You may already know this as a long time member, but at TFP we discourage use of ozone and ionizers for outdoor pools. Can you tell us a little more about your pool, and what you want an ozone or ionizer unit to accomplish for you?

Even with all those fancy items, you still have to add chlorine and follow the FC/CYA Levels to keep your pool clean and sanitary.
So why buy them? And the ionizer, well, it will add metals to your pool. Those metals will eventually stain the surface of the pool and turn blonde hair green. Unless you are able to drain a huge amount of your pool water very frequently, and it appears you live in S Cal and may not want to do that, ionizers are a mess.

S,

Since you have been a member here since 2018, I am "shocked" that you would even consider those alternatives... (pun intended)...

If you just want to waste your money on magic, I've got a great bridge in Brooklyn that I'll sell you cheap...

Thanks,

When not doing as Marty suggesting, these could be the consequences:

Stick with plain chlorine. Nothing else is needed.

No I’m not considering at all ! I wanted to get just a outtake on who’s played with it and what they think. I love my setup. I run jandy 1400 with the clear cartridge and live and breath Orenda natural enzymes with minimal salt generation and my pool is crystal clear. I also have a the I also have the true guard Minarel hooked up to the line.

Be careful of that device. It adds metals to your water. They will build up as you do not drain water.

When you say drain water do you mean on a weekly monthly or yearly basis. I usually drain and refill my water every years at least 60 percent of it

 

[mknauss]

Every year? Why?

 

[s281er238]

So I should get rid of it too

Every year? Who

y?

im just a perfectionist and cod to the Max with house and cars upkeep. I paid for my house every six months to keep it nice and fresh and new. I'm just a Perfectionist, that's all.as my wife says sick in the head but in a good waylol

Don’t add metals or pool store potions and manage your pool water chemistry using accurate data and there is no reason to go through 10’s of thousands of gallons of water a year.

+1. My pool water was always cleaner than my tap water. 10X that for folks using a well. Using either would require bringing them up to pool standard, not the other way around. Ocd or not.
