We love the fact that our child with a chlorine allergy can now enjoy swimming in our ECOsmarte chemical-free plunge pool at our home in Australia!

My first contact with the ECOsmarte products and technologies has been on the Cairns Tradeshow when I walked into the ECOsmarte-booth. What initially attracted me was the combination of technologies, the copper ionization, and platinum oxidation. In my youth, in Germany, the old people used to wear copper bands around their arms for protection against illnesses and I had heard about research being done in Germany about the beneficial effects of the same principles.
So I acquired a Turbo pool system for my swimming pool. Until now I used to have a saltwater pool but really did not like the effect of the chlorine in the water.
I’ve put in the system myself, a breeze to install and switched it on. One of the problems I had with my old setup was some green algae on the waterfall above the pool. To test the effectiveness of this system I plugged the overflow of my pool, filled the pool to the maximum water level, and waited for the algae to become visible. I then turned the system to ionization for 4 hours and watched the algae disappear at almost the same time. The next day there was no trace of any algae whatsoever which to me proved beyond any doubt that the system actually works. Since then I have crystal clear water in my pool, very nice to swim in.

I have been a Ecosmarte customer since 2002 on a stainless steel side pool in Michigan and a plaster pool in SE Florida. The system maintains my pools crystal clear with minimal time and zero chlorine or salt.

We have had the ECOsmarte pool system for more than 25 years now. We had a chlorine pool, and we have never looked back. Spending time at the pool store only to find out... their solution - “add more Chlorine” is not my idea of a fun afternoon. The ECOsmarte system has worked excellently, and the customer support through all these years is still top-notch. I have a sand filter with the recommended glass pack. I run the pump at least 10 hours a day. I maintain my pH at 6.8 and copper level to .5 -.7 ppm through the basic 3-month swimming season in MN. The cost to keep my pool clear is really just muriatic acid—4-6 gallons, used to keep pH low. I replace the copper electrodes about every three or four years. Once you get used to the system, it’s pretty easy to manage. I have experimented over the years, and usually, that did not work in my favor. I recommend you just maintain your pool as recommended by ECOsmarte. I do for sure now. I closed my pool mid-Sept 2020, then opened June 9th, 2021. We were swimming by June 12th! That’s definitely a record for me... good when family motivates you. I wholeheartedly recommend the ECOsmarte pool system. It works well, is healthy, and is inexpensive to maintain. My pool liner is about 20 years old. I also have the whole house system. I will write another review about this system under the appropriate heading. Enjoy your pool season. Thank you, ECOsmarte.

Since having the [Whole House City Water] Ecosmarte installed my drinking water tastes wonderful. I can tell the difference it has made to my skin.
I would recommend this to my family and friends.

Dear ECOsmarte,
After 30+ years of adding chlorine, acid, shock, and other chemicals to my pool, I decided to redo the pool and all the equipment. This made me think of how I could make caring for the pool easier and less toxic. Storing the chemicals was a big issue for me. After research, I thought a salt pool would be the way to go. My wife pointed out how the saltwater might not be good for her plants around the pool. Further research made me aware of ECOsmarte’s no chemical system. This really appealed to me. It solved my chemical issues and automated the process to work hand in hand with the new efficient pool equipment. We have found the water to be much more pleasant to be in and with an almost soft feeling to the skin. In any case, when the grand kids have their swim parties they love the water. The settings on the micro controller are set and only need to be adjusted as the seasons change if you’re not lucky enough to be located in the San Francisco Bay area. The basic maintenance is refilling the Carbon Dioxide canister periodically for pH control and testing the pool water once a week to be sure all is okay. Thank you.

I have recently installed an ECOsmarte swimming pool system for my pool. I’ve installed it myself which did not pose any problems. I’ve also taken advantage of the occasion to clean my pool filter and changed the filter media from sand to Zeolite, which is supposed to have better filtration qualities.
I’ve been enjoying my pool since then. The water looks crystal clear, so much so that I actually tasted it. It tastes good and I’ve noticed that the local wildlife like kookaburras and kingfishers jumps in there as well to take a bath every now and then. This did not happen while I had my old salt chlorinated pool. I’ve invited quite a few friends over to swim in the pool and they’ve all remarked on the softness of the water on their skin and the absence of stinging of the eyes. A little bit of algae growth on the west side of my pool has disappeared after the first day as well.
Maintenance means that I have to keep the parameters (pH, copper, and calcium) within the boundaries, but that doesn’t take up much time, a weekly test does the job, and depending on the results I might have to adjust them a bit. The pump has to run for only 3 hours compared to the 8 to 10 hours I was used to.

Dear Sir,
We recently installed an ECOsmarte water treatment system on our swimming pool at Kewarra Beach, just north of Cairns in far north Queensland.
Tropical conditions in our area place significant stress on any water treatment system, but we greatly prefer to swim in water that does not contain chlorine or salt – both having their place, but that’s definitely not in our pool or on us! In particular, we don’t like swimming in chlorinated water, as the unpleasant chlorine odor tends to linger long after the swim. How can that be good for you?
Previously, we had an ionizing water treatment system for our pool, but it required periodic “shock” treatment to remove developing algae, particularly during summer.
ECOsmarte requires no sanitation chemicals. That’s what appealed to us. Of course, there is the routine check for water pH “balance”-but that’s a sensible job required with every pool, to ensure an effective and healthy operating system.
With ECOsmarte, our pool water is good enough to drink – in fact, we’ve tried it. So, too, have the local bird life, and we now have daily visits from kingfishers, kookaburras, and many more.
The ECOsmarte water purification system on our pool has so impressed us, that we have now installed one on our home water supply. We’re enjoying the difference, with crystal clear, chemical-free water that tastes like – real water.
Sincerely,
Allan & Cynthia

We, being senior citizens, are unable to physically handle the salt or potassium replacement for water softeners. We were looking for a water system for our new home that would not require maintenance on our part.
Our area has very hard water and we were warned that appliances are short-lived and water lines get clogged with calcium deposits. In addition, homeowners in our subdivision are concerned about the chemical leftovers going into our treatment plant.
We feel we have solved future problems by purchasing an ECOsmarte Whole House Water Treatment system. In addition, we are able to drink from the faucet instead of purchasing bottled water for drinking and making coffee and tea.
We are looking forward to seeing the difference in our yard after watering this year.
Yours truly,
Donald and Barbara Keeling

This is my third ECOsmarte system, so it should be obvious that I am pleased with what it does. The first was at my Dad's house, the second at my current home and the third is at a new home just being finished.
We have a municipal water system that includes lots of calcium and iron at no extra charge. The ECOsmarte system greatly improves the taste and when combined with a water softener, provides really good water that leaves dishes and glassware sparkling. In addition, our sinks, showers and tubs stay clean for quite a long time. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
John and Estelle Clary
