Nature’s Technology, Nature’s Energy: Why Going Green is the New Blue
Apcan Hydro chlorine-free pool maintenance system was engineered with one goal in mind: safer swimming pools.
Better for people and for pools, Apcan Hydro is a planet-friendly, sustainable, and affordable chlorine-free pool maintenance system. Achieve the cleanest, clearest chlorine free pools with nature-inspired technology that makes it easy to safely and effectively control water quality, remove pollutants, and eliminate bacteria.
Why Chlorine-Free Pools?
Chlorine became the standard water treatment in the 1950s. Since then, standards for pool maintenance have stagnated, not keeping pace with scientific innovation.
Chlorine only seems to be an inexpensive water sterilizer. There are actually very high hidden costs: chlorine is a corrosive, deadly chemical that causes well-documented health problems, harms the environment, and corrodes pool equipment.
Apcan Hydro solves these problems. The Hydro Chlorine-Free Pool Maintenance System is non-toxic, so the health risks of exposure and contamination from chlorine are eliminated. Apcan Hydro products are engineered to be sustainable, non-corrosive, planet-friendly—safe for swimmers, the environment, and pools.
Why Apcan Hydro Chlorine Free Pool Maintenance System?
All pool owners want clean, clear swimming pools. We’ve engineered our Apcan Hydro product line to make it quick and easy to maintain chlorine-free pools without the danger and expense of harsh chemicals.
Inspired by the power of nature, Apcan Hydro products use UV light and a polarized hydrogen peroxide oxidizer to maintain a safe balance in the water and to combat organisms that man-made chlorine cannot effectively treat.
How to Maintain a Chlorine-Free Pool
The Apcan Hydro Chlorine-Free Pool Maintenance System is an easy, four-part process. Learn more about each product:
HydroUV uses ultraviolet disinfection to treat pool water
HydroSyl is stabilized hydrogen peroxide that replaces toxic chlorine
HydroSkim is the world’s first 100% green solar-powered robotic pool skimmer

A Refreshing Dip in a Chlorine-Free Pool
The benefits of an all-natural, chlorine-free pool are clear in the refreshingly clean and healthy water of your swimming pool serviced with the Apcan Hydro chlorine free pool maintenance system.
Apcan offers a complete line of products engineered to be sustainable, affordable, and easy to use: HydroUV, HydroSyl, HydroSkim, and HydroStrip work together for the best complete chlorine-free pool sanitizing maintenance system. Want to try it for yourself? Call us at 702-260-9000 or send us an email and see for yourself how easy it is to maintain a safe, 100% chlorine-free pool.
Why Chlorine-Free Pools?
Chlorinated water is harsh and irritating, bad for swimmers, bad for the environment, and bad for pool surfaces and equipment. Chlorine became the standard water sanitizing treatment in the 1950s. Advances in science and technology as well as improved health studies since the 1950s have led to safer, better methods of keeping pool water safe and healthy, but industry and government standards have stagnated. Outmoded standards are the reason most people assume that chlorine is the only way to keep a pool safe.
While chlorine is an effective water sterilizer, it is also a dangerous chemical that requires extremely careful handling and stringent monitoring. It doesn’t just dry out swimmers’ hair and skin—well-documented research shows that chlorine is strongly associated with serious health problems. Kids are at the most risk: toxicologists have found that kids’ developing respiratory systems put them at high risk for developing allergies, asthma, and other breathing problems from inhaling chlorine and absorbing it into their skin while swimming.
The health risks are worst when the chlorine used to disinfect a pool comes into contact with sweat, saliva, and other organic compounds: this forms unsafe, irritating, and unhealthy chlorine byproducts.
We think there’s a better, safer way to keep swimming pools clean.
Our focus is simple: design sustainable, environmentally-friendly products that make swimming pools safer.
With Apcan Hydro chlorine free pool maintenance products, your pool is safe, clean, and beautiful. We’ve designed our products to be easy to use and cost-effective, saving you time, money, and risk of exposure to toxic chemicals. Ask your pool builder to use the Apcan Hydro line for a refreshingly clean experience or give us a call at 702-260-9000.

