Pioneering Healthier Pool Water Since 1973


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Intec America Brings NASA-Inspired Copper Ionization to Today’s Health-Conscious Pool Owners

Since 1973, Intec America Corporation has been at the forefront of water-treatment innovation, becoming one of the first companies in the world to commercialize copper ionization technology originally developed for NASA’s space missions

Transitioning to Healthier Pool…

.

More than five decades later, Intec America remains a global leader in chlorine-free pool sanitation, delivering healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable water for residential and commercial pools alike.


A Legacy of Science-Driven Innovation

Copper ionization was originally engineered for NASA to maintain safe, potable water aboard spacecraft. Intec America was among the first companies to adapt this breakthrough technology for everyday use, bringing laboratory-grade science into backyard pools

Unlike traditional chemical sanitation, Intec’s systems use electrolysis to release microscopic copper ions into pool water. These ions naturally destroy algae, bacteria, and pathogens without the harsh side effects associated with chlorine.


Why Intec’s Technology Is Different

Intec America’s ionizers are engineered with 100% high-purity copper electrodes, not copper alloys

. This distinction is critical:

  • Higher purity copper produces more stable ions
  • Reduced risk of staining or discoloration
  • More consistent water quality
  • Longer electrode life

A low-voltage current applied inside a sealed flow cell releases copper ions that circulate throughout the pool, providing long-lasting protection even under sunlight, heat, and heavy swimmer loads.


The Chlorine Problem

Today’s pool owners are increasingly concerned about the effects of chlorine on their families and the environment. Chlorine is known to:

  • Irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
  • Produce unpleasant chemical odors
  • Create harmful disinfection byproducts (DBPs) such as chloramines and trihalomethanes
  • Dry out hair, skin, and nails
  • Require constant chemical handling and storage

Copper ionization eliminates these problems at their source.


A Healthier Swimming Experience

Intec America’s chlorine-free ionized pools offer a dramatically better swimming experience:

  • No burning eyes or itchy skin
  • No harsh chemical odors
  • No harmful DBPs
  • Softer, clearer water
  • pH-neutral operation simplifies water balance
  • Gentler for children, seniors, and sensitive skin

Transitioning to Healthier Pool…

Many families report that hair feels softer, skin stays moisturized, and swimming becomes far more comfortable — even for those with chlorine sensitivities or allergies.


Environmentally Responsible Water Treatment

By eliminating the need for bulk chlorine and harsh chemical shock products, copper ionization significantly reduces chemical runoff and environmental impact.

Ionized pools also often require fewer drain-and-refill cycles, helping conserve water and minimize waste
