- Pool ionizers work in two ways. The ions kill bacteria by disrupting their enzyme balance. Then, they bond to the bacteria, making them large enough to be trapped by the pool's filtration system.
- Two cathodes are inserted into the water, which are connected to a current generator. The generator is connected to a standard electrical socket.
- Testing done by the University of Arizona has demonstrated the use of ionizers, when used with tiny amounts of chlorine, can be 1,000 times more effective against bacteria than just using chlorine alone.
- Pool ionizers can keep your pool clean without the use of harsh, irritating chemicals such as chlorine, which can damage fabric and pool equipment.
- When used without chemical assistance, pool ionizers might not be able to completely eradicate algal blooms, which occur after long periods of disuse.
