Love our solar ironiser! When removing it from the pool, I capture it in a bucket, to contain all the sediment: I usually do this at least every wk, if not more, depending on the weather. Thanks for your informative video.
So the replacement ionizer and spring $53 on Amazon + the powder $34.99...thats about $90. I pay $6.50 a gallon for chlorine that's about 15 gallons (or in my case 15 treatments or 15 weeks or about 4 months). So cost wise not really much savings, however, the amount of chemicals your body is being exposed to is definitely less....I may give this a try...
@@PianoPraise2024 thx for watching DD. I didn’t check your math, but I trust u. U may be correct. I purchased 1 extra of the copper anode and spring and one cleaning kit. This is my second season with them, and I’m guessing I’ll get at least 3 seasons and the cleaner will last just as long. This year so far I’ve used 3 gallons or chlorine. U do the math. ROI? One year.
I know that your video and review is from last year but I have been on the fence about whether or not to use this in my above-ground pool and with your patience and knowledge of explaining it to the rest of us It has made me realize what decision to make and I thank you for that very much. I will be getting one of these and I want to say thank you for taking the time to inform the rest of us and sharing your experience and knowledge with us
You bet, and thanks for watching. You won’t be disappointed. I already have it in my pool this year. It’s the first thing I put in it. You will be amazed at the chlorine eating minerals this picks up, the first time u go to clean it. I also recommend the little cleaning kit. I actually purchased a second copper diode that I just rotate. While one is being used I clean the other. They will eventually need to be replaced once they are all “eatin” away by the minerals. Good luck.
@@asanga.k Thx for watching. It has worked wonderfully for us. This is year 2. I do have an inline chlorine tablet canister that I have at the lowest setting to help chlorinate my pool, and other than when my pool company opened my pool, I have used 2 gallons of liquid chlorine so far this year. Prior to this device, and with the chlorine tablets, I used to use a gallon per week. More if it was sunny out.
Bought a Remington Solar Ionizer last summer. Appears to allow greatly reducing chlorine need, which is good because chlorine prices have been exorbitant for several years (since a factory fire). My pool is large so will buy another. I think it works by dissolving copper and silver into the water. Algicides have long used copper sulfate (per label). Copper is also in below-waterline boat paints and some even use a copper liner.
Thx for watching April. Yes, you will want to get the cleaner and clean the copper and spring periodically. U will also have to replace the copper eventually. Over time it will be eaten away by all the bad stuff, which is the point. Thx, good luck.
Thanks for the review. I have an above ground pool. Just ordered a Remington solar ionizer.. should be here in a few days. Might look into the cleaner and cleaning powder. Probably just use the brush, for now. I saw another reviewer using the brush and white vinegar to clean.
@@jordanseverydaydiy4373 one more question.. If I shock the pool, occasionally, with a high dose of liquid chlorine.. do I need to take the ionizer out of the water until chlorine levels return to normal? Will shock level chlorine bother the unit?
@@chuckpeters1 hey Chuck. I don’t think so. But, if this helps maintain a better level of chlorine, why would u have to shock it? This should reduce the amount of chlorine that u use.
@@choupiechoupie1830 thx for watching. I have left it in all summer. I don’t know the ppm off the top of my head, but I have it on some copper test strips I use to test my water.
I have a caribbean clear copper ionization system on our pool, have had since we built in 2007. We DO NOT use chlorine never have no need to. Our pool stays clear all year. We do have to however use 1.5 gallons of clorox bleach in the skimmer every Sunday after vaccuum.
Sooo you don’t use Chlorine but you do use 1.5 gallons of chlorine each week after vacuuming which is close to what you would normally use without the ionizer. Why you need the ionizer then?
@@MLR-jw5em Thanks for watching. I have had no issues with staining. I keep the ionizer copper piece cleaned. Maybe 2 or 3 times per season. I purchased an extra one and just rotate them as I clean one. I have no complaints.
@@MonicaPacheco-rt3hc thx for watching Monica. I believe it would. You would want to research how long to leave it in the pool, and I think (not 100% sure because it was 20 months ago I bought this) there may be sizes? Related to gallons of water. You should investigate that.
Can you still use clarifier and alge control? I just like the way the clarifier makes my pool smell. And i got lots of pollen and such... algea control. I do it every 7 days . This copper is all new to be but I'm wanting to try it! Thanks. I subscribed!
Well Kent, thx for watching, but I tell u what, it’s definitely worth it. So far this year I’ve used a total of 9 gallons of chlorine. In a 35K gallon pool I was using about 1-1/2 gallons a week prior to this device. It’s crazy. Good luck.
