water filtration

[tony]

Dear Antonio,
I don't know what system you use to filter out the bacteria in your floatation tank design. I did hear from one source that ultra violet light kills bacteria. Perhaps a clear tube that the circulated water passes through could be surrounded by several ultra violet lamps?

Hello
currently i use lithium chlorine (spa product that does not smell) and the solution is filtred with a water cartrige (5 microns) once or twice a month.

The Epsom salt is a hard crystaline environemt for bacteries.

I have check a litle bit for u.v light for in order to be effective the water has to pass slow enought.

So for me a prefert lithium chlorine ( kills bacteries).

I've used bromine in the past, but now I'm using plain ol' hydrogen peroxide. About a tablespoon a week does a great job!!

Hello
Ruston

hydrogen peroxide? is it used in spa or is it a general bacteria killer?

It is an anti-septic. It's used for cuts and scrapes. I've been told in Europe a few drops are put into their milk and they don't have to refridgerate it. (I lived in Berlin for a couple of years and can attest to that.) Also, a local float center told me that they use hydrogen peroxide. A 16 oz. bottle will last for months and only costs a dollar.
