The algaebar likely takes a bimetal molecular interface to work. Dielectric..like a thermocouple. I'd bet that a common clean shiny piece of copper flashing on an old electric stove burner will get hot enough to melt silver onto one side.
Attach a couple of feet of bare house wiring with a couple of plastic spacers to keep them parallel and not shorting together to an AC to DC transformer that's over 30 volts out and dangle that wire in the pool. Gut a whole house filter and insert copper plates or wire and put that in line with the pump output. ode At 09:09 AM 5/28/2005 -0500, you wrote: > >I've also use the algaebar (a copper bar with a silver band that generates >both colloidal copper and colloidal silver) but they are so small that you'd >need a bunch for a normal-sized pool. > >They are costly $25 each, but can probably be made cheaply from heavy copper >tubing with a band of silver around its center. > >The Floatron works well, but takes several weeks before the colloidal copper >builds to a level strong enough to kill the algae. > >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Ode Coyote" <[email protected]> >To: <[email protected]> >Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2005 7:13 AM >Subject: Re: CS>CS for Pools? > > >> Algebar >> Floatron [probably better than Algebar] >> >> Ode >> >> >> At 01:40 AM 5/28/2005 -0700, you wrote: >>> >>>I've read of using CS instead of chlorine for pools.
