Nature2 is a sanitizing system that uses patented mineral-bed technology to provide crystal clear water and improved water quality. Working with the pool filtration system, Nature2 uses elemental minerals that combine with a small amount of chlorine to inhibit bacteria growth and eliminate contaminants. Minerals make the water noticeably softer, and less chlorine means a lower potential for red-eye, dry skin or foul odors. With Nature2, your swim experience is clean, fresh, and gently soothing.

Extensively tested and proven to sanitize your water more effectively than chlorine-based treatments alone, Nature2uses precise mineral combinations for its pool and spa treatments. Its Controlled Release Technology provides precise amounts of minerals in the water at any one time, ensuring optimum cleaning and no staining. In pools, silver and copper work in conjunction with the small level of chlorine to destroy bacteria and other organics. Nature2Spa combines silver, and other trace elements, to effectively sanitize even at the higher water temperatures. When used with MPS, the most recommended oxidant for spas, Nature2 Spa becomes the only EPA approved complete, non-chlorine sanitizing system.

An industry leader for over 18 years, Nature2 is the most successful mineral-based system on the market - installed in over 300,000 pools and spas worldwide, and carried by more than 5,000 dealers. With 17 patents worldwide and 20 more pending, this low-chlorine alternative truly is the future of pool maintenance.

We hear so much these days about ways to green our homes, but very little about extending that eco-awareness into the backyard. However, many are looking for ways to make a move towards environmentally responsible pool care. And, with recent reports that chlorine levels in pools are often 200 to 400 times higher than what's considered safe for the environment (source, Yahoo! Green) and findings that link regular swimming in chlorinated pools by young children to an increased risk of developing asthma (source,The Green Guide), the call to action becomes all the more pressing. It's good to know that there are alternatives out there.

Zodiac's Nature2 mineral sanitizing products for the pool and spa dramatically reduce the need for heavy doses of chlorine and provide an eco-friendly choice for pool and spa maintenance.

For spa owners, Zodiac offers Nature2 Spa. Its patented mineral water treatment reduces the use of chlorine and bromine for a relaxing soak, free of harsh chemicals and overpowering odors.When used with Zodiac's Cense, aromatherapy MPS (the most recommended oxidant for spas) Nature2 Spa becomes the only EPA-approved chlorine-free mineral sanitizer system for spas on the market, delivering crystal clear water quality and an irritant-free spa experience.

Nature2 Express is a quick, affordable and eco-friendly sanitizer that uses the mineral elements of silver and copper, with a very small amount of chlorine, to inhibit bacteria and eliminate contaminants. It installs easily on most existing pool plumbing systems, reducing the harsh effects of chlorine while vastly improving water quality and feel.

 

 

 

 

 

Eco Friendly Prevention For Algae, Stain and Scale in Swimming Pools

Welcome to Orenda Technologies, where non-toxic and non-hazardous solutions for algae prevention begin. Say goodbye to algae thorough starvation, not with harsh algaecides. Tired of removing unsightly stains and scale deposits with toxic chemicals?  We have solutions with the planet in mind. Orenda Technologies, prevention science in harmony with nature, without compromise.

Our Story

Orenda Technologies, founded by our president Dick Kersey,has been in the recreational water treatment business since
1990 with a specific focus on enzymes. Dick began his science lessons in 1954 at Swarthmore College, and went on to serve the United States Army as a Chemical, Biological & Radiological Weapons specialist from 1958-1964. He has been a scientist in one capacity or another ever since.

Our experience from a scientific perspective and our years of working within the industry are our greatest credentials. Science met pool-industry experience in 2005, when Harold Evans, founder of The Pool Surgeon, was seeking answers to problems in his repair business. The Pool Surgeon has been maintaining pools in the Dallas area since 1982. At the advice of a major pool-industry manufacturer, Harold approached Dick for solutions to long-standing chemistry problems concerning algae control. The exchange of knowledge that day would result in the marriage of science and application that makes Orenda Technologies stand out in the pool industry.

Orenda Technologies is changing the way we control algae, stains, and scale with patent-pending solutions that have
exploded traditional practices. We provide quality, prevention-driven, earth-friendly solutions with the pool professional in mind. These products are sold exclusively in partnership with Pool Corp. the largest publicly traded supplier to pool professionals in the world. These products are only available to the pool professionals and their customers.

The explosive growth of Orenda can be attributed to responsible education of industry professionals in the use of non-toxic and non-hazardous additives that prevent algae growth and staining without harsh algaecides and toxic alternatives. We offer bio-friendly solutions with science in harmony with nature. Our mission is to educate the industry and be responsible in part for improving water quality through knowledge and responsible prevention science.

