pool rx for eliminating algae and reducing chemical demand in swimming pools

Elevate your pool maintenance game with the PoolRx+ Mineral Purifier - a self-contained, EPA-registered solution engineered to keep pools of 7,500–20,000 gallons crystal clear and algae-free for up to six months per unit.


What Is PoolRx+?

PoolRx+ is a patented, mineral-based algaecide cylinder packed with a proprietary blend of copper sulfate, zinc sulfate and silver nitrate. As water flows past the treated alloy core, these minerals dissolve, creating a stable residual that continuously combats algae growth and harmful bacteria.


How It Works:


  1. Mineral Release: Within 4–6 hours of installation, essential minerals diffuse into your pool water, establishing a constant protective barrier.

  2. Synergistic Chlorine Action: By handling much of the algaecidal load, PoolRx+ lets low levels of chlorine work more efficiently - reducing chemical demand and smoothing out pH swings.

  3. Rejuvenation Cycle: Each pass through your pump’s filter basket recharges the alloy core, sustaining mineral output season-long (up to six months).



Key Benefits:


  • Hands-Off Algae Control: Simply place the PoolRx+ unit in your skimmer or pump basket - no daily dosing, no guesswork.

  • Versatile Compatibility: Works seamlessly with chlorine, salt-chlorine generators, UV and ozone systems, inground or above-ground pools.

  • Certified Safety & Reliability: EPA-registered and NSF/ANSI-50 certified for peace of mind in both residential and commercial applications.

  • Cost-Effective Maintenance: At roughly $55 per unit treating up to 20,000 gal, PoolRx+ often costs less than half of seasonal algaecide tabs - while delivering continuous, maintenance-free protection.



Installation & Use


  1. Start Fresh: At season start or after a shock treatment, remove any debris and balance pH (7.2–7.6).

  2. Place the Unit: Drop the PoolRx+ cylinder into your pump or skimmer basket where flow is strongest.

  3. Monitor & Boost: If you swim year-round, add a “booster” unit after six months (or sooner if algae reappears) to replenish lost minerals.

  4. End-of-Season Care: Simply remove and store the cylinder; minerals remain locked until reinstalled.



Who It’s For:


  • Busy Pool Owners: Ideal for anyone who hates weekly dosing or juggling multiple chemicals.

  • Eco-Mindful Swimmers: Reduces reliance on harsh algaecides and stabilizers.

  • Large-Volume Pools: Scales effortlessly to treat anywhere from 7,500 up to 20,000 gallons per unit.


Numerous users report fewer algae blooms, smoother water chemistry, and extended filter life - thanks to reduced organic load entering the skimmer.


Whether you’re upgrading from manual algaecide tabs or seeking a set-and-forget solution, PoolRx+ offers a scientifically proven, mineral-powered defense against algae and bacteria. Drop one in your skimmer, and enjoy more time swimming - and less time balancing chemicals - all season long!
