An innovation in pool cleaning will assist public and private swimming poolsto be very clean and hygiene, thanks to a new self cleaning tile. A company basedin Europe is working in developing a newspecial tile that "cleans itself", prevent bacteria and self removedirt.This revolutionary new technology is geared towards tiles which are used on thewalls and the bottom of swimming pool. This technology will be also applied inthe future to hospital surgery rooms, food processing factories and plats whichrequire extremely high standards of technology. How is it possible? What kind of technology? During the final coatingprocess the tile is plated with a special coating that has an active material.When the sunlight hits the tile it causes it to oxidize (because of the specialcoating) and then the bacteria and viruses are immediately destroyed. Moreoverthis active coating causes the water to evenly spread on the tiles - whichcause the dirt to be washed away. Swimming pool using this technology will lookand be much cleaner and hygiene.Still your swimming pool will need chlorine and maintenance but in minor quantityand frequency. This new revolutionary tile is expected to be out in market forsale in summer 2008, it will come in different sizes and colors, and the prospectiveprice is $45 per square meter. If the new technology found as effective asdescribed above you are expected to find it in the majority of public swimmingpools by 2010.
