Use Less Over Time

When we say that our goal is to use as few chemicals as possible, we mean it!! Depending on use, many people can reduce how much iONRx is needed after the first 4-6 weeks. Unlike chlorine and bromine, copper doesn't evaporate out. That means you can easily modify how much you need based on how you are using your hot tub. Not using it as much? You won't need as much iONRx. Look for our copper test kit to how much copper is in the water.

Sanitizes with tap water levels of chlorine

To make a better hot tub chemical we looked to a natural, established mechanical process for treating water with Copper ions. Used in places like hospitals and were water treatment is crucial, the mechanical process is difficult and unpredictable. We patented a process eliminating the expensive and complicated mechanics so that we can bottle it and ship it to your door. The result is the easiest hot tub maintenance with the fewest chemicals possible.

About iONRx All Natural Hot Tub Products

iONRx was created by George Loucaides when his daughter had an allergic reaction to the hot tub chemicals in their spa. Based on technology created by George's father, he was able patent a process for suspending free ionic copper in a water based solution, something previously thought impossible! With that, we're happy to bring this multi-generational product to the hot tub and spa world after being used in the hospital and commercial sector for over 10 years.

Get Some Water.

Start with clear, balanced water (read more below on what that means and how to do it).

Note:

• If you're using bromine or enzymes, you'll need to drain and refill your spa.
• If you're using chlorine, you won't need to drain, just make sure pH and alkalinity are good.
• If you're starting fresh, fill and balance your water for pH and alkalinity.

Add iONRx and Chlorine Sanitizer

Add 4 oz. of iONRx per 100 gallons directly to the spa water. Add 1-2 chlorine tablets or the equivalent amount of granular chlorine to maintain tap water levels.

Note:

• If you're using well water, add tap water levels of chlorine.
• If you're using city water, you will need to maintain chlorine at tap water levels.
• Look for our kits if you need supplies.

Enjoy Every Day. Maintain Once a Week.

Add 4 oz. of iONRx per 100 gallons directly to spa water once a week and maintain tap water levels of chlorine. Usually 1-2 chlorine tablets a week. It's really that simple.

Note:

• After 4-6 weeks of using iONRx test the copper levels in the water. Many people can decrease the dosing based on their usage.
• If you're new to hot tubs and that doesn't sound easy, please reach out.
• If you already have a hot tub and are tired of feeling like a chemist, rejoice!

User questions & answers

Question:	Do stickers come with the bags to seal
Answer:	yes, you can, heavy shock, bring PH level into line. Get water tested before you start. Leslie's is a great place to start. They will tell you how much shock, plus everything else it will take to clear the pool up. You need the white and the blue balls for this to work properly or you will just push algae back into the pool. Read other issues I have posted on these balls and how they work. Please locate them and read the entire program hoe the 2 size balls have to work together. Amazon carries them both. I also explain how you clean these critters. Backwash will never clean them out properly and you could end up clogging the drain if you are not using a Hayward Sand filter conversion. They keep balls out of drain if back-washed. These balls, when used with a perfectly balanced pool, should only need to be cleaned twice a year. Depending on debris being sucked up. Algae killer alone is not always the full remedy and can make things worse if the pool is not properly balanced. Use Leslie's... This will save you money in the long run. Get the blue balls 2 to 3 bags depending on the size of the filter. 3 bags of white balls on the bottom and 3 on top. You Level of balls must be as high or a little higher than the sand. Don't useless that is a fantasy, these balls allow one hell of a lot of water pass through them and you will not have high pressure on the pump. Your pressure should be way up and if not and your pressure is dropping balls are clogged. You need to read the articles I have sent others on the proper way to set up and clean the balls. This is very important or you will be one of the users that rate the balls a single star and they don't work. These are not a throw-in and let them go. They are a device that allows your pool filter to only be cleaned once a year and be maintenance free as long as the chemistry is totally perfect before you start. My pool is clear all year around and no maintenance except occasional heavy shock if it gets too hot especially Texas. Watch the leaves they will kill chemistry. I converted to saltwater the same time I started the balls, NO CHEMICALS. PH stays set and keep salt level up to the proper setting. NO ALGAE either. Let me know if I can help if you can't get AMAZON to show other posts.
Question:	How many bags? If 100, they can’t be $.02 apiece. Is it a multipack
Answer:	These work on ANY sand filter system and soooooo much better than sand or glass. We did A LOT of research before purchasing these and it was worth it...we are so happy with the results. And depending on the amount of sand your filter requires will determine how many boxes of balls you need for your filter. You fill it to the top of the fill line just as if you were filling your filter with sand or glass. There are many charts on line to tell you how many boxes you need for your size filter, but just check your manual to see the sand requirement needed and buy accordingly. They say a 5 lb. box equals 50 lbs. of sand but I think it's actually even higher. We own an 18 X 10 Rectangular Above Ground pool by Bestway and our pump is 1,050-gallon filter pump with a water capacity capacity: 3,913 gallons and close to 40 lbs. of sand needed to fill it to the fill line and we filled the filter to the fill line with the balls and our box looks like it is still completely full so you get several uses out of one box of balls for our size filter anyway. They say they will last several seasons if you use the right chemicals in your pool that are recommend (NEVER USE CLARIFIERS with these balls it will clog them up) and check and clean your balls as needed usually once a month. You don't need pool clarifiers with this product anyway, this product is soooooo easy and maintains a MUCH better water balance than when you use sand or glass. I bought a bucket just for rinsing these balls in (I don't use a bucket I use to clean my house because it could coat the balls with bad chemicals and I NEVER use tap water) I use clean pool water on them to clean them. They say you can use your washing machine to clean these, but I wouldn't chance introducing chemicals on them that may cause a water imbalance. Just check you PH once a week, use chlorine tablets, check you balls about once a month or more, and clean them or replace them as they get dirty and that's all you need to do. This is not something you just throw in your filter and never check all season even sand and glass should be cleaned often during each pool season, but one box of these goes a long way. We filled our filter and it barley made a dent in the ball supply out of the box. There are several months use in one 5lb. box if you don't want to have to clean the balls and just wanted to replace them with new ones each time. If used properly this system is AMAZING! We never need anything other than Chlorine tablets and have not had algae or any other problems just crystal clear water. But we follow all pool maintenance rules and product recommendations closely too. Hope this helps :)
Question:	Can you tell me what type of wax is used on these bags? Thanks
Answer:	So many ways to answer that. Usually when I am having a difficult time balancing the water it is time to change it. That is a good time to use a 'flush' type product to remove the chemical build-up on the internal parts before you drain the old water. The product in your picture is not a flush. I used it for a while. I think it is expensive and does not act as quickly as regular chemicals. Good luck.
