Purify your pool and cut chlorine usage by 80 percent at the same time with this solar-powered pool purifier from Floatron. No more bleached hair, itchy skin or red eyes, powered by solar energy, the pool purifier releases mineral ions that clean the water rather than nasty chemicals, so you enjoy swimming in the cleanest, softest water imaginable, without the unpleasant smell or taste of chlorine. Effectively cleaning pools up to 40,000 gallons, the purifier's advanced solar panels generate their own power, so there's no increase in the monthly electricity bill.
A low-maintenance pool purification system that reduces chlorine use by upwards of 80 percent, this completely safe and non-toxic purifier releases mineral ions into the water as it floats across swimming pools. While the mineral ions are absolutely harmless to you, they effectively halt the growth of algae and other microorganisms, making the water so clean that it falls within the EPA established drinking water standards. The unit is so safe that you can even swim with the unit operating in the pool without hampering the purification process or harming health.
Unlike chlorine, which quickly loses potency, the mineral ions remain effective for weeks without evaporating. Great for keeping water fresh in pools that are covered during the off-season; the purifier begins producing ions immediately after being placed in a pool with sun exposure. The unit produces ion levels sufficient for pool purification within two weeks (depending on pool volume). Completely safe, the unit's solar panels produce very little electrical current, so there's absolutely no potential for electric for optimal safety.

Beats chemicals and just keeps working,
By Peter Aleff "recoveredscience.com" (Vineland, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Floatron Natural Pool Cleaner Algae-free No chemicals (Toy)
I have used this Floatron for over ten years in a twelve-foot aboveground pool in South New Jersey and am very satisfied with its performance. I just left it floating all the time, and it kept the water free of algae and turbidity to the point that I used chlorine only once in Spring after removing the winter tarp, and once more in late Fall before putting the pool cover back on and disconnecting the pump. In all those years, I had to replace the copper electrode twice, at $50.00 or so each time, but I guess chemical treatment would have cost more in money and maintenance time.
The only slight cons are that when my children were younger and practically lived in that pool during the swimming season, their blond hair seemed occasionally to get a slightly greenish tint, and some white T-shirts showed the same coloration, but it was slight and never bothered us. Also, the rubber bumper strip around the Floatron's circumference came loose and split, and I had to caulk it back into its groove. Some of that old Floatron's photocells look discolored now, as if water had leaked into or around them, and last summer I had to use chlorine a couple of times to keep the water clear. I guess therefore that this Floatron has reached the end of its lifespan, and I am replacing it with a new one, but the old one has served us well and fully earned its retirement.

Love the Floatron,
By Mrs. S (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Floatron Natural Pool Cleaner Algae-free No chemicals (Toy)
Live in Albuquerque, NM. Have a 15 x 30 feet inground vinyl-lined pool that came w/ the house 10 years ago when we moved in. Sick of chemicals and trying to get the right balance and kill the algae I saw starting to grow. The Floatron (though I didn't get it from Amazon) came with a 3-month guarantee, so I thought I'd try it through the summer months. It was wonderful. Water feels so good and you don't smell chemicals. A friend locally said my pool is the only one she will swim in. Only need a trace amount of chlorine to burn off and some baking soda to up the pH from time to time. I recommended this to our neighbor with a gunite pool and a friend w/ an above-ground pool. Both still use it. The friend w/ the above-ground pool said she could never get her water to clear despite the Baquacil (sp?)type products. The Floatron cleared her pool. My husband was skeptical until we gave it a try. We have saved so much money, and I don't know why this product hasn't taken pool stores out of business with all their chemicals. The copper ions emitted take care of algae, bacteria, etc. It is so easy to open and close our pool. The copper core lasts us 2 years. A new one just screws in and doesn't cost a whole lot. e-mail me if you have questions at [...]

Floatron works as advertised,
This review is from: Floatron Natural Pool Cleaner Algae-free No chemicals (Toy)
Ive had the Floatron in the pool for the last 4 weeks and there is absolutely no sign of algae. The water is crystal clear.
I use 1 3" chlorine tab is the skimmer per week, though Im not sure if its necessary. FYI the pool is above ground 4 x 24.
