What are the applications of the Floatron Floating Solar Water Purifier?
The floatron is designed to provide hassle-free management of both residential and light-duty commercial pools Functions effectively in both heated and unheated pools One floatron unit purifies up to 40,000 Gallons / 180,000 Liters or any pool up to 20 feet x 40 feet Also works well in salt wat ...
- How does floatron compare to other brands of ionizers?
Floatron is a finely tuned device which introduces ions slowly and steadily into the water. This constant trickle allows water to accept and react completely with the minerals. This is technically superior to any other ionizer in the world, all of which generate large amounts of mineral ions in ...
- What is the scientific basis for Ionization?
Ionization is the taking apart of a material, atom by atom. This process occurs in nature at all levels and is how water accumulates trace minerals which help maintain its purity. Water purification by ionization has been practiced for thousands of years. By storing water in copper and silver c ...
- Are the minerals generated from floatron safe?
The recommended concentration is about 1/3 the amount allowed by the American EPA for drinking water. Essentially, safe enough to drink! To purchase, please visit The Energy SuperMarket
- How important is eliminating Chlorine use?
Sydney, Australia won the Olympic bid with the promise of "chlorine-free" Games. As a result, the Homebush Aquatic Centre, [the Olympic swimming venue] had ozone systems installed which were very expensive to install and costly to operate, just so the athletes would not have to swim in heavily ...
- What is the service life of the floatron?
This product is designed to last about as long as your pool!!! The solar photovoltaic panel does not wear out. The sacrificial mineral electrode can be replaced as many times as necessary over the years. To purchase, please visit The Energy SuperMarket
- Will other chemicals, such as algaecide, clarifier, stabilizer, etc. be necessary, or will shock treatment be required?
Using the floatron allows the PH level to stabilize. No other chemicals are recommended, and your pool will not need to be shocked. The floatron works perfectly with trace chlorine only. To purchase, please visit The Energy SuperMarket
- Will floatron work in a "saltwater" pool?
Yes! It works the same as when used in a "freshwater" pool. To purchase, please visit The Energy SuperMarket
- If floatrons work so well, why aren't they for sale in every pool store nation-wide?
Since the floatron's natural ionization purification process drastically reduces chemical sales, and are a one-time purchase, most pool stores are reluctant to offer them. The motive... profit. floatron is the least expensive, most effective way to purify pool water available today, and se ...

- Terminating Baquacil brand or Softswim brand chemistry
Easiest, simplest, and best : drain the pool and refill with fresh water. If unable to drain completely, drain as much as you can and top off with fresh water. Super chlorinate with triple dose chlorine shock. Apply at sundown; run pump a couple of hours, then turn off for the night. Yellow d ...
- Is the floatron effective for pools/spas inside glass atriums?
No, the floatron doesn’t work through glass. To purchase, please visit The Energy SuperMarket
- Floatron Floating Solar Water Purifier - Helpful Q & A Regarding Use
How much chlorine or other oxidizers are necessary after the pool water is fully ionized?Only a trace amount, [approx. 0.5 - barely detectable on a chlorine test kit] should be maintained to burn off contaminants. Will other chemicals, such as algaecide, clarifier, stabilizer, etc. be necessar ...
- Does any unit ever required maintenance?
The only part requiring replacement is the sacrificial mineral electrode which will last approximately 1- 3 swimming seasons and takes only minutes to change. Replacement cost is minimal, with the approximate cost of the replacement electrode - $75.00 The floatron requires the weekly washing o ...
- Does the floatron stay in the water all the time?
15,000 gallons and larger, probably most or all of the time [depending on local conditions]. Smaller pools part-time floating [e.g. few days in, few days out]. See instructions for full details. Swimming while the floatron in the water is perfectly safe. It only measures 12 inches in diameter, s ...
- How much chlorine or other oxidizers are necessary after the pool water is fully ionized?
Only a trace amount, [approx. 0.5 - barely detectable on a chlorine test kit] should be maintained to burn off contaminants. To purchase, please visit The Energy SuperMarket
- Is the floatron safe and effective for ponds and fish?
The floatron works well in all pond environment provided circulation exists to mix the ions thorough the body of water. The low concentration of minerals has proven to be completely compatible with all well known varieties of fish. To purchase, please visit The Energy SuperMarket
- What are the specifications of the Floatron Floating Solar Water Purifier?
Constructed of space-age polymers which are weather, water, sunlight, and chemical resistant Incorporates highest efficiency photovoltaic cells available Operational Manual PDF Format For more information or to purchase, please visit The Energy SuperMarket
- Will chlorine or other oxidizers still need to be added daily?
Only once per week, or if the pool begins to cloud, add a very small amount of chlorine. An easy way to pro-actively control the accumulation of contaminants is to maintain a trace level of chlorine is to leave one tablet in the skimmer basket. To purchase, please visit The Energy SuperMarket
- How does the floatron actually purify pool water?
As atoms of the floatron's special mineral electrode are ionized, they scatter throughout the water. These mineral ions exert a fatal influence on microscopic life forms. Experimentation by the University of Arizona proves that mineral ions, in conjunction with trace chlorine are 1,000 tim ...
