Sarasota Green Marketplace
Mary Anne Bowie, FAICP opened Sarasota Green Marketplace on March 28, 2007 serving Sarasota and Southwest Florida. SGM has received the Green Spec listing by Building Green and is the 23rd listed Green Building Retail Store in the country, Sarasota Green Marketplace “Your Green Home and Green Building Center” is located at 2864 Ringling Blvd., in Gold Tree Plaza. Sarasota Green Marketplace is committed to bringing you environmentally safe and people friendly products to enhance your home and our planet. Sarasota Green Marketplace offers products that help you go “green” one step at a time, from a light bulb to a whole house or guest house addition.
Sarasota Green Marketplace carries the floatron Solar Powered Water Purifier. floatron combines solar electric power generation with ionization, resulting in the only solar ionizer manufactured today.By introducing atomic amounts of specific minerals into water, microorganisms such as algae and bacteria cannot survive. While these ions, or atoms, are completely safe and nontoxic, microscopic life forms cannot exist under their influence. Unlike chlorine, which loses potency after only hours, the mineral ions produced by the floatron remain effective for weeks. When floating on the water, sunlight is converted into electricity by floatron's advanced technology photovoltaic panel. This harmless, low power current energizes a specially alloyed mineral electrode below waterline, causing the release of mineral ions into the surrounding water. Ionized water, referred to as mineralized water, naturally and efficiently controls microorganism growth in your pool. An 80% reduction in chlorine / oxidizer requirement is typical. Other oxidizers may be substituted such as bromine, hydrogen peroxide or oxygen based compounds, which are readily available at most pool supply stores.Swimming with the unit in the water is perfectly normal, and eliminates the irritations, odors, and bleaching associated with chlorine. floatron ionized water mineral levels fall within EPA established drinking water standards and avoids the toxicity of high chemical concentrations. Unlike chlorine, hot summer conditions do not degrade the performance of the mineral ions; in fact, the hotter it is the better it works!
