What alternatives to silver based sanitisers are there?
There are a number of alternatives to water sanitising systems or devices that do not contain silver. These products, that usually contain chlorine or bromine, do not need to be used in conjunction with other chemicals. If you prefer not to use chlorine or bromine, there are seven registered alternative products that contain hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient. Note that hydrogen peroxide products cannot be used with chlorine, bromine or with certain other non-chlorine oxidisers that are often sold with silver and copper ioniser systems. Be sure to read the special instructions with the lists of hydrogen peroxide products on the lists of APVMA registered complete pool and spa sanitisers. Alternatively, you may use a salt water chlorination system.