5 Products that Make it Easier to Manage Incontinence and Bladder Health in 2012
Neenah, Wis. (PRWEB) November 21, 2012
2012 saw exciting product advancements that make it easier to manage incontinence and bladder and skin health, says Lynn Wilson, Founder of The CareGiver Partnership, a national retailer of incontinence products and other home health care supplies.
?With November being National Bladder Health Month, it?s an ideal time to recap some of the new items this year designed to improve normalcy and dignity, comfort, convenience and health,? says Wilson. ?It?s important to us that we not only offer our customers the latest advancements in incontinence products, but also carry products that offer great value.?
1. Elyte pads are 100% cotton incontinence pads designed for wearers with sensitive or allergies. Hypoallergenic Elyte pads are ideal for women who experience sensitivity to chlorine-bleached wood pulp, dyes and inks, and other chemicals. Because they?re all-cotton and superabsorbent, they absorb up to 20 times their weight in liquid, are soft and breathable, and are made with sustainable materials that are better for the environment.
2. The Akord Disposal System is a step-and-drop method of disposing of adult diapers, briefs, and other incontinence products cleanly and discreetly. Advanced odor-control features include liners on a continuous roll that can be cut and tied at any point, rubber-seal lid and spring-loaded trap-door system.

Whether a woman is managing incontinence, physically active or has recently given birth, products like Stride Everyday Panties offer light leak protection in cotton underwear. Stride also makes boxer briefs and classic briefs that look like regular underwear but protect even the most active men against light bladder leaks.
4. SoSecure Containment Swim Briefs for are unisex reusable swim briefs that allow people of all ages with bowel or urinary incontinence to enjoy water activities. SoSecure briefs are worn under a swimsuit for discreet protection for adults and teens, or can be used as a cover for children of diaper-wearing age. Briefs can be custom ordered and are available in navy or kid-friendly designs.
5. SmartBrief is an intelligent adult diaper with sensor technology for skin health and cost savings. A patent-pending sensor and software alerts staff in nursing homes and skilled care centers when an adult brief needs to be changed. SmartBrief technology has the potential to reduce facility costs while improving skin health in wearers. It will be offered to brief manufacturers once clinical testing is complete. In addition, SmartBrief creator Gweepi Medical is researching cost-effective ways to apply the software to a home care setting.

Haworth Opens Its Doors to Billy Hyde Customers to Ensure Christmas Demand For Musical Instruments is Met
(PRWEB) November 21, 2012
Following the closure of Allans Billy Hyde stores across the country, Australian music retailer, Haworth Music Centre, has sought to reassure the community that the Haworth team is well prepared to satisfy the Christmas demand.
The last of the Billy Hyde stores closed earlier this month, following their parent company, Australian Music Group Holdings, being placed into receivership.
?Watching the demise of of Allans Billy Hyde has been very sobering for us at Haworth, and has left a big gap in the Australian musical instrument retail market,? said Glenn Haworth, the businesses General Manager.
?While Billy Hyde commanded 24% of the local market, it also had over 500 staff and 25 retail stores. We have just one store – but we also live in the 21st century, and have a dynamic online retail presence. Through our website we are able to reach out to customers across the country, and deliver friendly and time-sensitive responses to enquiries,? said Mr Haworth.
While maintaining a strong online presence, the Haworth philosophy is very much about ?community?, and its team is looking forward to welcoming Billy Hyde customers into that community.
?We are still a family business, one that was created by my father, Phil, who is a highly regarded luthier – a stringed instrument maker,? explained Mr Haworth. ?Every member of the Haworth team has a passion for music, and an area of specialty, and we are all looking forward to having former Billy Hyde customers join our community.?
The two-level Haworth Music Centre, a short drive south of Sydney, has become a mecca for musicians, boasting the largest drum room in NSW, and a specialist repair workshop.
?We stock an impressive range of instruments, including Maton and Fender guitars, Legacy Electronic drum kits, Casio keyboards and Behringer amps, and have unrivalled expertise in the service and repair of instruments.?
In the lead up to the busy Christmas season, the Haworth team is on hand to help customers, old and new, with their musical instrument shopping needs.
About Haworth Music Centre
Luthier Phil Haworth established Hayworth Guitars in 1999, with a focus on building and repairing stringed instruments. In 2000 the transition from workshop to retail space was made, and in 2008 the two-level Haworth?s Shellharbour Music Centre, with adjacent Warehouse, was opened in Albion Park Rail, just south of Sydney, Australia.
Phil has returned to his love of guitar-building and the business is run by his son, Glenn, who in 2011 became General Manager. The Haworth team is comprised of young people who are passionate about music and musical instruments.
Haworth?s ability to remain very competitive in an online world rests with its warehousing capabilities and strong online presence.
