Remington Solar Chlorine-Free Sun Shock Pool Ionizer -Save on Chlorine! Algae Free pool!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 бер 2023
- The Remington Solar Chlorine-Free “Sun Shock” uses lower power output from the Solar Panels on the unit to generate ions which will keep your pool algae-free all season long. The Remington Chlorine-Free Sun Shock is an effective way to prevent algae in your pool and as a side benefit the Anode also attracts calcium and iron which will soften the pool water.
For those opposed to using any copper in your pool for fear of staining the surface, this is a safe method. It is very easy to control the Copper Ion output and if it reaches 0.5 ppm simply removing the Remington Solar will prevent any staining. In most cases, the copper level will rarely get that high.
The Remington Solar Chlorine-Free “Sun Shock” comes with everything you need in the box including copper test strips. It is important to test the Copper levels every few weeks just to make sure the levels stay safe. Again, if they get too high simply remove the product from the pool for a week or two. In my area of Southern California, the well water is very hard so the Anode developed a lot of build-ups while in use. So it is important to also check and clean the Anode every week if needed.
Some of the benefits of the Remington Solar Chlorine-Free “Sun Shock” are that with the Anode working (solar panels) it will prevent algae and kill micro-organisms. This means that if you want you can lower the chlorine level down to 1.0 - 1.5 ppm and run your pool with a low chlorine level. You can still maintain your chlorine at 3.0 ppm if you chose and the Remington Solar will still have the same benefits. Since it prevents algae you will notice your chlorine use drop by as much as 50% as algae is a big reason your chlorine is used up in your pool. If your pool has a continuous algae problem the Remington Solar would be perfect for you. The test pool has step areas that get no Sunlight all year round.
One unit is good for 22,000 gallons of water so if you have a larger pool you will need two units. They also now have an effective cleaning solution for the anode so maintenance is simple and easy.
From the manufacturer:
“This solar water purifier protects you by transforming your water into biologically healthy and algae-resistant mineral water. Using a safe and effective low-power output, the Remington Solar water purifier acts as a trickle charger to generate ions from the sunlight. Works great in either salt-water or non-salt-water pool systems! Enjoy swimming in the clearest, cleanest, and softest water imaginable, without the unpleasant smell or taste of chlorine!
The Remington Solar Pool Sun Shock water purifier is the only purifier that, in addition to generating beneficial mineral ions, collects undesirable minerals such as calcium and iron. This has the effect of softening your water.”

Best decision I ever made buying these years ago!
Had one of these on my route years ago customer bought it and it honestly worked really well even for a 45,000 gallon pool.
It works, and I want to love it, but the plastic screw holding in the basket is the weakest I've seen of similar products and breaks after the 2nd or 3rd cleaning. It's barely in (and far from where it needs to be to hold the basket) before it's failing. I went with Remington because the replacement anodes were cheap, but it's a hassle not having those wing screws available. I'd look to a different product unless someone can tell me what I've been doing wrong. Seems others have this issue too.
I will let them know to upgrade that screw.
You don't need the entire length of the screw. Cut the screw in half with a knife so that only about three threads go into the copper rod. The problem is that plastic is too soft.
Hi David. I first off want to say a big thank you for all your videos, they are amazing. I have learned so much. You really need a patreon or something so we can support your channel and say thank you for all the work that you do.
I have a question. What is the difference between the solar ionizer and the PoolRx. My understanding is they both introduce copper to control algae. Is the difference that PoolRx reduces chances for copper staining?
I’m thinking of first using the Culator for a month to clear out any excess copper and metals, and then introducing some copper via either an ionizer or PoolRx.
What would you recommend in your expert opinion?
Thanks,
Andrew
Similar. PoolRx is easier to use but this also removes calcium.
if using a well to fill pool definitely would try to watch all metal levels . Also I better watch low ph cause the copper will come out into pool quick
Why not just use a copper algaecide, which allows you to carefully dose the amount of copper in the water? Also, will the return jets push the device into the skimmer?
This releases it slowly over time and also attracts the calcium
@@SPLthank you!
Why would somebody consider this Remington solar ionizer when PoolRx+ can is half the price, maintenance free and no electronics to break? They both need periodic anode replacement. Is there ANY advantage to the Remington product?
There are some advantages. The anode collects calcium and iron from the pool water. For the pools with a Multi-cyclone the PoolRx minerals cannot be distributed. The only replaceable part is the anode on bottom.
@@SPL I keep the Calcium Hardness at 350ppm for my plaster pool that was resurfaced 3 years ago. Can you explain why I’d want to add an anode that removes the calcium if there’s no excess. I’m a bit confused by that feature
@@drdrew3 It's just a feature that the anode creates. Not a specific design but a side effect of sorts. Here where calcium hardness is 500 in a new fill that is not a bad side effect. It's pretty popular and even sold at Costco.
@@SPL so this will allow less use of chlorine ? Our just prevent you from having to shock it
Let’s just say I have a pool that uses 5 tabs in summer, will it cut it down to 3 or 2?
Works great to keep water clear and algae free but turned my walk in white steps orange below water line. Help!!!
Add 2-3 bs of ascorbic acid powder from Amazon.
@@SPL Thak you!
When first opening the pool Do you have to put chlorine in the pool first before adding the ionizer?
Chlorine should be at 3 ppm at least before using this.
Can the copper damage a pool heater/equipment? I just bought one and I’m in the fence.
It is safe to use with a pool that has a heater.
Do you have to take unit out of pool when adding chlorine?
No. It's compatible.
Which is better Pool RX+ or Pool ionizer for algae?
Both are very effective. The PoolRx+ is a bit easier to use. But the Ionizer has a longer lifespan and also extracts calcium.
Can you use it with PoolRx or is it a replacement?
Not compatible with PoolRx.
How much calcium will this product remove from the pool?
It depends, but in my testing quite a bit. There are no real numbers but you will see the copper anode get quite calcified.
Have you tried hammerhead remora?
Not yet. Bottom Feeder still makes more sense.
I agree. Can beat cordless
something people don't mention about this, is you're supposed to use less mineral and ph additives with this (technically they recommend you don't use any) so you actually end up saving more. I just have no idea what the levels of the pool water are supposed to be now, when you go take your water to get it's free test.
Do you still use shock with this?
You can shock a pool with this in it if needed but more than likely if your water is balanced there is no need as this prevents algae.
Too bad I keep my solar cover on when not in use. This would help cut the cost of chlorine
Could you cut a hole in it the same size as the tube that goes under water?
Probably can set it in one area just outside the solar blanket.
What about bacteria...
Yes, copper ions can kill bacteria but I am not sure the range or effectiveness.
This is a reason why you want to maintain .5-1ppm per CDC guidelines to kill bacteria. So, your small dose of chlorine will kill bacteria and the copper will kill the algae. At least that's what I have been able to research and come to a conclusion on.
