PoolRx Pool Maintenance: Reduce Chlorine Use & Algae

Whether you're managing a backyard pool, spa, or rental property, PoolRx pool maintenance is one of the easiest ways to simplify your water care routine. These compact mineral-based units help reduce chlorine demand, control algae growth, and stabilize water quality for up to six months—all with a one-time installation.

At Wholesale Pool Mart, we stock a full range of PoolRx products to support clean, clear water and lower maintenance costs across pool sizes and systems.


What Is PoolRx and Why It Works

PoolRx is a mineral purifier that works by releasing a blend of natural minerals into your pool or spa water. These minerals target algae at its source, helping chlorine do its job more efficiently. The result? Clearer water, fewer chemical adjustments, and a lot less work.

Once placed in your pump basket or skimmer, PoolRx starts working immediately—and continues protecting your water for up to 6 months.

Why It’s Effective:

  • Reduces chlorine use by up to 50%

  • Kills and prevents all types of algae

  • Works with all sanitizing systems

  • Simple installation, no tools required


Cut Down on Maintenance Time

Maintaining clean pool water usually means balancing chemicals, testing often, and cleaning more than you'd like. But with PoolRx pool maintenance, you're removing one of the biggest causes of time-wasting upkeep: algae.

  • Spend less time brushing and vacuuming

  • Fewer water test corrections

  • Reduced shock and clarifier usage

  • Algae control without weekly treatments

This is especially helpful during peak summer months or in warm climates where algae can quickly get out of control.


Save on Chemicals & Routine Care

Using less chlorine means fewer tabs, fewer buckets of shock, and less algaecide. That translates to noticeable savings within just a few weeks of use.

You’ll also avoid mid-season emergencies, like green pool water or cloudy conditions that lead to expensive clean-ups.
