POOL TIGER BENEFITS- Kills contaminants two ways- Reduces the need for chlorine & other chemicals by up to 90%- Clarifies water by eliminating suspended particles- Simplifies water balancing- Eliminates excess cyanuric & other acids- Cleans scale and biofilm from pool surfaces, pipes and equipment- Protects surfaces from scale and stainingPOOL TIGER BENEFITS- Kills contaminants two ways- Reduces the need for chlorine & other chemicals by up to 90%- Clarifies water by eliminating suspended particles- Simplifies water balancing- Eliminates excess cyanuric & other acids- Cleans scale and biofilm from pool surfaces, pipes and equipment- Protects surfaces from scale and stainingCHEMICALS YOU PROBABLY WON’T NEED WITH A POOL TIGER- Clarifiers– ammonium chloride, chitosan, enzymes, polyacrylamides, aluminum sulfate (aka “alum”)- pH Increasers – sodium carbonate (aka “soda ash”) & calcium carbonate- De-scalers – solvents, vinegar, bleach, pumice stones, muriatic acid*- Sequestering agents – these prevent metal particles in the pool from staining pool walls You, your family and pool guests can avoid exposure to various chemicals – and the health risks associated with them – because Pool Tiger’s all-natural, chemical-free processes do what the chemicals do, but much more safely.*Muriatic acid may be used to reduce high pH.BENEFITS OF STRUCTURED WATER IN SWIMMING POOLS AND SPASStructured water tends to collect at hydrophilic surfaces such as pool walls and floors. There it forms a protective layer known as an Exclusion Zone due to its tendency to reject any material that is not structured water. In essence, structured water:- Protects against scale by preventing minerals from adhering to pool surfaces- Protects against staining and the adherence of biofilm- Reduces evaporation and inhibits the escape of chlorineIMPORTANT: Structured water also helps to protect the body, which is hydrophilic, from absorbing contaminants and chemicals.ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLYThe production of chemicals used to sanitize and maintain swimming pools introduces a variety of pollutants into the air. When swimming pools are drained, chemical-laden pool water can have a devastating effect on downstream ecology. An ongoing need for replacement parts for water enhancement devices like ionizers and UV units represents a drain on natural resources and a negative impact on the environment. Because it dramatically reduces the demand for harsh chemicals and does not require replacement parts, Pool Tiger stands alone among water enhancement devices as the most environmentally friendly of all enhancement options.HOW IT WORKSPool Tiger was designed to harness an all-natural process known as Hydrodynamic Cavitation. In our device this process relies solely on the flow of water as driven by the pool pump. Constructed of hardy thermoplastic, Pool Tiger has no moving parts. It does not require electricity nor does it contain any cartridges or other components that will ever require replacement.HYDRODYNAMIC CAVITATIONThe effects of cavitation have been known for more than a hundred years, but only recently has this phenomenon been harnessed to provide several important benefits. Cavitation in our device occurs when water accelerates within the device’s nozzle. This acceleration drops the pressure of the water below the vapor point, resulting in the formation of small vapor bubbles. As the vapor bubbles exit the nozzle, the pressure of the surrounding water causes them to rapidly collapse and revert to a liquid state once again. This rapid change in water’s states of matter creates:- High levels of infrared energy (heat )- Intensive shock wavesThese factors are sufficient to:- Oxidize and destroy exposed contaminants – this improves sanitation and reduces the need for chemical treatment- Initiate the gradual decomposition of acids – this raises pH and eliminates excessive levels of cyanuric- Change the polarity of suspended particles, causing them to agglomerate to a size at which they are easily captured by the filter – this clarifies water and creates a more inviting swimming environment- Affect the bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms which constitute water molecules - this produces a phenomenon known as "structured water" It is important to note that the heat produced by cavitation is quickly absorbed by the surrounding water. As such, it does not raise the temperature in the pool by any measurable degree.Manufactures Link
