Important Update
Hospitals worldwide are starting to use Copper / Silver orca disinfection systems in an effort to combat bacterial issues and improve water safety.
We have discovered that there is great potential for staining with the Copper / Silver orca disinfection system
Copper-silver ionization systems introduce trace amounts of copper into the pool water.
In some cases, exposure to elevated copper levels can lead to staining of the sanitary ware and other surfaces, such as walls, floors, or fixtures.
Please note that staining caused by these systems is NOT covered by our guarantee.
If your hospital is using one of these water treatment systems we suggest that you contact the department responsible for water safety as regular monitoring and appropriate copper levels are essential to mitigate the risk of staining.
