Common questions and doubts
How does the Solar Pool Savers ionizer work?
The Pool Savers Solar Ionizer works by coming into contact with water, releasing ions through the copper electrode it uses. These ions eliminate algae and prevent them from regrowing to keep the water clean and clear.
It is fully solar-powered, so it does not need to be recharged and requires no installation.
How many do I need?
The number of Ionizers you need depends on the volume in liters; generally, for a residential pool, one is enough.
The Solar Pool Savers Ionizer has a capacity of up to 83,000 liters or 83 m³.
You will obtain your pool's volume by multiplying its length x width x average depth. The result obtained is represented in cubic meters; once you have this value, divide it by 83, and it will tell you how many units you need for your pool.
How do I start using my Solar Ionizer?
It's very easy to get started!
1. Assemble the ionizer.
- Screw the electrode to the ionizer body
- Cover with the blue filter or safety basket
- Secure with the plastic bolt or "wing nut"
2. Let the ionizer float in your pool.
3. Adaptation process. Since your pool has never had a solar ionizer, it requires a process in which the equipment will adapt to the water. This requires at least 15 days during which you will not reduce the levels of chemicals you usually use to keep it in optimal condition. (Whether it's chlorine, algaecides, or others) After 15 days, you can reduce consumption by 85% less chlorine and 100% less algaecides.
4. Done!
It is very important that before starting up, the pool is clean and in optimal condition, as this process will prevent the formation of algae. It will NOT eliminate them if they already exist.
Do I have to keep using bleach?
This depends on several factors such as the use of the pool or space and external contaminants.
The Solar Ionizer will make you use only a small dose of chlorine depending on the volume of your pool, usually 10% to 15% of what you used before.
Does it work if my pool is covered or in the shade?
It is strictly necessary for the Ionizer to receive sunlight.
If you have a thermal cover or tarp, all you need to do is leave a space the size of the ionizer (20 cm in diameter) for it to receive energy from the sun while the electrode remains submerged.
If you use a water pump, the device must be anchored, so it will continue to release ions into the water and function even if it does not move.
Does it require maintenance?
Yes, maintenance should be performed every 15 days.
To do this, you must remove the ionizer from the pool, disassemble it, and remove the electrode to brush it with the special brush included, then rinse it.
When you're done, reassemble it and let it float again.
IMPORTANT: Do not perform maintenance before or after 15 days to ensure optimal performance.
Do you use consumables or need spare parts?
Yes, you must replace the electrode at the end of its useful life, in approximately one to one and a half years.
This depends on the use of the Solar Ionizer and the climatic conditions of the geographic area where the equipment is located.
What is the lifespan of my Solar Ionizer?
Thanks to its high-resistance materials, the Pool Savers Solar Ionizer has a 10-year lifespan. We also offer a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
How do I know if it's already working?
The best way to know it's working is patience. As the days go by, you'll see spectacular results.
However, if you don't want to wait, here's a step-by-step guide to confirm that it does work:
- Assemble the ionizer partially, screwing the electrode into the ionizer body without installing the other parts.
- Submerge the spring and the electrode in a clear glass of water.
- Expose the solar ionizer to the sun.
- Bubbles will start to appear, which means the ionizer is in optimal condition.
