Anyone used a ionizer

Anyone tried one of these some people swear by them

ionizers are successful in reducing DBP formation in North Carolina public pools, but their output is way too high for algecidal use in residential pools. Ions inhibit algae, fungi, but are not sanitizers; you still need chlorine. Unless you understand trace metal chemistry and have access to atomic emission spectrometers, you should steer clear.

What do you hope to accomplish with an ionizer? Is there some issue with your pool we can help resolve?

Ionizers add metal to your water, which do not belong there. Additionally, the refill kits are usually pricey. Save your money.

Just need to pool ownership and came acrossed it when looking at swg didn’t know anything about them

A SWG is the way to go. With an ionizer you still need to add chlorine manually, so you're not really saving yourself any trouble.

A good little read.

Ionizer

My pool has an ionizer attached just before the return. Does any one know what it does?