Clarifies Cloudy Water

SeaKlear Natural Clarifier got its name because it was originally used by the U.S. Navy to clear seawater for underwater photography. Environmentally safe, nontoxic and biodegradable, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier contains a natural ingredient, chitosan, which attracts the organic debris that causes cloudiness in pool, spa and hot tub water. A floc or mass of organic material is formed and carried to the filter, where it is more easily removed.

Easy-to-use, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is an excellent clarifier. Each week, treat your water with SeaKlear Natural Clarifier specially formulated for pools or spas/hot tubs to improve water quality and clarity. With SeaKlear Natural Clarifier for Spas, use 1 ounce per 500 gallons of water, and with SeaKlear Natural Clarifier for Pools, use 1 ounce per 5,000 gallons of water.

Removes Excess Oil
Unlike synthetic, petroleum-based clarifiers, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier actually removes oils from the water. This unique, patented technology works with any pool, spa or hot tub system. Oils can be introduced when sunscreens, lotions and cosmetics are left behind in the water. SeaKlear Natural Clarifier works to encapsulate the oil molecules and holds them in suspension so the oil doesn't stick to pool and spa surfaces or filters. When filters are cleaned, the oil is removed in the effluent. The filter stays cleaner and lasts longer.

Removes Stain-Causing Metals
The unique molecular shape and electrical charge of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier allow it to entrap and aggregate heavy metal particles, including manganese, copper and iron, which have come out of solution. SeaKlear Natural Clarifier does not interfere with metal ions from ionizers and mineral-based purifiers. In fact, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier enhances these systems by removing the non-essential, stain-causing metals. One gallon of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier formulated for pools removes 1 part per million (ppm) of stain-causing metal in 20,000 gallons of water. Used on a regular basis at a rate of 4 ounces per 20,000 gallons, SeaKlear Natural Clarifier will help to keep metals in check.

Improves Filtration
Because the SeaKlear Natural Clarifier polymer is a "loose net molecule," it actually forms a subsurface over filters that helps remove organic debris and hold it above the filter media. Filters stay cleaner and work more efficiently.

A Natural Compatible Formula
SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is compatible with all sanitizing systems, including ozone, ionization and biguanide, and either bromine or chlorine systems. The main ingredient in SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is chitosan, a safe nontoxic fiber similar to cellulose that grabs suspended particles and removes them from the water.

SeaKlear Natural Clarifier is also available in tablets for use in pools and spas.

 

 

 

SeaKlear PRS is a patented, two-stage system proven to enhance filtration in pools, spas and hot tubs. SeaKlear PRS is now EPA approved to effectively trap Cryptosporidium in the filter thereby reducing outbreak risk.

We at DOWNTOWN POOLS have tested many systems and only use/recommend OZONE JOE'S!

What is Ozone?

Ozone

(O3) is a highly reactive gas composed of three Oxygen Atoms (O).  Ozone is produced naturally by sunlight and lightning. It is created in the Ozone Joe’s Ozone Systems, by passing ambient air over a VUV (Very Ultra Violet) lamp, which replicates the sun’s UV rays.  The UV energy from the lamp(s) splits Oxygen Molecules (O2) into single Oxygen Atoms (O).  The single Oxygen Atoms (O) combine with other Oxygen Molecules (O2) from the air stream to form Ozone (O3).

How does Ozone Work?

Ozone is a very unstable molecule, thus it reacts very quickly with organic and ammonia compounds that are easily Oxidized, such as sweat, urine, lotion, oils, bacteria, viruses and other organisms that nature and swimmers bring to a pool. Ozone is natures most powerful Oxidizer and reacts over 2000 times faster than chlorine. It is because of this powerful Oxidizing potential that pool owners are able to reduce the amount of chemicals (chlorine or bromine) by up 70-90%.

Once Ozone reacts with other compounds, it reverts back to its natural state of Oxygen (O2), thus the only by-product of Ozone Joe’s Ozone Systems, is life breathing Oxygen.

Electronic Chlorine Generator

The Aqua Rite is the easiest way for you to sanitize your pool, and keep your crystal clear and silky smooth! The Aqua Rite uses common salt (the same salt used in water conditioners) and converts it into "free" chlorine. The chlorine sanitizes your pool and then reverts back into salt. That's right, the salt is recycled and never wears out. With only a teaspoon of salt per gallon, the Aqua Rite produces enough fresh chlorine (up to 1.45 lb per day) to keep a 40,000-gallon pool sparkling clean without the chlorine smell. You'll never again have to worry about red irritated eyes, dry itchy skin, bleached bathing suits or green hair!
