The SixPower technology brings a new level of efficiency and environmental safety to pool water maintenance by utilizing hydrogen polyoxides (H₂O₂ and related compounds) instead of traditional sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) for disinfection. This transition offers several key advantages in terms of health, environmental impact, and water quality, creating a safer and more sustainable approach to pool sanitation.

Key Advantages of Hydrogen Polyoxides over Sodium Hypochlorite:

1. Powerful Disinfection Without Harmful Byproducts:
   • Hydrogen polyoxides, such as hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), are potent disinfectants that effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi in pool water. Unlike sodium hypochlorite, which can produce harmful byproducts such as chloramines and trihalomethanes (THMs), hydrogen polyoxides break down into water and oxygen, leaving no toxic residues. This results in cleaner, healthier water without the risk of harmful chemical exposure.
2. No Strong Chemical Odors:
   • One of the major drawbacks of sodium hypochlorite is the strong chlorine smell that can linger in pools and on swimmers’ skin. Hydrogen polyoxides, on the other hand, do not produce such odors, creating a more pleasant and natural swimming environment.
3. Gentler on Skin and Eyes:
   • Sodium hypochlorite can cause skin and eye irritation due to its harsh chemical nature, especially at higher concentrations. Hydrogen polyoxides are much gentler on the skin and eyes, making the pool water more comfortable for swimmers, especially for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
4. Environmental Sustainability:
   • Hydrogen polyoxides are more environmentally friendly compared to sodium hypochlorite. They degrade naturally into non-toxic substances, reducing the environmental burden associated with pool water discharge. In contrast, sodium hypochlorite can contribute to the formation of toxic compounds in water systems when pool water is released into the environment.
5. Enhanced Water Quality:
   • The use of hydrogen polyoxides helps maintain water quality over longer periods. Due to their oxidative properties, hydrogen polyoxides break down organic matter in the water more efficiently than sodium hypochlorite, resulting in clearer, fresher water with fewer chemical residues.
6. Reduced Need for Additional Chemicals:
   • Hydrogen polyoxides offer a more holistic solution for pool disinfection. Their ability to eliminate pathogens while maintaining water clarity means that fewer additional chemicals (such as algaecides or clarifiers) are required to maintain water quality, further simplifying pool maintenance.
7. Synergy with Plasma-Activated Water:
   • When used in combination with plasma-activated water from the SixPower system, hydrogen polyoxides are even more effective. Plasma treatment enhances the disinfecting power of hydrogen polyoxides by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), which further boosts the elimination of harmful microorganisms and improves overall water quality.

Conclusion:

By replacing sodium hypochlorite with hydrogen polyoxides, the SixPower technology not only improves pool water quality but also offers a safer, more eco-friendly, and health-conscious alternative for disinfection. The result is a swimming environment that is free from harsh chemicals, gentler on the skin and eyes, and better for the planet.
