Chlorine-free Sun Shock Pool Ionizer and Purifier Reviews

Singuy

My pool construction oasis't started and today I came across this picayune gem. Anyone ever used this? Does it work equally advertised? I will put in a simple chlorine system with tablets and forgo the salt arrangement if this thing works.

I have seen very positive reviews on homedepot.com and amazon.com. How magical is this affair?

Looks like it is probably a gimmick copper ion system, our general advice here on anything with copper in it is become running and screaming unless you like anyone with blond pilus having it turn dark-green. (and mayhap your puddle water if there are no blonds in your family unit).

p.s. I simply idea I should add together another reason why copper is bad, copper does a fairly expert task at killing algae, it however does not effectively kill leaner and viruses, Chlorine generally kills all three, and then we use the visible presence of algae as a proxy to show that the Chlorine is at constructive levels, once you add together metal ion systems then you lot may have clear h2o, simply it may not exist safe clear h2o as those not visible to the naked eye leaner and viruses may be thriving

I may utilise the common salt in conjunction with an ionizer if it reduces the need for me to castor the pool every week. I'll need to practice more than enquiry about staining. Some people say it'southward more prevalent if the pool is fiberglass. Algicide is expensive and doesn't seem to work all that well...not to mention shocking the puddle is pricey as well.

I went with a salt system to reduce maintenance. If this copper ionizer can reduce my maintenance further then more power to it. As long equally information technology keeps the algae at bay, so I'm happy. I don't demand to castor bacteria and viruses off the walls of the pool. Turning up the chlorine level will exist proficient enough...algae on the other hand is a hurting in the @##. I alive in FL and have to bargain with 95 degree conditions, high amount of dominicus, and 3 hours of rain daily. You lot can see how maintenance tin be more troublesome than normal.

The vast bulk of people here that follow the TFP method never use algicide or other magic potions and never have a dark-green pool, all you lot need is Chlorine, CYA, CH, and pH control. Algaecide, ion systems, Phos Gratuitous are all things that mask the symptoms of an out of balance pool and make the pool stores lots of money, it is far improve to fix the underlying problem and maintain proper chlorination than it is to spend boat loads of coin at the puddle store every month, at to the lowest degree it is better for the vast majority of pool owners that find in that location way here.

Singuy

What about overall price? I was thinking virtually putting the ionizer in, take chlorine level at 75% of normal, and run the pump for only 6h/day(17k gallon). Tin I reduce the runtime of my pump using the TFP method? Will it be more than piece of work for myself after it's all said and done?

There are lots of copper ion systems and this is i of them. Generally they suffer from two problems: They don't oxidize and they are dificult to quantify.

You demand two actions going on in your puddle. First you need sanitation. Killing the bad stuff. Chlorene does that really really well. And we can determine how much chlorine you need to have present in your pool at any given fourth dimension to keep the puddle sanitized. Y'all also need to oxidize or burn down off the organic matter that gets into your pool, peel cells, fecal matter from Johnny, the kid that lives downward the street ( Your kids are ever perfectly wiped up) and other assorted junk. Chlorine is as well practiced for at this.

A table salt pool with a SaltWaterChlorineGenerator is a chlorine pool. Adding copper to it will in theory allow you to reduce the amount of chlorine you are using. By how much you ask well that where the guesswork comes in because you deceit accurately examination on a daily basis your copper ion levels and continue your chlorine level that low while still keeping enough chlorine in the pool to consummate sanitation and oxidation.

The terminate result for well-nigh folks is that you lot stop upwards using every bit much chlorine as y'all would without the copper. Why because y'all can test and maintain a level that yous know is correct. You shoot for the level yous know volition work. Been there done that, thank you Nature two.

The second problem is that some folks, depending on water chemical science and whether or non they swim laps counter clockwise get copper stains. For some reason no Jandy equipment reps ever get copper stains. But the residuum of u.s. mortals have gotten them.

So if you NEVER want to daze your pool on a weekly footing. NEVER go in a pool store. And NEVER desire to hear your spouse ask why the pool surface has that chocolate-brown or greenish tint, stick with the TFP method. In that location are no guaranties in life, only I tin can read a volume on the lesser of my pool its so clear and I employ this method and am a chemistry idiot.

My variable speed pump running at 1100 rpm just uses 150 watts when skimming and making chlorine with the SWG. At 10.25c/kWh it costs about 13c per twenty-four hours to run the pump 8 hours. Many (almost) people at TFP only run their pumps virtually 4-half-dozen hours per solar day. More than here, Pool Schoolhouse - Determine Pump Run Time

gwegan

Running your pump for three hours a day is sufficient if that is plenty time for your SWCG to produce enough chlorine. Chlorine product is the limiter for run time on SWCG pools.

