“This is an excellent product in keeping the pool crystal clean with very low chlorine (using 1 aquafoot and 1 aquarius puck per week to maintain around 1ppm on a 30000 galon pool, 18x42). Although all parameters are within range ( PH 7.5, Copper 0.3ppm, TA 100, temp avg 80F), there is an invisible slime on the bottom and this seem to require shocking, or raising the FC to 5ppm at least to properly oxidize, as the pucks are not enough to keep the slime not forming. I have new sand in the filter, vacuum 2 times a week, after shocking the bottom feels normal but within a week it becomes slippery again, could be due to the mostly sunny wheather? There is little usage of the pool, myself and my wife using it daily for about 30 mins.”
Thanks for the great review Emilian! If you have any slimy areas, it usually means that there is not enough oxidizing which can happen in a low chlorine pool. As you say, the shock will clear this up. We recommending shocking weekly (or after heavy usage) to ensure that you don't have this build up. You can use chlorine or non-chlorine shock. Enjoy!
“When replacing my liner last year, I considered salt, then chose the ClearBlue Ionizer as it offered a really powerful alternative to salt or traditional chlorine. The system was dead simple to install, and after a few tweaks, it is now absolutely trouble-free. The water quality is extraordinary, and it has no taste or smell... just clarity. Mike Assad and his team have guided me along the way with a few phone consultations, and have always been timely and super helpful with their responses. A GREAT system - this is the next generation of pool care!”
“Seems good once you understand how it treats the water vs salt water system. It needs very different amounts of chemicals then most pool , and some pool stores had no idea what I was trying to explain to them. I think the instruction manual that comes with the unit could be a little more beginner mode user friendly. Other then that the water seems clear all summer and not much chemicals are added to maintain it”
“The ClearBlue Ionizer system is fantastic! Less chemicals, very easy maintenance and the water is clear with no chlorine smell or salt tasting.
After 2 summers using this system, we are very pleased and satisfied. Would definitively recommend.”
“this is my first season with my new pool and we went with the clearblue ionizer. I took a little while for the copper to get up to where it should be but once there it's doing great. I use very little chemicals and my pool stays crystal clear. I have the water checked every week and so far no issues at all.”
