American SPS Reveals First Chlorine Generator to Eliminate Manual Cell Cleanings and pH Rise

Jan. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- ORLANDO, FL — December 8, 2008 — Today at the 2009 Q4 Conference, American SPS announced the April 2009 rollout of the Nexa Pure system with pH Clear.  This new technology turns the industry on its head by eliminating the need for reversing polarity, manually acid washing cells, or manually adding acid to the pool.  It also enables the launch of the first 12,000-hour self-cleaning cell.
Chlorine generators, or salt systems, have become very popular in the pool industry, but they have limitations.  All chlorine generators increase pH levels in the pool and the cells need to be cleaned on a regular basis.  Even modern “self-cleaning” systems that reverse polarity need to be manually inspected and cleaned with an acid solution every one to three months, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations.  In regions with hard water, “self-cleaning” systems often need to be manually cleaned every week.  Homeowners are forced to manually add acid to the pool to keep the pH levels down and acid wash the cell in a bucket to keep it clean and operational.  Manufacturers have experimented with reversing polarity more often in an effort to mitigate this problem, but this significantly shortens the lifespan of the cells.  
Nearly four years ago, American SPS set out to solve these problems by automating the acid wash and pH reducing processes.  Under strict confidentiality, American SPS has been developing and patenting isolated cell-wash technology that eliminates the need to manually clean cells or add acid to the pool.  The system works by isolating water inside the cell, then slowly infusing a small measured amount of acid into the isolated water.  The pH level within the cell drops to a level low enough to dissolve all mineral deposits that may have built up in that day’s operation.  After cleaning is complete, the low-pH solution is flushed back into the pool, which slightly reduces the pH level within the pool.  The system also infuses extra acid into the pool throughout the week to ensure pH levels remain balanced.  
Eliminating the reverse polarity function extends the cell life and enables the use of a unique “X” cell coating formulation that increases cell life by 50%.  The “X” cell comes with a 12,000 hour warranty instead of the 8,000 hour warranty traditionally found in the market.  “The great thing about this technology is that it’s accessible; it gives much more value to the homeowner at about the same price paid for a standard chlorine generator today”, said Mr. Eyal, the President of American SPS.    
According to P.K. Data, “issues like maintenance are a key barrier to overcome in attracting more pool owners.”  P.K. Data, Inc., 2007 U.S. Residential Inground Swimming Pool Market, February, 2007.  “This new technology increases the overall pool market by attracting new pool owners who were reluctant to buy a pool due to maintenance concerns”, said Mr. Harry Gordon, President of Perfect Pool Solutions.      
Nexa Pure with pH Clear Availability
Nexa Pure is the culmination of a multi-million dollar cooperative R&D project focused on resolving the limitations of chlorine generators.  Nexa Pure is immediately available for early-buy orders through most major pool distributors and will ship April 2009.
