MADE IN USAThe floatron is conceived, designed, and manufactured in the USA - Phoenix, Arizona to be exact. We wrote the book on SOLAR IONIZATION, and now with 31 years of learning everything about the floatron, our exceptional customer support provides incomparable service to our floatron users. 24-month factory coverage is afforded by the simple yet rugged construction. Many floatron customers report literally decades of product longevity. Built to last! Insist on the original, genuine floatron for long-term value and performance. |
SOLAR POWERThe floatron combines solar electric power generation with mineral ionization = SOLAR IONIZATION. Direct sunlight powers the unit via the high performance photovoltaic solar panel, converting it into a low power, harmless electrical current. The current energizes the mineral electrode, causing the anode to slowly dissolve into the water which is known as ionization, resulting in mineralized water. The result is crystal clear healthy water that is algae and microorganism resistant. Once mineralized, the water remains stable for weeks. |
MINERALIZED WATERIn recent years, inferior imitations and look-alikes have made their way to the marketplace. Don't fall for the lower cost and do not be fooled when you can have the real deal, the floatron! Imitation products lack the engineering to ensure product and customer success with their pools. Our mineral electrode includes copper, zinc and silver that are the result of decades of development and refinement. The floatron is the original solar powered water purifier. |
FLOAT INTO SAVINGSThe floatron will benefit you in many ways. On average, you can reduce your chlorine / oxidizer use by approximately 80%; a direct money savings. pH swings are a thing of the past. No more expensive trips to the pool store for algaecides, conditioners, stabilizers or other chemicals. It's really very simple: trace chlorine, the floatron, and that's it! So, what are you wading for? It's time to float into savings and enjoy the benefits gained with your own floatron! As our customers often say, it's the best thing they ever did for their pool, health, and wallet! |

Update May 2015 - It's been a year now and we just replaced the electrode and the screen basket. It's still working. We run the pump for about 1hr in the morning and another hour in the afternoon. It remains in the pool year round. We've had no problems with algae all year! I have noticed that the spring has a great deal of buildup or corrosion on it. We do brush it each time we clean the electrode (weekly or every other week) however we can't get the buildup off. I don't know if it matters. We periodically test the water but have never gotten much of a reading from the test kit provided. It's never measured more than .1. And yes, we are looking down and not from the side as it states in the directions. But apparently it's working in spite of the test results.
Note: The pool doesn't get heavy use.
ok, now the cons, you will want to clean the anode several times a week or it gets to be a big chore, plus it will work better since its doing a lot of work for you. it takes an easy 10 minutes. also the anode will not last a year. the first one will probably last 6 months and then maybe they will last longer after conditioning the water? its worth it to me because of the chemical free water quality. product is highly recommended.
Then I got this product. I am amazed. Following directions I put the Floatron in the pool and shocked it one last time and put two tablets in the skimmer. After two weeks (no algae) I test the water and there was a trace of copper. Put two more tablets in the skimmer and waited 2 more weeks and tested again (still no algae) and this time there was a measurable amount of copper. I then took it apart and cleaned it (as per instructions once a month). It has now been almost a year and now I shock the pool once every two weeks and clean the Floatron once a month. I have had NO algae none nada nothing. I am thrilled. Shocking the pool isn't for the algae but to oxidize oils and purify the water of bacteria. My chlorine bill is now only about $8 per month and my pool is clean and sparkling.
I am getting ready to replace the first element as it is sacrificial.
PROS: Everything about it.
CONS: Nothing
Recommend: Absolutely. Don't even think about it.... just buy it. You won't ever be sorry.
