ECO3SPA OR CHLORINE?
WHY USE ECO3SPA RATHER THAN CHLORINE?
CHLORINE | ECO3SPA |
Chlorine commonly causes skin irritation, primarily due to halogen amines generated as a bi-product of the chlorine reaction with bacteria. | The Active Oxygen sanitiser in eco3spa does not produce halogen amines and there is no evidence that Active Oxygen causing skin irritation. In fact we can guarantee that over 99% of eco3spa users will not experience any skin irritation whilst using the product. |
Chlorine has an unpleasant smell caused in part by the chlorine reaction with bacteria. | Whilst the sanitiser product in it's raw, concentrated form in the tub will have a 'chemically' smell, the only smell from a hot or cold tub sanitised with eco3spa will be an occasionally fresh, clean 'Ozone-like' smell. |
Chlorine is only effective over a very narrow pH range and the reaction of chlorine with bacteria and sunshine causes pH changes, resulting in a need for constant testing and water balancing. | The effectiveness of our eco3spa sanitiser is unchanged by normal tap water pH values and has been shown by independent research to be effective over the range pH 5.2 - pH 8.5. In fact, scientific research in the academic literature indicates the efficacy of Active Oxygen as a biocide over a much wider pH range than this. This means that pH testing and water balancing is not required when you use eco3spa. |
Chlorine tablets (trichlor tablets) are highly acidic resulting in corrosion and damage to plastic tub parts, cushions, covers and other equipment. | eco3spa sanitiser tablets are pH neutral. |
Chlorine in hot or cold tub water bleaches swimwear, pillows, cushions, covers, other surfaces and tub parts. | Our eco3spa sanitiser does not bleach when used at the concentration advised. |
Chlorine reacts with bacteria to produce trihalomethanes which scientific studies have shown to be carcinogenic. | There is no carcinogenic effect known to be related to Active Oxygen or any of the components of eco3spa. |
When Chlorine gets into soil and water-courses it can be fatal to plant and animal species. | All components of eco3spa are non-toxic in the concentrations recommended. Water treated with eco3spa is safe to discard onto your garden. |
