Copper disrupts the DNA of the cells of various microbes and inhibits respiration, and efficiently kills bacteria. Copper also inhibits bacterial growth on your hardscape. Silver disrupts microbe DNA and inhibits replication. Silver has also been found to halt microbial growth and lead to cell death. Most importantly for pool owners, minerals allow you to use far less chlorine and other chemicals in your pool water.

Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) systems is the term used to define processes that create a large number of Hydroxyl Radicals for water treatment. The Hydroxyl Radical is second only to Fluorine for the highest oxidation potential of any known agent. This means effective disinfection with only a brief contact time. For pool owners, AOP systems create crystal clear water without using chemicals! When combined with minerals, AOPs create a truly freshwater experience.
