Water Purification

About this technology

Overview

Catalytic Activity, Ionization, Filtration, Water Treatment, Cartridges, Pools, Spas The Vision Catalyst Purifier employs the basic technology developed by NASA to purify water aboard the Apollo spacecraft. However, it also uses an erosion" technique. The purifier kills bacteria viruses and algae by "catalytic corrosion." A cartridge contains a silver-impregnated alumina bed with a large surface area. The catalyst bed converts oxygen in a pool of water to its most oxidative state killing over 99 percent of the bacteria within five seconds. The cartridge also releases into the pool low levels of ionic silver and copper through a controlled process of erosion. Because the water becomes electrochemically active no electricity is required."
