Solar-powered pool care
It floats. It runs on sunlight. It releases copper ions that hold algae back all season - so your chlorine has far less work to do. No wiring, no plumbing, nothing to install.

The problem
It's fighting algae. Take that job away from chlorine and you need far less of it.
How it works
No wiring, no plumbing, no controller to program.
Attach the copper anode and set the unit in your pool, away from the skimmer.
The solar panel converts daylight into a low current. It switches on at sunrise by itself.
That current releases copper ions from the anode at a slow, controlled rate.
Copper interferes with algae's ability to reproduce - so your chlorine dose drops.
Choose your size
Getting the size right matters more than anything else - an undersized unit can't hold copper level in peak summer.

The standard unit, and the right choice for most residential in-ground pools. One anode covers a full swim season.
45,000+ gallons
â â â â â 80 reviews
A larger anode and higher-output panel for big pools. One unit covers up to about 60,000 gallons.
Three measurements and under a minute. You'll get your volume in gallons and litres, plus the size that fits.
A solar ionizer reduces how much chlorine your pool needs. It does not replace it. Copper suppresses algae; it doesn't sanitize fast enough to keep swimmers safe on its own, so you still keep a small chlorine residual - most owners run around 1 ppm instead of 3.
Anyone selling you a completely chemical-free pool is selling you a green one by August. We'd rather you hear that now than discover it in July.
You'll also need to do two small things: test copper weekly with the included strips and keep it between 0.2 and 0.4 ppm, and brush the anode every couple of weeks so scale doesn't block it. That's about five minutes a fortnight. Do those and the unit works all season. Skip them and it won't.

Use less chlorine and keep your water clear. Solar powered, so just let it float in the sun. Comes with testing strips to check your levels and a brush to clean the copper - you must clean the copper to make sure it works properly.

This device extends the cleaning of my pool water for a longer period of time and reduces the amount of chlorine tablets I have to use for maintenance. I like it very much.

Placeholder - swap in a review describing a full season of use. Ideally one that names a specific pool size and says how much the chlorine dose dropped.

Keep it working
The copper anode dissolves slowly. That's the mechanism. Under typical use it lasts a full swim season, then a replacement kit restores the unit to full output.

Questions
No. It reduces chlorine demand substantially - up to 80% for most owners, but a pool with no sanitizer isn't safe to swim in. Expect to run about 1 ppm instead of 3.
Typically one full swim season. Strong sun, warm water and larger pools wear it faster. Before replacing one, brush it - scale buildup blocks ion release and makes a perfectly good anode look dead.
Not at the recommended level. Keep copper between 0.2 and 0.4 ppm and test weekly with the included strips. Staining and green tinting come from over-ionizing - pull the unit out if you go above 0.5 ppm.
It produces less on overcast days and nothing at night - output tracks sunlight. That's why you test copper rather than assume.
No. Copper is toxic to fish, snails and shrimp at levels far below what this unit produces. Use it in swimming pools and spas only - never in a pond, koi feature or any water containing aquatic life.
Yes. It reduces the load on your salt cell, which extends cell life. It also works with in-ground, above-ground, vinyl and fiberglass pools.
No. Remove it before closing, rinse and dry the anode, and store it indoors. Freezing water can crack the housing.
Free shipping, and 90 days to try it in your own pool. If your water isn't clearer and your chlorine bill isn't lower, send it back.
