Water Technologies Inc. Cont d. Introduces the A-T A T to the pool owners of Ontario, while educating you on the ionization process Informs pool owners on the health benefits and ease of use that the A-T A T offers Establishes the A-T A T as an environmentally friendly Water Purification System Supports the product and the continuing health of your pool
Early Uses of Copper and Silver Historical examples Metal age copper pots Greeks/Egyptians used copper and silver containers Homesteaders threw copper and silver coins in rain barrels Silver Ion Generator was used by the Apollo Missions (NASA), for drinking water purification on board the Apollo space flights
What Is The A-T A T And How Does It Work? Constructed of the highest quality, solid state components. The controlled release of Copper and Silver ions into the pool efficiently and quickly kill bacteria and virus. uses current microchip processing technology Ions are released when a low DC current is passed between two electrodes through which the water is passing, enroute back into the pool from the filter. Ionization occurs in swimming pools when positively charged copper and silver ions are released into the water Copper ions act as a natural algaecide killing and preventing the e growth of algae. Silver ions act as a natural bacterial eliminator

What Approvals Does It Carry? The A-T A T is the only ionization system to be legally permitted in public pools in Canada CSA approval Federal government health department / pest control division ( PCP # 25505 ) Provincial Health Department of Ontario approval allowing the A-T A T device for use in residential and commercial(public) pools UL approved for public pools in USA C-UL approved for public pools in Canada
What Approvals Does It Carry? Cont d. Advantages of copper/silver ionization techniques in water purification ication are documented in scientific literature. See for example, National Library of Medicine articles: Disinfection of bacteria in water systems by using electrolytically generated copper:silver and reduced levels of free chlorine. authors Yahya MT, Landeen LK, Messina MC, Kutz SM, Schulze R, Gerba CP. - 1990 Copper Applications in Health & Environment Copper Cleans Up author - Geoff Greetham - 2000 Experiences of the first 16 hospitals using copper-silver ionization for Legionella control: implications for the evaluation of other disinfection infection modalities. author - Stout, JE, Yu VL. - 2003
Applications of the A-TA What functions does the A-T A T serve? An environmentally safe water purification system that is used to sanitize pool water Equally efficient in the sanitization of large bodies of water used in Cooling Towers in large buildings and manufacturing plants
Understanding Chlorine Chlorine is a health hazard in many respects. To humans, when it i enters the body through the mouth, nasal passages or skin it collects in the fatty tissues of the human body and can be cancerous. It is explosive and combustible. The only reason that it is widely in use is that no better alternative has been available able until now! Chlorine is a strong and generally harmful chemical. It has its uses but there is a trade off in using it. Chlorine, once it is introduced into a liquid form begins to vaporize and dissipate from the liquid. Ventilation carries it in air and it adheres on o surfaces and begins to corrode. It does its damage to many metals, painted surfaces and rubber seals. This corrosive effect causes a much higher maintenance cost in pool rooms and adjoining areas.
Functioning of the A-TA Maintains an electronic monitoring capability on an on-going basis (constant read outs) to ensure precise and on-going pool management of copper ++ ions Pool manager is able to monitor the A-T on a weekly basis as the A-T itself is working on a second to second basis Ionization process is unaffected by light or heat thereby offering a stable water condition with reduced pool maintenance whether the pool is indoors or out
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT... A. Health Benefits? B. Savings? C. The Environment? Know your Alternatives Know the A-T A T Advantages
A. Health Benefits COMPARISON: A T vs. CHEMICALS (HEALTH BENEFITS) CATEGORY Skin Rash Irritated and Watery Eyes Storage of Toxic Chemicals Handling of Toxic Chemicals Presence of Toxic Chemicals in Pool Allergic Reactions Safe To Ingest Human Error in Managing Levels ADVANTAGE AQUA-TRON ADVANTAGE CHEMICALS
B. Savings? COMPARISON: A-T A T vs. CHEMICALS (COST SAVING) CATEGORY Lower Chlorine Costs Eliminate CO 2 Costs Lower Cost of Other Chemicals Pool Cleaning Cost Pipes and Hardware Corrosion Monitoring and Maintenance Insurance Exposure Less Down Time Chemical Storage Handling ADVANTAGE AQUA-TRON ADVANTAGE CHEMICALS
C. THE ENVIRONMENT? Uses ionization of naturally occurring minerals rather than toxic chemicals Uses less water overall Copper and Silver levels are less than a third of E.P.A. drinking water standards (1.30 p.p.m. copper and.050 p.p.m. silver) No noxious chlorine fumes Reduced risk of an error impacting on environment Don t need eye goggles Longer life for bathing suits
Frequently Asked Questions Learning About Ionization Q. Is it a hard system to learn? A. No, there is a brief handbook and it takes minutes to learn the basics. Q. Does your company continue to supervise? A. Yes, we monitor the system and your pool on an on-going basis as well as providing a troubleshooting service and on-going advice. Q. Is there a warranty? A. Yes, there is a limited manufacturer s warranty and we are responsible for our rental units during the life of the agreement. Q. Is it insured? A. There is products liability insurance for $5,000,000.00 per occurrence limits.
Frequently Asked Questions Learning About Ionization - Cont d. Q. Will my workforce still need to spend the same time with pool maintenance? A. No, much less time will be needed. Q. Why do I still need to use chlorine? A. Minimal chlorine use is the law in Ontario however this minimal usage works in concert with the A-T A T unit and is at a level where it scarcely has any of its negative effects. Q. Will my alkalinity and Ph levels be managed by the A-T A T system as well? A. Yes, proper usage of the A-T A T system will maintain a fully balanced pool.
