What is the science behind oxygenated pool systems? Will I not need chemicals in my pool any more, especially in the Arizona hot temperatures? How does that work?
With Shasta Pure, pool owners will not need to use traditional chemicals. Some traditional pool treatments might be needed after, for example, a monsoon storm, a big pool party or just kids in the pool for hours who assured you they never needed to use the bathroom. Shasta Pure takes 100% oxygen and ozone and puts it into countless nanobubbles. A nanobubble is 2,500 times smaller than a grain of salt. This scientific combination purifies pool water without needing traditional pool chemicals. The cleaning power of oxygen and ozone stay in the water for days, and even weeks, because of the nanobubbles. This allows nature’s best cleaning agents to continue sanitizing the water, while giving its swimmers some added health benefits beyond not having to swim in chemicals.
Can I add an oxygenated pool system (Shasta Pure) to an existing pool that includes a salt system, sand system, etc and how does that work?
Shasta Pure is a stand-alone sanitation system and would replace traditional chlorine, salt chlorine generating systems or any other sanitation system. It can be added to existing pools but the current equipment set-up and water quality would need to be assessed to ensure the ideal install and results.
How much will this cost to run an oxygenated pool system? Is it comparable to heating costs?
The system is very affordable to run. Together, the oxygen concentrator and commercial ozone generator only draw 7.5 amps. This costs (on average) about $0.16 cents per hour.
In addition to electrical usage, it’s important to add a small amount of natural minerals to the pool to reduce phosphate levels. This is important for any pool and any sanitation system. Phosphates can come from dead or rotting leaves, grass clippings, fertilizer runoff and other natural materials that end up in a pool. Even the residue from skin and hair products may contain phosphates.
All pool owners should watch their phosphate levels, but it’s especially important in oxygenated pools. Too many phosphates in a pool can lead to algae growth. Fortunately, unlike in traditional chlorine or salt chlorine pools, the algae will not suspend in the water and turn it green, but it can attach (in patches) to the wall and will be visible through the crystal clear water.
