SmartPool ChlorEase Above Ground Saltwater Chlorinator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this device last summer.Being skeptical, I really read into it and reluctantly decided to give it a shot.I have followed the instructions to the "T" and always kept my water chemistry in the recommended range per the manufacturers instructions.I also followed the recommended cleaning and maintenance per their instructions.It worked great last summer, BUT not this summer.

I never plugged the unit up until I had all of the water chemistry to their standards, which took a while this year.When I plugged the unit in, it began to bubble, as it should, so I thought everything was okay.It never created enough chlorine this year, even though I had it running 24 hours a day.It finally stopped working all together about half-way through the summer.Upon my inspection of the device, I found the transformer that powers the device had melted its housing!

I called the manufacturer and they told me to send it in so that they could look at it and see what was wrong with it.Two weeks after returning it to them (my cost) I got notice from them that the device was supposedly caked up with a bunch of calcium.They told me that because it broke due to my failure to maintain it correctly that I would have to pay $100 to get it replaced by them!I told them that it wasn't that way when I put it in the box because you could see the platinum plates clearly (I would have cleaned it first if it would have been caked up, but it wasn't).They told me that I was wrong, that it was caked up inside, but you can easily see right through the device and I KNOW it wasn't like that!I told them that I had always maintained it like they said to and that I had just cleaned it about two weeks before I figured out that it had stopped working.She then changed her story to say that the ONLY reason that their transformers melt like that is because they weren't maintained correctly.She would not even admit that there was the possibility that the transformer could have just messed up on its own.

I tried to get them to replace it under their warranty, but they refused to stating that it was all my fault!I finally just told them to send it back to me the way it was so that I could try to get it replaced by the credit card company that I bought it with and they said that they would gladly send it back to me, but that I had to pay $15 to have them ship it back to me!So not only did they call me a liar about maintaining it and not stand behind their warranty, but they expect me to pay to ship the broken unit twice!

This device did do what it was supposed to, and I was actually a big proponent of it.I even recommended it to several people, but I would not recommend this item at all now knowing what type of people are running the company.

Turbo-Twist 6X UV Sterilizer - 250 gallon - 18W Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Turbo Twist unit is well worth the money.I had quite a few parasites that kept coming back and each time I had to spend the money on medicines to rid of them.It got to be a real pain in the butt.With other UV sterilizers on the market and not sure which one to purchase, I took a gamble and bought the Turbo Twist.I have had the unit about 2 years now and can't think of a time since then that I have had problems with diseases or parasites.The product does what it is intended to do.You must have the appropriate water flow from your filter in order for it to work properly though.I have mine installed on my canister filter and it works excellent.It also comes with a nice bracket system so that you can either use the suction cups or screw it into your aquarium stand.I simply screwed the bracket into my aquarium cabinet on the inside so that it is not visible.I also installed quick-disconnects on each end so that I can clean the unit easily without having to dismantle the entire filtration setup.I hope this information helps your decision-making. I highly recommend!!!

Automatic Chlorine Generator Saltwater Pool System - Intex Model 56601E Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Love this system.Saves lots of money otherwise spent on poisonous chemicals. Things I learned the hard way.1)For low flow: check the little plastic circle net inside the intake tube.Clean every other day or so for best results.2) For low salt when you know there is plenty:calcium build up on the titanium plates, blueish white.Rinse with high pressure hose (use your thumb)once a week.I didnt figure that out until a few months had passed and had to soak in vinegar to get clean.But once I figured out the minimal routine maintenance needed the unit has been running great.NOTE do not hose bugs off the bottom of the whole system as the water gets into the cooling fan and soaks the circut board and lights.Very very bad.

Product Description:
The Intex Saltwater Chlorine Generator is much safer and more efficient than using packaged store-bought chlorine for your above ground pool. Say goodbye to red burning eyes, faded clothes, and ruined pool liners. Simply hook the Intex saltwater generator into the pool's water flow as directed, add the specified amount of salt, and the Chlorine Generator will do the rest. The pool's water is converted to an effective algaecide - and since salt doesn't evaporate or dissipate as chlorine does, the constant addition of chlorine chemicals is a thing of the past. Keep your pool incredibly clean, crystal clear and fresh at all times with this Intex saltwater system chlorine generator.

Penguin BIO-Wheel 150 Power Filter - up to 30 Gallon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using a Biowheel 150 on my 29-gallon aquarium for well over a year, and find that for the price, it's an okay product. It keeps the aquarium clean, changing filter inserts (I put two in my unit) is easy, and haven't had any problems with the impeller. The only drawbacks I've seen with this particular power filter is the fact that, as one other reviewer stated, if the electricity happens to go out in the home, the filter doesn't always start up again on its own once the power comes back on. And I also find that unless the water level in the tank reaches the outflow part of the filter (which means the water level has to be at absolute maximum in the tank at all times), the filter is noisy...the sound of the water splashing into the tank from the filter is distracting. It's certainly not as quiet as some other filters I've used in the past, but for overall performance, it's not a bad product. I'd rate it at 3-1/2 stars if the option was available for half-stars. ;o)
