The Automatic Bromine Generator
Automatic bromine generation for hot tubs and
spas just took a giant step forward. The Genesis brand automatic
bromine generator is the smartest, safest, easiest and most cost
effective way to keep your spa safe and sparkling clear! Hot
tubs maintained by a Genesis system are virtually maintenance
free and use less chemicals. The technology, while taking years
to develop, is easy to understand, easy to use and is totally
hands free.
Make Your Spa Fun Again!
Why not spend your leisure time enjoying your
hot tub, instead of maintaining it?
Eliminate Bromine
Tablets and Floaters -
You'll never again have to buy, transport, store or load
dangerious bromine
tablets into a feeder.
Eliminate Quarterly
Draining - With
the Genesis, your water change interval can be extended up to a
full year or more. Many
of our customers have even gone several years with out draning! The
reason you currently have to drain your spa every three months
is because the total dissolved solids (TDS) in your water
increases every time you add chemicals. When the TDS gets too
high, your chemicals will not work effectively and you must
replace with fresh water. With the Genesis Generator, there is
no more buildup of tablet by-products (like the glues and
binders used to hold bromine & chlorine tablets together)
because the Genesis generates pure bromine.
Also, with conventional bromine or chlorine,
after the sanitizer molecule burns up an organic particle, it
turns into a bromamine or cloramine. These useless by-products
cause the strong chemical smell in your spa and increase the TDS
in your water. With the Genesis, salt is converted into bromine
which converts back into salt once it has done its' job of
sanitizing. This perpetual cycle does not create bromamines and
thus leaves your spa free of the cloudy, flat water attributed
to the buildup of the these chemical by-products.
Eliminate Regular
Shocking -
The biggest reason you currently shock your water is to burn off
by-products created by your sanitizer. Since these will not be
present when using the Genesis system, most shocking will not be
necessary. If you have a hot tub party and the bather load
increases, you can use a non-chlorine shock to increase the
bromine level. Alternatively, you can turn up the dial on the
Genesis system when the bather load is higher than normal.
Eliminate Scum Lines -
Scum lines are usually caused by inconsistent sanitizer levels.
Floaters will dispense more bromine when they are full of pucks
than when they are almost empty. As well, your bromine pucks
will not be effective if you miss a regular shock treatment.
(These inconsistencies cause scum lines to form.) With the
Genesis system, once you set the dial on the control system, you
will have consistent bromine generation.
Reduce Foaming -
Chemical by-products are a big contributor to foaming in your
spa. Because the Genesis system eliminates sanitizer
by-products, you will notice a drastic decrease in the amount of
foam in your spa.
How does the technology
work?
First, sodium bromide ("NaBr" - a close
relative to sodium chlorine - "NaCl" - otherwise known as table
salt) is added to your spa's water. The dissolved bromide ions
are circulated through a bromine generating contact cell located
in your spa plumbing. This converts the bromide ions into free
bromine (bromine is the recommended sanitizer for hot tubs and
spas) before reverting back to sodium bromide --- thus
completing the perpetual cycle. Additional sodium bromide is
only added when your water level declines due to splash out, or
when you drain and refill the tub.
The system's electrodes are comprised of high
density, ultra-porous "graphite". The controller operates at
extremely low DC voltages, resulting in the electrical cost of
operation at just pennies a day.
Synthetic graphite is utilized in the
revolutionary electrode cell, providing a surface area far
greater than available with metal electrodes. The GENESIS
electrode is made up of 2 of these unique and powerful plates.
The plates measure 1 inch wide by 8 inches long and 1/2 inch
thick.
The electrodes are virtually impervious to
harsh chemicals and the oxidation process. Still, over time, the
flow of water will erode the replaceable cell. The cell carries
a full five year warranty.
The system fits neatly inside any spa skirt
and takes a qualified technician just minutes to install! The
electrode cell is mated to a simple 2" slip X slip X threaded
Tee fitting and is then connected to the DC-out wires of the
controller. Less than 30 watts of total DC power is digitally
pulsed across the electrode cell, producing bromine from bromide
salt.