Thx for watching. I’m not entirely sure your exact question, but there is a solar panel on the top of it. As it floats around your pool, the electric charge generated by the solar panel, basically attracts various minerals in your water, that lead to dirty water and eating of your chlorine, to the copper diode instead. It’s actually very slick.
Thanks Jordan, this year has been a pain to keep my pool clear. I didn't start hearing about the copper solutions until about a month ago..dang it! Can't wait to see what other videos you have on the youtube!
I have one also and i have chlorines tablets floating i checked my chlorine level and it was at .5 ppm and never goes higher is this normal does anyone know?
Thx for watching Marine. And thx for ur service if that’s what the name is for. I don’t know the answer to ur question. For the most part I just run the tablets as well, but when I do have to add a gallon of liquid chlorine it does ramp up. I use the strips so I don’t know the exact number put it does jump to pool high spa low. But I still use less than a quarter of the chlorine I used to.
@@marine1161your chlorine won’t get any higher without adding chlorine to the pool. This floater is capturing minerals that chlorine gets eatin up by, thus reducing your chlorine amounts. Hope that helps
@@DaleTate-v8p well thx for watching anyway. I don’t know what to say. This thing has been an absolute game changer in our pool. We even took our water to be tested last week, just to have a better test than the stops, and everything was good. Nearly perfect. A slightly (barely) high ph. I am so sorry this did not work for us. It’s possible it wasn’t charging or something. I would go back to the manufacturer. I’ve used 3 gallons of chlorine so far this year. Our pool is crystal clear.
No one has had high levels of copper when you test your water? Or is everyone using metal removers? Found out about ionizers last year, but have been on the fence.
Hey Julian, thx for watching. I’m sorry I don’t totally understand ur question. I do not have high copper levels (not sure why I would?) and in my research, this ionizer is what is removing the “metals” from the water by attaching them to the copper diode.
@@jordanseverydaydiy4373 I started using the ionizer, have not tested my water, but it does work great, even when my ph is high. I’ll update here. Either way, to the gentlemen with high copper, get yourself a sequestering agent, maybe something from culator, and the culator metal eliminator and pull that copper out.
@@davecullum9631some have silver in them as well to balance the ionization. Are you on well water or city, either way you may want to test what’s going into your pool. Also are you using a sand filter system or a cartridge, lastly are you on a saltwater setup or chlorinated?
Sorry Jordan you wasted your money and sadly many others on here will too.. I used the piece of copper pipe in the skimmer method many years ago and yes it works, no electricity needed, never any algae at all. However about 10 years ago I discovered Copper Sulfate and started using it. I have a 13k pool and use 1 tablespoon diluted a month. Never ever have I had any Algae since. No green hair, no pool stains on my gunite pool here in Florida. Stop listening to these people who don't have a clue, maybe they work for pool companies or don't even have a pool. So may gimmicks when this is the easiest cost effective solution out there.. Look at the ingredients of most pool Algaecides 5-7% Copper Sulfate. When you buy Copper Sulfate small crystals (Amazon, eBay) and dissolve it, it is 20% concentrate so don't think 1 tablespoon a month is to little, adjust if your pool is larger. That is all you need and you'll NEVER have Algae again. The key is Don't over do it thinking more is better, it's not. It does reduce the amount of Chlorine you use but not by a significant amount. Do the research, stop wasting your money.
First of all thx for taking the time to watch the video. Based on some of your comments, there may be a little confusion on your part. I’m not listening to anyone. What I try to explain in my video ( again, maybe I missed the mark based on your comments) is that this solar powered, very affordable ionizer SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the amount of chlorine required to maintain my 35K pool. By probably 75%. Significant money savings. And as a bonus. No algae. It has worked for me. I’m sorry for your poor experience in the past. Good luck.
@@jordanseverydaydiy4373 Jordan Copper Sulfate will cost you penny's a month will very little effort at all. I had neighbors who had this unit and they threw it away after using the Copper Sulfate for a month as I noted. Not trying to be critical but why waste your time and money when there is a much easier and better solution... You'll never ever have Algae, any kind ever again.

Can you reuse the cleaning fluid that you were using or is it one off use to clean the spring and copper piece?
Thx for watching. Great question. I believe it’s a 1 time use. U dissolve more of the cleaner each time according to the directions.
Very informative Jordan, learned a lot. Just found out about this device and started to explore if its worth it or not.
Well Kent, thx for watching, but I tell u what, it’s definitely worth it. So far this year I’ve used a total of 9 gallons of chlorine. In a 35K gallon pool I was using about 1-1/2 gallons a week prior to this device. It’s crazy. Good luck.
Is it harmful to the liner ?
No, not at all. I used it all last year and it didn’t do anything to the liner. What damage would u anticipate?
