, brittle hair, and swimmer's ear. Chlorine is also to blame for the fraying and fading of swimsuit fabrics and the discoloration and erosion of swimming pool floors and sides. Clear Water Pool Supplies answers this problem by introducing a complete line of safe and chlorine-free pool maintenance products that effectively disinfects pool water without the health and environmental hazards.

Clear Water Pool Supplies is fast becoming known as the safest, most effective pool maintenance system in the market. It is the maintenance system of choice for many high-profile public pools, most notably the Adventure Island swimming pools at Sea World. This is because Clear Water Pool Supplies allows them to cut down costs on chlorine use by up to 75 percent.

Clear Water Pool Supplies disinfects pools using a process called copper-silver ionization. Copper ions have long been known to inhibit algae growth, and silver ions are known to kill bacteria and viruses. The system uses electrodes with a 96 percent copper and four percent silver mix. A current is passed through the electrodes, which triggers the release of copper and silver ions in the same proportion. Water passing through the electrodes sweeps the ions away and carries them throughout the pool before the electrodes suck them back in.

Clear Water Pool Supplies carries ten different pool maintenance systems that can accommodate 2,000 to 1.8 million gallons of water – the industry range for US commercial, semi-public, and public pools. The cheapest model, the SPA-1R, works well in medium-sized pools and spas, particularly the semi-public ones found in apartments and hotels. It can also be used in large residential pools, although it would not be practical for the purpose. Mid-end models like the CS-225 and the CS-300 can handle 200,000 to 300,000 gallons of water, the volume of a typical public pool. For large, commercial pools and Olympic-size pools, Clear Water Pool Supplies has higher-end models such as the CS-1200 and the CS-1800, with capacities approaching two million gallons.

Clear Water Pool Supplies provides a test kit with all of its pool maintenance systems. The test measures the amount of ions in the water so that you can turn down or crank up the ion release rate as necessary. All Clear Water products also come in a durable weatherproof case to ensure years of efficient use. You can also purchase the supplementary Ion Mate, a water conditioner and descaler which allows you to control pH levels.
