Essential Info

Enjoy swimming in the clearest, cleanest, softest water imaginable, without the unpleasant smell or taste of chlorine! With the Floatron Solar Powered Pool Purifier, a low-maintenance pool purification system that reduces chlorine use by as much as 80%, you and your family will enjoy swimming in amazingly pure water -- without all the negatives associated with chemicalized pool water. No more bleached hair or bathing suits, dry skin or itchy eyes!

This completely safe and non-toxic solar pool purifier floats in your pool and releases mineral ions into the water. While the mineral ions are absolutely harmless to you, they effectively halt the growth of algae and other microorganisms. The ionized water is so safe, it falls within the EPA established drinking water standards. You can even swim with the unit without harming the purification process or your health! The pool purifier's advanced solar panels generate its own power, costing absolutely nothing to power it! The unit requires only low-powered current, so there's absolutely no electrical shock hazard.

  • Ion test kit
  • Mineral electrode cleaning brush

  • More Info

    Unlike chlorine, which quickly loses potency, the mineral ions remain effective for weeks. They will not evaporate out, even keeping water fresh in pools that are covered during the off-season. The Solar Powered Pool Purifier begins producing ions immediately after being placed in a pool when exposed to sunlight, and will produce ion levels sufficient for pool purification within two weeks (depending on pool volume).The purifier can handle pools up to 30,000 gallons. For larger pools, more than one solar purifier may be required. You may also consider using two purifiers during the summer months to prevent the likelihood of bacteria growth in warmer waters. The purifier is not recommended for use in pools over 30,000 gallons nor in pools with screened or glass enclosures (because there may not be enough sunlight penetration with enclosed pools).

    Because some pool contaminants, like dust or suntan lotion, are not affected by mineral ions, you will still need to add a small amount of chlorine or other oxidizer to neutralize them. Otherwise, there is practically no maintenance other than cleaning the mineral electrode once a week with a jet of water from a garden hose nozzle. The rinse is a great fertizilizer around the yard, too. You will receive everything you need to get started and operate for 1 to 2 seasons, depending on amount of usage.

    SIGRUN -- mudgeeraba, XX   1/29/2011
    very easy to assemble and use. It is too early for me to comment on the functioning as I just launched the floatron
    JOHN -- south fremantle, XX   1/14/2011
    Very Quick and easy. Goods as requested
    VIJAYKUMARAN -- five dock, XX   12/8/2010
    product arrived within 18 days. installation was a breeze and unit worked 1st time. will take a few more weeks before the effects are visible. thanks for your efficiency and follow up..
    TENG -- brisbane, XX   12/1/2010
    Yes It was great and I have got parcel (Floatron) delivered very quickly just in time for Summer season(Austrlia) but the only problem is that smarthome do not sell floatron replacement eletrode. If they do, it would be great and maybe most of us would become long term customers.
    STEVE -- townsville, XX   11/7/2010
    Excellent service and an excellent product. Everything the description said it would be. My pool has never looked as clear. I will be recommending ‘Smarthome’ and this product to everyone I know with a pool. The delivery time was also less than expected. The only downside is that ‘Smarthome’ don’t stock the expendable copper anode as I would rather purchase from ‘Smarthome’ than the expensive local supplier. Well done and I’ll be a return shopper.
    KIRI -- perth, XX   10/14/2010
    Arrived promptly in perfect conditon and is working - how good in the long term at cutting power bills and maintaining the pool remains to be seen.
    ROSS L -- brisbane, XX   8/26/2010
    Very happy. All as promised. Working well.
    MONIQUE -- noumea, XX   7/25/2010
    very good product and so easy and efficient to use
    MARK -- robbinsville, NJ   6/26/2010
    Simply does not work. It has been floating in my 34,000 gallon pool for 4 weeks and I still get a zero ion level reading. The solution in the water comes up clear every time. Not a hint of blue indicating the ion level. Yes, I have cleaned the element and the coil and yes it is trying to do something because the element is losing mass, but other than get yellow residue that stains my skin when I clean the element, this product simply does not work.
    R P -- farnborough, XX   3/4/2010
    Hi happy with delivery and just getting to grips with product! hoping for good things!! only downside was having to pay customs duty before we could receive it! maybe a caution note to buyers that this can happen in some countries! typical Portugal!!!!
    AMANDA -- karrinyup, XX   3/1/2010
    The Floatron is an amazing device and a MUST for anyone with a pool or spa! Many thanks.
    KENNETH -- mariginiup, XX   2/28/2010
    Some back-order delay, but once the goods were back in stock, our order was on its way. Thankyou.
    KERRY -- merewether, XX   1/17/2010
    Hello at Smarthome Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the quality of your service. I received my Floatron in good time. The packaging was in good order with no product damage. The device appears to work satisfactorily. In summary, I am impressed with the quality of your ordering and shipping arrangements, and will certainly purchase from you again should the need arise. Yours faithfully Kerry Bowen PS: there is a solar-powered pool skimmer out there that you might be interested in looking at.

    DEBRA -- frankston south, XX   1/17/2010
    Has worked well so far however would like to get another copper refill for it and another testing kit.
    DANIEL -- quilmes, XX   1/5/2010

    KERRI -- macksville, XX   12/19/2009
    I've had a Floatron before - and having a new pool just had to have one. Arrival - very timely. Packing - excellent. Am recommending it to friends - and recommending Smarthome as well! Thank you. Kerri Robinson Grafton, NSW, Australia
    PAUL -- north hills, CA   8/14/2009
    Our pool looks better than before and we use half as much chlorine to maintain it every month. Great product!
