History of the AquaZerve
Some years ago I entered the realm of the pool industry. As many others before me, I adopted and used the knowledge that was widely accepted in the industry to service and maintain swimming pools. In my region, the desert southwest, one of these accepted practices is the draining of swimming pools each year due to high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Each time I drained my pools I saw a terrible waste of a precious resource: water. After calculating the number of pools being drained, I realized that billions of gallons of water are wasted each year throughout the southwest.
The problem was how to control TDS in swimming pool water without draining. With extensive research and experiments I discovered that draining a small amount of water each day from the pool would control the TDS. I now had a quantity of water I could use in irrigation on a daily basis. My next experiments consisted of watering a variety of plants, shrubs and trees directly from the swimming pool. Contrary to popular belief, using chlorinated pool water on live vegetation was 100% successful. To date I have found no adverse effects to the plant life in my experiments. Since 1995 I have watered hundreds of plants, ranging from seedlings to large trees and each having the same results, THEY GREW!
These experiments produced more surprising results. By controlling the TDS in the swimming pool water, calcium buildup at the tile line and on the pool surface was significantly reduced or eliminated.
The water retained its crisp sparkling appearance and eye and skin irritation became a thing of the past. Hoses to automatic cleaners, cartridge filters, D.E. filter grids, and all related pool equipment have shown extended life. Staining has been reduced to a minimum and I expect the life of some pool surfaces to increase by as much as 50%.
The Aquazerve was designed to be small, inexpensive and effective. It has proven to be an excellent solution to a variety of problems. So...enjoy a beautiful pool and thank you for joining me in the conservation of our most precious resource.
