    The Floatron is a solar powered copper/silver ionizer. It puts copper and silver into the water (similar to a Nature 2 or but it is an electronic ionizer). Hardly chemical free and still needs to be used with chlorine as a residual sanitizer.

    Yeah, it's like instant water: Put this stuff in a glass, add water and Voila! you have water!

    There's no free lunch, but there always is someone who's trying to convince you there is--and will sell it to you!

    Carl,
    I sell instant water and it works! Wanna buy some? (It's great for cleaning tinfoil hats but you DON"T want to mix it with DHMO or you will have all the bad effects that DMHO can produce!)

    Sure! Do you take Rubles left over from the Soviet Union? Or Confederate dollars??? Barring that, can I pay you with three-dollar bills?

    The three dollar bills will be acceptable. But only if you are wearing a tinfoil hat.

    Bunch of skeptics! put that in your pool right beside your similar frisbee for solar powered SWG (yet to be developed), and add the salt generating frisbee (also yet to be developed) and you'll have a chemical free pool.

    Are wrinkles in the tin-foil OK?

    I can have a chemical-free pool tomorrow. But I won't be able to swim because I'll have drained off the MAIN chemical......
