Coastal Pure Carolinas Swimming Pool and Spa Mineral Ionization

PRESS RELEASES

WILMINGTON FAMILY YMCA GO “GREEN”

Coastal Pure, the Carolinas leading Mineral Ionization Company has ionized the Wilmington Family YMCA pools and Spa. Mineral Ionization, along with low levels of chlorine will sanitize the facilities 185,000 gallons of pool and spa water. The new ion systems will replace a minimum of 50% -70% of the chlorine and additives needed to sanitize pool water. The commercial grade ionization systems emit small amounts of copper and silver ions into the pools for the purpose of bacteria, bio-film, and algae control, while reducing the hazards associated with heavy chemical dosing. The benefits are three fold. The YMCA will save tens of thousands of dollars in future chemical costs, bathers will enjoy superior water quality, as well as reducing chemical related damage to eyes, hair and skin and chemical related allergy reactions. Water discharged from the ionized pools will greatly reduce the chemical impact on the environment and surrounding ground water sources. Coastal Pure is based out of N. Myrtle Beach, SC and can be reached at 843-251-7564.

The Wilmington Family YMCA serves more than 8,000 people each year, including 2,000 children under the age of 18. Through a variety of programs and services focused on the holistic development of children and youth, and family strengthening, YMCAs unite men, women and children of all ages, faiths, backgrounds, abilities and income levels. The Wilmington Family YMCA has proudly served the community for more than 120 years by building healthy spirit, mind and body for all. For more information, visit www.wilmingtonfamilyymca.org

BAREFOOT RESORT HOA POOL GOES “GREEN”!

With the full approval and support of DHEC, Chicora Property Management & COASTAL PURE, Inc. installed a DHEC approved commercial Ionization system on the Greenbriar HOA pool located at Barefoot Resort. The pool holds 36 thousand gallons of water and is open year round. COASTAL PURE'S Mineral Ionization system is being used in conjunction with low levels of chlorine as a secondary sanitation method.

In early April, 2009, under the watchful eye of Rebel Pool Management (RPM) ,COASTAL PURE simultaneously lowered the levels of Stabilized Chlorine & chemical pool additives (always staying within DHEC minimum requirements) and raised the ion (copper/silver) levels to meet the DHEC required ion level. This process took less than one week. The six month test results are in, and the project has been a complete success.

Over a six month period of time, from April 2009 to September 2009, COASTAL PURE, DHEC & RPM monitored and recorded the results of this electronic water purification system. Keeping the pool water chemistry within DHECs acceptable minimal standards, RPM reports a solid 50% reduction in Stabilized Chlorine use and a 90% reduction in the use of chemical pool additives. RPM also reports that the pool water at the Greenbriar pool has remained clear, beautiful, & completely algae free. The ion system works very well with low levels of chlorine. “Homeowners and guests alike are very pleased with the exceptional quality of the ionized pool water, and are happy that the pool runoff water is not poisoning the surrounding environment”, says Anita Minervino, owner Coastal Pure, Inc.

In an early September budget meeting with Chicora Property Management association manager Mike Runser, Chuck Gornick, owner of Rebel Pool Management, recommended a 50% reduction in the chlorine budget and a 80% reduction in the chemical additive budget for the Greenbriar pool for 2010. In a positive statement to Coastal Pure, Gornick added that “as my confidence in the COASTAL PURE'S Ionization system grows, the 50% chlorine savings we had over the summer will most likely increase to a 65-70% savings this fall & winter. Gornick agrees that the largest chemical and money savings will be realized during the winter months, or “closed” season, when cooler weather prevails and bather load is at a minimum. Gornick also agrees that using the COASTAL PURE'S Mineral Ionization system is simple and easily managed. Once set, the state of the art technology automatically maintains the DHEC required level of ions. Ion levels are then tested using a simple liquid reagent test. Along with standard pool operating procedures, mandated by DHEC, the newly installed system simply “does its job”.

COASTAL PURE maintains that their electronic Mineral Ionization system, along with low levels of chlorine (and other DHEC mandated public pool maintenance procedures), is “The best secondary sanitization system that money can buy to protect swimming pools and water features from the constant threat of an algae bloom”.

EPA APPROVES COPPER AT ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT

Recent articles about global success written by NASA, the medical and scientific communities are now supplemented by additional major breakthroughs in health science. The EPA approves copper as an antimicrobial agent to control deadly infections. To quote the EPA, “For the first time, copper systems can be marketed legally in U.S. using public health claims”.

The Environmental Protection Agency by announcing this major breakthrough of approving copper in protecting public health and playing a key role in preventing infections was the result of extensive real world testing. Rigorous analysis by independent lab and hospital testing showed elimination of bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens within minutes. The list includes hospital superbugs (MRSA – Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), E. coli, streptococcus, fungi, influenza virus, bird flu, VRE (Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci), Acinetobacter baumanni, Clostridium difficile, molds, (Aspergillus niger), Legionella pneumophila. By using copper systems, we can help prevent over 2 million infections, save over 100,000 lives and the estimated $30 billion dollars in overall health care costs.

The variety of applications for our equipment is far ranging. It includes pools, spas, fountains, HVAC equipment, cooling towers, hospitals, food and potable water systems. We see the successful use of our ionization systems helping to solve the major problems facing our most vitally important natural resources, air and water, the source of life. By preventing and combating growth in water treatment systems, our equipment will play a major role in non-toxic environmentally friendly methods of insuring the public health in both public and private spaces.
