Copper & Silver Ions
Hi all,
Probably a silly question, but I've just got to ask.... I've been offered a pool water purifier that works by using a silver and copper ionizing process. It negates the need to use chlorine in a swimming pool. It keeps algae, mosquitoes, etc. from even starting to live in the water. It worked great in a Jacuzzi. ...............But would it kill my fish and plants in my pond? The name of the manufacturer (now defunct), was Electron Pure. Thanks, Mark |

My father has one of those things on his swimming pool - works very well for that but I don't think it would be a good idea on a pond. I would think it might dump quite a lot of copper into the water which would not do your fish any good at all - nice idea but I'd avoid. Closest match for a pond in terms of what it does would be a UV sterilizer.... HTH rgds I. |
