PoolRX+ Pool Unit 7.5k-20k gallons

We live in South Texas. Spring and summer with pollen can be absolutely brutal to pool owners. I asked my dad how he keeps his above ground pool so clean year round. He told me about PoolRX. We would have starbursts shaped pollen marks all over our steps and shallow end of the pool. We put PoolRX in and I kid you not, we had a clear pool in 24 hours! I couldn’t believe my eyes! This lasts for 3 months or so for us. Not bad at all! Great value for the money spent. Blew my mind that this products worked so well that we didn’t have to add any chemicals. Just copper!

Best algae treatment ever

I’ve been using the PoolRX+ in our 15,000-gallon pool for the past few months, and it has truly been a transformative experience. For years, we struggled with relentless algae problems every summer, which made maintaining our pool a frustrating and labor-intensive task. Thankfully, the PoolRX+ has completely changed that. Installation was a breeze. I started by cleaning the pool filters thoroughly, which is crucial for optimal performance. Once the filters were clean, I simply installed the PoolRX+ unit into our pool filter system. It was as straightforward as promised—no extra tools or complicated procedures required. The results have been nothing short of amazing. Since adding the PoolRX+, our pool has stayed consistently clear, and algae has become a thing of the past. It’s remarkable how much easier pool maintenance has become. What used to be a major chore has turned into a quick and effortless task. We’ve also noticed a significant reduction in the amount of chemicals we need to use. The PoolRX+ effectively reduces the need for heavy chemical treatments, which not only saves us money but also creates a safer environment for our family. With the PoolRX+, our pool water remains clean and balanced with far fewer chemicals, which is a huge plus. The unit has proven to be durable and reliable, lasting between 5 to 6 months before needing replacement. This longevity ensures that we get through the entire summer season without any interruptions or additional purchases. One thing to note is that the PoolRX+ raises the copper levels in the water. While this is a natural outcome and not a major concern, it’s worth being aware of. The benefits far outweigh this minor issue, as the copper helps in maintaining algae-free water. In summary, the PoolRX+ has been an absolute game-changer for us. It has drastically improved our pool maintenance routine and allowed us to enjoy a clean, algae-free pool with minimal effort. I highly recommend the PoolRX+ to anyone dealing with algae issues or looking to simplify their pool care. It’s a fantastic investment that delivers impressive results!

PoolRx makes maintaining your water chemistry a snap, it's better than advertised!!!! It last six months per insert and they send a second insert for another six months!!!! I fired my pool guy because he wanted more money than I felt the job deserved, so I do it myself. I used that savings to install Aqualink Pool IQ. I can control my pool pump, Jacuzzi jet, pool & jacuzzi lights, and pool heater from my phone!!!!

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.
