POOL RX Plus Pool Unit Blue/White (with silver)
Product Overview
What pool techs reach for when seeking low-maintenance pool algae control—backed by proven mineral technology.
The PoolRx+ Pool Unit (SKU 331001, EPA Reg # 79817-4) provides up to six months of algaecide protection for systems holding 7,500 to 20,000 gallons. Weighing 0.72 lbs, this alloy cylinder delivers a formulation of Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate 86.85%, Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate 1.51%, Silver Nitrate 0.40% directly into circulation. In our experience, it reliably allows residential pools to operate at 0.5 to 1.0 ppm free chlorine and commercial pools at 1.0 to 5.0 ppm.

The Pool Rx+ unit is uniquely designed with a special blend of minerals that persistently and efficiently eradicate algae. Encased within the specially treated alloy cylinder is the Pool Rx+ granular formulation. As soon as these minerals are released from the cylinder, they dissolve and create a stable residual that disperses throughout the pool water. These minerals are effective in eliminating algae, which in turn allows even low levels of chlorine in the water to become more active and efficient. Additionally, as part of the pool's filtration cycle, these minerals are continuously rejuvenated each time they pass back through the cylinder.
