FAQ
What is NatureSwim?
NatureSwim is a revolutionary breakthrough in swimming pool technology that sanitises water without adding chemicals.
Copper is an algaecide and Silver is an anti-bacterial agent. But without the oxidising properties. If you try to run a pool just on copper and silver, you don’t have anything to break down the organic compounds. So what we use for the oxidisation part of the process is a combination of electronic oxidisation and ultrasonics.
NatureSwim is less hazardous, more energy efficient, and more effective than chlorine-based swimming pool systems.
Why should i Choose NatureSwim?
The rising list of major health consequences linked to chlorinated water is becoming overwhelming. Trihalomethanes, or THMs, are chemical byproducts of chlorinated water. Swimming exposes your body to dangerous THMs in three ways: through the skin, inhalation, and ingestion. The NatureSwim is designed to protect people and pets from the dangers of chlorine in pools, spas, and water features. We encourage you to conduct your own research.
Why spend more for NatureSwim?
Despite having a higher initial investment than more traditional and inefficient systems, NatureSwim begins to pay for itself as soon as you turn it on. You make financial savings on consumables, power, and chemicals. You also save a ton of time and hassle because the method is so simple to use.
Can my current system be retrofitted with the NatureSwim?
Yes. Existing pools can easily be retrofitted with our system. You don't need to get your pump, filter, etc. replaced. But we do recommend using cartridge filters as they can filter your pool water up to 10 microns and conserves water.
What are the consumables?
NatureSwim’s only consumables are the Copper/Silver electrodes, which will need replacing on average once every 18 to 24 months.
If you need to replace your electrodes you can contact us
Is the copper used with the NatureSwim harmful?
No, copper is a crucial metal found in many proteins and enzymes. Adults should consume 1-5 mg each day, according to research. The copper content at which the NatureSwim system functions is only 30% of the maximum recommended value in drinking water.
You would need to ingest between 3 – 15 litres of pool water to get the recommended daily intake of copper. The copper concentration in the NatureSwim water contains less copper than the waste water from some household municipal water suppliers. The silver content is also well below drinking water guidelines.
Is NatureSwim chlorine free?
Yes, The freshwater feel from the NatureSwim feels amazing refreshing when entering the pool and is the number one feedback we get from all our customers.
Can the NatureSwim be used in commercial pools?
Yes, the NatureSwim System is used in the most eco-friendly resorts, private houses and exclusive developments around the world.
Will Copper/Silver stain my pool?
If the NatureSwim is left unattended over an extended period of time (more than a month) and is not properly set, staining may occur.
This can be easily removed with citric acid which is commonly used as a pool stain remover without causing permanent damage. If you have any other concerns you can contact us
Why don't pool builders recommend NatureSwim?
The swimming pool industry, like many industries, is resistant to change, because they want to sell you pool chemicals.
Pool builders may also have agreements and incentives in place with suppliers to promote a particular brand, in these circumstances what they are recommending to you is often more for their benefit than yours.
Fortunately pool owners, are researching for better alternatives and are seeing the benefits of a freshwater pool system for their family and pets.
Pool builders around the world is starting to embracing the NatureSwim system and are learning that NatureSwim is easy to install, simple to commission and unlike salt and chlorine the NatureSwim System does not damage pool surfaces or equipment.
How long does it take to pay for itself?
Since every pool is unique, it's impossible to give you a specific response. It depends on the size of the pool, the weather, how many people are swimming, etc.
How do I test Copper/Silver levels?
Whenever the Copper-ion level is correct, the Silver-ion level will be in range also. The electrodes are an alloy mix of Copper and Silver, so the right proportions are always being released at the same time. The copper test kit that comes with the system is an easy way to check the levels.
fill the tube to 10mL of pool water by turn the tube upside-down, dip the tube into the pool (elbow deep) and turn it right way up and remove the excess water.
Add 5 drops of copper A.
Put the lid onto the tube and shake the tube.
take off the lid and add 5 drops of copper B.
Put the lid back on, shake the tube and wait 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove the cap, place the bottom of the tube on to the white area of the colour chart and match the colour by looking down into the tube.
