Why can these ions kill algae, bacteria and viruses and still be safe for humans, pets, small animals and plants?
A. We are dealing with very small particles that are measured in parts per million (ppm) that are sufficient to kill algae, bacteria and viruses, but insufficient to harm humans, pets, small animals or plant life. In fact, treated pool water is ideal for watering plants, as they need copper for normal healthy growth as well as for the control of fungus and mildew.