Where did 75% come from? (I'm on a rant) You have no reason to believe that that is sufficient chlorine to oxidize and sanitize. If you accept a party and the next day you want to increase your sanitizer, you deceit use 75% because the copper does not increase . Depending on how much CYA is in the h2o if you want to maintain chlorine at v% of CYA but yous need to increase your CYA y'all need more chlorine because the copper is not increasing.

Singuy, I was maintaining my pool concluding season with PoolRx (copper). It was supposed to last a twelvemonth, but my pool greened over winter (well-nigh 5 months into the PoolRx) and I simply started working to bring information technology dorsum a couple weeks ago. Algae fight with Leslie'southward ran me upward around $250 and I still have a green pool. I ordered one of the TFP recommended test kits and started following the SLAM procedure and using the pool calculator, and in just a day I tin can start to make out the bottom of my pool. Total cost using the TFP method so far is $33 in bleach and borax. I will probably finish up using about $15-21 more in bleach for the SLAM process and so will start maintenance. Personally, I like spending $50 to get the result I desire better than $250 and beingness no better off. The simply thing that really did anything from the pool shop was the conditioner which I am lucky the puddle store didn't over condition me, this is the one thing they got correct and put me a little loftier only in an acceptable zone for the TFP goals.

I may use the salt in conjunction with an ionizer if information technology reduces the need for me to brush the pool every calendar week.

I practice not understand how using an ionizer reduces the need to brush.

bpham

I was skeptical at start but after using it for 2 weeks, the algae I could not get rid off is gone! In improver now I utilise very little chlorine. Remember you lot would still need to utilize some chlorine but much less than before and no algea!

kimkats

BUT now y'all are calculation copper to your water and that can cause long term problems to the pool and people (blonde hair turn green). It actually is a shame every bit it does work but has such bad side effects it is not worth information technology over the long term.

sunflower_scent1

I was skeptical at kickoff only subsequently using information technology for 2 weeks, the algae I could not become rid off is gone! In addition at present I use very little chlorine. Remember you would still need to utilise some chlorine but much less than before and no algea!

Do you use liquid chlorine/bleach along with ionizer or tablets?

Strong_Lead

I bought 2 of them and absolutely love them!

Suffering through the worst drought in a century Californians did not accept the choice of mostly draining a pool to go rid of as well much conditioner. I had to maintain Cl2 levels above the highest concentration on the quick test kit to stop algae. No affair how many times I super-chlorinated, I had a abiding battle with algae. I saved the $220 or and so in Cl2 costs over the summertime.

Two of these units cured my chronic algae trouble without needing to bleed half or more of the water out of the puddle! Our wet winter helped past allowing me to release some excess h2o, but the algae problem was resolved before winter. During this summertime'due south rut waves--typically a dangerous fourth dimension for algae because the pool blows through Cl2 very fast while having intense sun light--I never had any algae issues. My copper anodes lasted xiv months, and just bought a replacement pair for ~ $60.

I can't recommend them high enough for those with chronic algae problems.

Just because your water is articulate of algae, does not mean it is safe. Using copper to prevent algae masks the danger of the FC being too low for your CYA to effectively impale pathogens in the h2o.

Glad you think they are working for you. Of course, there were other options. You could have saved a LOT of money and simply added copper to the pool, it would take accomplished the aforementioned affair. Of form, for the money you spent on these you could have also gotten a real exam kit and learned to properly care for your puddle. And then you would non have needed to constantly "super-chlorinate". That would have solved quite a few problems including your chlorine costs. Information technology has solved "chronic algae problems" without dark-green hair and staining for thousands, information technology would have worked for you.

Simply, you know, as long as your water is clear and you lot aren't concerned about all the bacteria and stuff in the h2o, then have at it. Meanwhile we volition continue to discourage anybody from using these horrible products while as well helping those who establish us too late and need to remove the copper stains from their plaster.

bukzin

I see Costco is at present (once more?) selling these units. Getting a ton of positive ratings.

Any new experiences from users here? Thx

No, considering nosotros don't practice metals.

Chemistry hasn't inverse, copper in the h2o is still a horrible matter to deal with. People leaving reviews on websites for pool chemicals are still as uninformed every bit they've ever been.

If you aren't following the FC/CYA Chart, and then you really should consider it.
