1 / 7RiverPure Solar Pool Ionizer for Pools Up to 45,000 Gallons
RiverPure’s solar pool ionizer is a floating, sunlight-powered water-treatment aid for pools and spas listed up to 45,000 gallons. Its copper anode is intended to reduce reliance on chlorine, but the claimed reduction is not a substitute for checking and maintaining pool water chemistry.
