pool unit 7.5k-20k gallons

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!

"The PoolRX+ 7.5k-20k Gallon Unit is a game-changer for pool clarity, but there is one thing blonde-hair families should know. Because this unit increases the active copper content to fight algae, it can tint very light hair green. Don't worry—it isn't permanent, but to minimize or prevent this from happening, just rinse their hair with tap water and put some leave in conditioner on it before they get in the pool. This simple step makes the product 100% worth it for the amount of time and money it saves on maintenance."

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’ve been using PoolRX for about three years, and it has kept my pool consistently sparkling with no algae issues at all. Living in Texas, the extreme heat really does a number on keeping pool chemicals balanced, but PoolRX has made that a non-issue. I replace it every 4–6 months, and it works quietly in the background without constant monitoring or extra effort. Before PoolRX, I was spending a fortune at the pool store on chemicals—easily five times what this product costs in a year—just trying to control algae. Now I use far fewer chemicals, save money, and enjoy a clear, low-maintenance pool. Highly recommend.

One of my buddies turned me on to this product and it is absolutely fantastic. I'm in Southern California and was using liquid chlorine in my pool, I had to add about a quart a day to keep the algae from popping up in the shaded areas (with pH around 7.6). This PoolRx has cut my chlorine usage by about 80-90% and there's no algae. Great product!

Pool RX+ is the only algicide that would remove the yellow algae in my pool. At right around 18,000 gallons, 1 unit worked for roughly 4 months (late June through mid October) during a crazy heat wave in Southern California. I'm talking 2 straight months of 95 degrees plus without a break. My pool was sparkling. It did not remove a little bit of black algae that sits atop the ring of the underwater pool light, but nothing a stiff bristle brush can't handle. That was the 1 star ding because it states that it will remove ALL types of algae. I should also mention my plaster is heavily pitted, and in need of replaster, so the algae really sits into the pits. So far, only yellow is gone. But it was GONE where other shock treatments would not work at all. A couple days after the treatment, my filter needed to be cleaned because of all the algae that it pushed through the system. After that, I replaced my old filter grids (they were very old) and had a perfect pool. Here we are at the 4 month mark and I'm going to purchase another unit because some yellow algae is resurfacing in the corners of the pool by the steps. While this product is in use, I was able to keep my chlorine at 1 PPM throughout summer, whereas before it had to be at 3-4 PPM just to handle the algae and it would still hang around. I'm confident Pool RX+ will take care of it for the duration of the cooler months until it gets hot again around May-June. I don't image using this product more than 2 times per year, but 3 wouldn't be a deal breaker considering the cost of annual chlorine. I should note that I am a CPO and take care of my own pool, so I monitor things probably more often than the average homeowner would who only gets pool service 1 time per week. This product is super easy to use for anyone and I highly recommend it if you are having problems taming algae with other algicides. Give it a try.

My pool guy had recommended this stuff to me and offered me a discount on weekly service if I let him use it in my pool. He charged me $90 a year for the PoolRx (which he didn't name, he just called it a "mineral treatment" and I later found out what it was) and discounted my service $10 per month, so it was a net savings for me, it made his job easier, and now I see it probably saved him money on chlorine, too. I later took over the pool maintenance on my own to save money and looked for advice online. I found a very knowledgeable community on a certain website that was full of great advice and pool care tips, but some of the more vocal, condescending members of the forum were very against using any type of mineral additives like Pool Rx and would ridicule anyone that said they were going to. It seemed that more than anything they were stuck in their ways, but they had some credibility and made some plausible arguments against it, so I followed the advice and was using only liquid chlorine to sanitize and keep algae at bay. I was having to shock my pool a lot more than I had liked and the algae still appeared in some areas even though I was keeping my pool at 5 ppm chlorine most of the time. That's higher than I wanted to keep levels at but algae would get bad if I didn't (and yes, stabilizer and Ph were ON POINT). I was going through a lot of chlorine. After about a year of this, I said the heck with it and bought the Pool Rx. Huge difference, right away. I bought the 7.5-20K gallon size for my 22K gallon pool because that was what my pool guy had used. It has worked great and I have had no algae and no problems with chlorine levels kept at 1-1.5 ppm through the hottest 4 months of a Phoenix summer. Chlorine has even dropped to 0.5 ppm a couple of times when I had to go longer than normal between servicing it, but I still had no problems. I have not experienced any of the negatives that the "experts" had warned about. No increased scaling or staining, no green hair, no problems with the pump or equipment. Just clear water, a pool that is easier to maintain, and a pretty good savings on chlorine. I added this canister in May and I plan to add the booster in October, then I'm starting over with another canister next May.

The PoolRX+ unit for 20,000 gallons has been a total game changer for my pool maintenance. Within days of putting it in, the water was noticeably clearer and stayed that way with far less effort and fewer chemicals. Algae that used to be a constant battle is now basically nonexistent. I love how simple it is just drop it in the skimmer and let it do its thing. It’s long-lasting, low-maintenance, and actually delivers on what it promises. My pool looks sparkling clean, feels better on skin and eyes, and maintenance has never been easier. If you’re tired of fighting algae and constantly adjusting chemicals, this is 100% worth it. Highly recommend!

Best algae treatment ever
