TWINSTAR NANO for inhibition of algae

[TS168]

check this out.

[wongce]

interesting, is it available locally?

[TS168]

there a wesite http://twinstarnano.com/lang_en/
but i notice that taiwan selling it cheaper. maybe see who going taiwan can check it out.

Hi Wongce, have not seen it locally.

[Shadow]

interesting, how does it work? ultrasonic?

[AQMS]

Interesting... i will definitely get this....

There is nothing on the website or the internet explaining how the product work..and it annoyed me
and it is damn expensive.
Anyway here is a thread from uk aquatic plant society about the product.

nice find , had a good laugh after seeing this , suppose to on it 24/7 ?

Yeah me too, picture tell thousand word . There are lots of discussion, in the US forum as well and most of them considered it as snake oil because no one know how it work and the company does not willing to share the info.

Agreed. Picture tell a thousand words. I already email the UK supplier about my concern but the respond is disappointing.
Basically his respond is "for more information you also can check on the official web site."

[TS168]

yeah i not sure if it really work, maybe someone who has try can advise.

[AQMS]

Finally got some answers from one of the supplier...
here are the question and answer.

1. what kind of technology is this device using?
There are five factors of mechanism including plant ecology but we can't tell you because of company's secret.

2. Do i have to turn it on for 24/7?
Yes is works automatically itself

3. Does this device have effect on fertilizer like KH2PO4,K2SO4 ,MgSO4,NaHCO3 and KNO3?
No is not, is just helps to stop algae bacteria to grow.

4. Does this device change the water perimeter and temperature?
No. is sterilizing water in the tank.

He also said these..
"Please consider the "ion generation apparatus using plasma" is working principle of twin star. For example, what was the application of plasma technology in the air, nano and Purazumaku Yes Yes Yes Publisher star-flops which is mounted on the air cleaner and air conditioning - is famous for such as sanitization. Now it became to a "sterilize and remove mold and bacteria and viruses in the air", to hit an explosive. Mechanism of decontamination and sterilization is this, from the fact that to generate oxygen and active hydrogen, which is called ion exchange (atoms or molecules with an unpaired electron) radical in the plasma discharge.
It's based on the idea in other words to TWINSTAR, that kill and (decomposition or oxidation) destroy the protein on the surface this is adhered to, such as fungi and spores of moss. In fact, we are strongly sterilization and mold and bacteria Aeromonas bacteria by the action of (not able to be described in detail for each patent-pending now) special ion is in TWINSTAR. The TWINSTAR is the breakthrough product that you use in water plasma ion technology for the first time in the world.
※ It is a technology that "plasma ion technology" is scientifically proven, established worldwide. It does not matter at all with no substantiation at all with "negative ions", please be careful.

Will be going to hongkong next week. Sure recee this system from the local distributor there. When a system
cannot work as expected factor in 60% user problem into equation

I have a few question to follow up as well.

1) The plate thingy that provide the mist, does it need replacement? I suspect there are metal plates which react when an electrical pulse is delivered to it at certain frequency, hence the non moving parts. Previous technology like the Carbo Plus which introduce co2 in the tank water uses the metal plate and electricity to provide co2 in the tank but reports of tank side where the metal plate is located end up scaling like the inside of a kettle after prolong use of boiling water. I cannot verify the report, read it somewhere long time ago.

2) If it does not need replacement, that means whatever in the plate thingy doesn't decrease in size that it would be useless after a length of time. If it does need replacement after a period of time, the electricity + water + plate thingy is causing a chemical reaction similar to Carbo plus but different methodology.

3) When that thing is in operation, is it safe to us if we accidentally touch it? The green color enclosure might be preventing us from getting shock if we accidentally touch it?

Hmm, I'm thinking, is it possible to create cavitation underwater with metal plate to produce ion inducing air bubble mist without any moving parts? The control box might be where the electrical pulse is being generated at a frequency. These are just my own guesstimate.

[BFG]

Oops, I ish double tap.

[AQMS]

i was told that the shelf life of the product is 1 year.
about replacement parts, not too sure about that.
Actually the enclosure is white in colour, it turn green because of algae.

Came back from Hongkong but didn't see any shops using this product. Seems our local Green chapter will be bringing them in: TWINSTAR Mini and TWINSTAR Nano, anyone game to try?

[felix_fx2]

you trying?

[qool]

Likely ...... just need to know the Plate replacement issue and replacement cost. Whack first think later ...
