Zinc'd introduces copper and silver ions into your circulation loop at a controlled rate — an ecological mineral approach designed to reduce chlorine dependency while a residual of free chlorine remains part of responsible operation.
Cu
Helps control algae in the circulating water.
Ag
The primary ionizing metal in copper–silver ionization.
Zn
Contributes to biofilm control across the system.
Installed after filtration and before the pool return. Watch the chamber, then read the path.
01
Circulating pool water passes through the stainless water chamber, across copper, silver and zinc alloy anodes. Do not bypass the water-flow sensor.
02
A water-flow sensor detects flow before ionization runs, so the unit operates with the filtration loop — not against a dead line.
03
The battery-powered control (24 V DC, charged from AC 110–230 V) regulates a low-voltage current by PWM, introducing copper and silver ions at a controlled rate into the flow.
04
Copper is used to help control algae; zinc contributes to biofilm control — working alongside, not replacing, your residual free-chlorine program.
05
An LCD reports status. Copper, pH, and residual free chlorine are tested to stay in range — ionization complements sanitation; it does not replace it.
Illustrative — circulating water and Cu²⁺ / Ag⁺ / Zn²⁺ release under low-voltage PWM. Not a dosing calculator.
The supplied testing kit covers copper, free chlorine and pH. Historical silver-ion work in spacecraft drinking water is shared scientific lineage — not an endorsement of Zinc'd.
