poolrxpool unit 7.5k-20k gallons

I've been using this PoolRx device for almost a year and a half. It is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! Prior to this, I was using a floating Solar Shock unit which I purchased online from Costco. The Solar Shock worked well, but required weekly copper rod cleaning that was a PITA!!! It was messy, requiring you to scrape the copper rod with a wire brush, and soak the screen filter housing in CLR to keep it from getting completely calcified from hard water. During a calcium build-up cleaning by a professional company, I inquired about their weekly pool service (just to see what it would cost). When i got the quote from them, I noticed that they required that you have a PoolRx unit in order for them to honor the price they quoted. I had never heard of it, so I did a quick search and found that it's basically a MUCH BETTER version of the Solar Shock unit. You stick this item inside the pump basket. When your pool pump runs for normal cleaning, the chemicals inside this device disperse into your pool (it's invisible...no noticeable chemical smells or color). As these chemicals pass back through the pump basket, they interact with the copper rod located on the inside of the device and it actively keeps algae from growing in your pool. You still need to maintain some chlorine in your pool, but it has literally cut my chlorine usage IN HALF during the summer months in AZ. I went from 4+ chlorine tabs per week (in the 110+ degree summer months) down to 2. In the winter months, I use about 1 chlorine tablet every 2 weeks. I also have a unique "water wall" that acts like a high-end spa where water flows down the wall and creates a unique ambiance. The top of this water wall has a trough that stores a lot of water and during the summer months, that water can get NASTY in a hurry. I run the pump for this twice a day during the summer months to cycle the water, but with this PoolRx unit, a couple chlorine tabs and weekly shock treatments (necessary for my setup) my pool is crystal clear with absolutely no algae build-up (even when the water temps reach the 90s). Several summers back, even with the Solar Shock unit, I could not get the algae under control and eventually had to drain the pool, get it acid washed and start over. Take it from someone who has to maintain a pool in AZ, this thing WORKS! You need to add the refill chemicals every 4 to 6 months to keep everything working and you need to replace the whole PoolRx unit every year because the copper rod dissolves over time. For peace of mind knowing I won't have algae, the cost savings of 1/2 the chlorine usage, and it doesn't require maintenance...this thing is absolutely getting 5 stars from me. Hope this review helps.

I would love to say I'm a paid reviewer, because money! :)But I am here just to leave a real life user review. For the last 2 years, we've been dealing with horrible algae blooms here in Central Arkansas. Hot and humid breeding ground ideal for all types of algae, and it has been beyond control short of draining the pool and starting all over again. PoolRX was my last resort. And I am so glad I took the plunge, pun intended! The results began to show within 6 hours of installing PoolRX. It has made my pool crystal clear for over 2 weeks now. NO more algae blooms!! Regulated and reduced our chemical use by over half, so that alone makes it pay for itself! I will purchase this EVERY SINGLE YEAR to care for my investment.

Living in Florida having a pool which is not screened is a recipe for pool maintenance nightmares. Ive always struggled to keep algae growth in check, even doing what the water tests tell me to do, and running a robotic cleaner nearly non stop. THIS product appears to have fixed my problem. I brushed and swept my pool, cleaned the filter and put the device in my pump skimmer basket on May 30. By June 2 no more algae. How do I know it's working? I run a fabric pool sock on my pool skimmer which was basically staying green. Now it's just as white as it was when I cleaned it on June 2. FINALLY, SOMETHING THAT WORKS. By the way my neighbor told me about it, so I thought I'd give it a try.

This year we have been having issues with algae. My chemicals are right on I did have high phosphates but my chlorine pH alkalinity and everything else more spot on but I could not get rid of the algae even with multiple shocks it would just come right back. My wife saw this product on Facebook so I thought I would give it a try and I'm glad it did I have had it in there for over a week now and although it has been raining a lot I have not had an algae problem I would recommend this to anyone that asks.

I’ve been using Pool RX in my saltwater pool for a month, and the results have been fantastic! This little blue mineral pod has made a noticeable difference in water clarity and algae control. My pool stays cleaner longer, and I’ve been able to reduce chlorine usage without sacrificing water quality.Installation was super easy—just drop it in the pool pump basket, and it does its job. I’ve had no issues with scaling and cloudy water since using it. Highly recommend **Pool RX** to any saltwater pool owner looking for a simple, effective way to maintain crystal-clear water with less hassle!5/5 stars – A game-changer for pool maintenance!

My pool was cloudy for well over a week. Nothing was getting it clear and I was on top of everything. I set this up in the skimmer basket and within 2 days it was 90% more clear! BUT it appears that this little guy is too large for my skimmer because it doesn't seem to suck debris as well with this inside the basket (our pool has a very small 6" basket). So overall this seems to have worked very well but ultimately i have to figure out a different way to do it because is wasn't cleaning out the debris. For $50, I would still recommend this.

I think this is the fourth year I have used this in my dad‘s pool. We have struggled with algae every year and started using this three years ago. I don’t know how it works. I have no idea about the science, but all I know is I struggle no more with algae. The pool is crystal clear and beautiful and I buy a new one every year when we open the pool and I could not be happier with this product. For reference the pool is in ground and is approximately 16,000 gallons.
