Progressive has improved on a proven theory of copper-silver ion water purification (mineral purification) and offers the highest quality, most effective copper-silver ionization water purification system on the market. For home swimming pools and spas; commercial water fountains, spas, and public swimming pools, and water cooling towers.

A recent press release from the Silver Institute quotes a recent CDC report warning that half the pools tested in a study last year had serious problems including water quality and filtration systems. Find out how copper-silver ion technology can help prevent these problems.

Why Ionization?

Copper and silver ionization has been used for centuries. Egyptians used copper and silver containers to control bacteria in their water. Pioneers used coins in their water to keep their water fresh. It was apparent this worked, but on one really knew why.


What Does an Ionizer Do?

Now this ancient innovation is harnessed in the advanced technology of the ionizer. The copper/silver component destroys algae and kills bacteria proving to be an effective means to maintaining superior water quality.

Applications include: swimming pools, spas, water features, fountains, ponds and cooling towers.


How Does it Work?

A low voltage electric charge across two metal bars is used to emit copper and silver ions into the water.

Copper has the ability to pierce the protective outer membrane of a cell and disrupt enzyme balance, as well as allowing other bactericides and algaecides access to the susceptible parts of the organism. Silver is effective because of its capabilities of interfering with DNA production and accelerating the death phase.


Benefits

* Copper/silver destroys algae, kills bacteria
* Ideal for those who are allergic or sensitive to standard sanitizing chemicals
* Dramatic difference in water quality
* Reduces between 80-90% of existing chemical costs
* Eliminates chemical odors
* Reduces maintenance time
* Increases life span of the plastic in pools and spas
* Ionization is chemically neutral, so water balance is often easier to maintain
* System is environmentally friendly and completely safe
* Unaffected by pH, temperature, aeration or sunlight
* Provides long-lasting and constant purification

Ion systems can be used in synergy with other methods of sanitation including ozone ultraviolet and chemical systems for improved performance as a supplemental or dual stage methods of sanitation.
