ION40 – Puronizer Ionic Purifier for Pools up to 180 m³ (40,000 gallons)
The ION40 Puronizer is a British-designed ionising purification system engineered to sanitise pool water using copper and silver ions. It offers low-maintenance operation, substantial chemical reduction, and consistent high water quality for domestic pools up to 180 m³.
System Overview
Water passes through an inline electrode cell where copper and silver ions are electrochemically released. These ions target bacteria and algae, providing effective sterilisation that lessens reliance on chlorine.
Key Features
-
Ionic Sanitisation: Releases copper and silver ions via electrolysis to effectively control microbiological contaminants.
-
Chlorine Reduction: Reduces chlorine consumption by up to approximately 60%, making it ideal for individuals with chlorine sensitivity (e.g., asthma sufferers).
-
Silent, Low Maintenance Operation: Virtually noiseless in operation and requires minimal upkeep once installed.
-
Plug-and-Play Installation: Compatible with standard 1.5″ BSP or 50 mm pipework; typical installation takes less than 1 hour.
-
Operating Limits:
-
Voltage: 110–220 V AC, 50/60 Hz
-
Maximum working pressure: approximately 2 bar
-
Maximum water temperature: 45 °C (110 °F)
-
Suitable Applications
Ideal for domestic pools with capacities up to 180 m³ (≈40,000 gallons) — especially in holiday homes or indoor pools with intermittent use. It is particularly appropriate where swimmer comfort and chlorine sensitivity are considerations.
Benefits
-
Enhanced Bather Comfort: Minimises skin and eye irritation commonly associated with chemical sanitisation.
-
Economical & Environmentally Friendly: Decreases use of chlorine and other pool chemicals, lowering both operating costs and environmental impact.
-
Cleaner Water with Fewer Shocks: Consistently maintains algae-free, clear water with reduced chemical adjustments.
-
Durable Quality: Built in the UK to standards that ensure long-term, reliable performance.

Safety & Operational Guidance
While the Puronizer dramatically reduces chlorine requirements, it is recommended for pools that are used infrequently or by occupants with sensitivities to occasionally perform a shock dose of chlorine before swimming, and to regularly check pH and free chlorine levels
