Disinfection Water Ionizers for Swimming Pools, Cooling Towers, Drinking Water The Biophysica Zeta Ionization Purifier disinfects water using water ionization technology which dramatically reduces the amount of chlorine used in swimming pools by at least ten times. Zeta Potential, carried by copper and silver ions from the electrodes, restructures the water and injects trace amounts of biocompatible atoms and ions into your drinking, cooking, swimming, washing and cooling waters. Only a Zeta ionizer keeps the water safe and sanitary by killing dangerous micro-organisms including parasites and viruses. Consequently Ionization is now augmenting chlorine in drinking water, aquariums, fish farms, swimming pools and hot tubs. In contrast to oxidizers like chlorine, bromine, ozone, peroxide which are known carcinogenic agents and cause lung damage when inhaled, the Positive Zeta Potential, precious metal atoms and ions (in trace amounts) act as catalysts and do not lose their Zeta electrical charge which has a residual potency lasting for many months.Copper is a well known algaecide and is commonly used at a trace level of 0.2 ppm to control algae in lakes, ponds, fountains, cooling towers and swimming pools. Silver and many of its compounds have unique antimicrobial properties and are commonly used in hospitals. Silver ions at trace levels of approximately 0.015 ppm silver are used to control bacteria and viruses. Chlorine works synergistically with ionization and is recommended at a barely detectable level of 0.4 ppm, 1quart (1 litre) of liquid bleach in a typical 30,000 gallon pool. The Technology uses pairs of electrodes immersed within a sealed chamber in-line with the water flow.Using low voltage electrodes and specific high frequencies, our Zeta Ionizer charges and restructures the water with long lasting trace amounts of biocompatible atoms and ions which remain active for months in the water to kill algae, most bacteria (such as coliform, legionella, staph, MRSA, strep, c.difficile, listeria and many viruses (such as norwalk, polio, HIV, hepatitis).
Chlorine: Chlorinated compounds are acidic, corrosive and bio-incompatible, predisposing to asthma and cancers.

Pure silver, gold, zinc or magnesium electrodes can be ordered extra and can be of length up to 14". Electrodes: Generally come as pairs of the same metal. Pairs with two different metals eg: One of copper and one of silver are available, such as we supplied to a dolphin aquarium to be able adjust ratio of each metal. Copper is used for bacteria and algae control in applications such as swimming pools and cooling towers. Pure silver is used for purifying drinking water and has additional antiviral properties. | Description | SKU # | Price per Pair | | Copper 99%/Silver 1%, length = 6 inches, thickness = 4 mm | ELEC-C6x4 | $200 USD | | Copper 99%/Silver 1%, length = 12 inches, thickness = 4 mm | ELEC-C12x4 | $300 USD | | Pure silver length = 6 inches, thickness = 2 mm | ELEC-S6x2 | $800 USD | | Pure silver length = 12 inches, thickness = 2 mm | ELEC-S12x2 | $1400 USD | | Pure silver length = 6 inches, thickness = 4 mm | ELEC-S6x4 | $1400 USD | | Pure silver length = 12 inches, thickness = 4 mm | ELEC-S12x4 | $2500 USD | | Pure zinc length = 6 inches, thickness = 4 mm | ELEC-Z6x4 | $300 USD | | Pure zinc length = 12 inches, thickness = 4 mm | ELEC-Z12x4 | $500 USD | Other metal electrodes such as Gold, Platinum, Magnesium, Iron, Tin are available.

Water Ionization Electrodes Electrodes: We have a regular supply of Canadian mined medically 99.99% pure solid silver bar electrodes which are made to our specifications. The amount of atoms released per second is dependent on total surface area of the electrodes and the electrical current (up to 14 amperes) applied to the immersed electrodes. Consequently the build-up to 0.1 ppm takes many days in a typical 20,000 gallon swimming pool or drinking water holding tank. Copper electrodes are intended primarily for pools. Our electrodes have a larger than usual surface area (flat rather than round rods) for greater conductivity in pure water with low electrical conductivity less than 500 uS or 300 ppm. We provide 6” or 12” long electrodes. Our electrodes are length = 6" or 12” x width = 1.25". Thickness of copper electrodes is 6 mm (1/4”). Silver electrodes can have thickness = 2, 4, or 6 mm (1/4”). Electrodes will last about one year, then they can be easily replaced by unscrewing the plug. The pool ionizer electrode pair is made of an alloy of copper 99% and silver 1%. Drinking Water: Electrodes are of pure solid silver. They are mounted on a 2” or 4” diameter PVC plug which can easily be screwed into the charging chamber to replace old electrodes. Plug has hand tight union thread. They are generally 6” long but can be 12” or multiple manifolds can be connected for large installations. Total volume producable by one pair of electrodes:
This volume is based on the amount of metal atoms in a pair of electrodes diluted at 1 ppm. For example a pair of our 6 inch copper electrodes are 6" x 1.25" x 0.25" have a total consumable electrode weight of approximately 558 gms. This would charge 55,800 litres with 1 ppm (1 mg/l) or about 100,000 gallons with 0.1 ppm. Controller Box: The industrial ionizer control box enclosure comes in an internationally approved water-proofed windowed box, whereas the basic residential Ionizer models come with control box enclosure made of robust solid aluminum. Each has a control knob to allow the user to make fine adjustments to the low voltage current going into the water through the electrodes. Ionization control knob has 10 energy levels so that it can be turned down once the desired copper or silver level is achieved. The control box circuitry contains a self-cleaning Alternating Polarity and Constant Current circuit so that it can be used even with highly electrically conductive salt water.
The advantages of Ionization purifiers include the ability of the user to electrically control and balance the amount of ions going into the water, no filters or chemicals to add, ease of installation and portability, small amount of electricity (less than a 60 watt lamp). Our quick disconnect adapters allow removal, cleaning and replacement of the electrodes in a matter of seconds. Two or more channels can be added for extra volume of copper or silver or for simultaneous replacement of the essential minerals Zinc and Magnesium 
Two Channel Ionizer
(Dreamcatcher Model) | 
Two Channel Electrodes
with UV in 2 inch charging chambers | The above two channel ionizer (Dreamcatcher Model) was built for a native community water purification plant for safe drinking water to provide silver, copper and UV, with total separate control over each metal, rather than using an alloy with fixed ratio of copper to silver. Each channel is capable of up to 6 amps output simultaneously, a total of 12 amps, the highest in the ionizer industry. 
The above water disinfection silver ionizer has 6 cylinders all feeding into one manifold chamber. Silver electrodes can be up to 14 inches long for industrial volumes. Our ionization units vary in price, depending on the volume, from $950 for a domestic system to $100,000 or more for a municipality. This section of the website provides ample background information on water ionizers, sample application for them, their benefits, safety and maintenance.
