ECOsmarte Ron Keith, Shawnee, KS Pool Testimonial 2024
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.

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!

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.

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.

My partner and I live in El Paso County. The water is okay but nothing compared to the water from the Purity Bay water filtration system we purchased from your company. I have bottled water straight from my sink. No more having to buy bottles which not only pollute our planet but cost a lot of money. Also no more carrying those heavy and bulky 5 gallon containers to put on the water cooler which is a quite difficult task might I add.
Not only am I drinking pure clean good tasting water but at the same time I am saving a lot of shelf space in the fridge and pantry from not having to store bottled water and the 5-gallon containers (I had 6 of them). The fact that the water is super clean allows me to rinse all my fruits and vegetables straight of the sink making every dollar that I spend on organic veggies worth it.
Everyone that has come into my kitchen has been served delicious water from my sink and has loved it! I couldn’t be happier with the Reverse Osmosis in my kitchen.
We are also enjoying the water everywhere else in the home. Our product consumption has been greatly reduced due to the fact that we no longer need to use so much shampoo, conditioner, etc. One small drop the size of a dime will do. I have really long hair, so another saving here.
My French bulldog has skin allergies and we have to use special shampoo which is rather expensive and I’ve noticed the consumption here has been drastically reduced as well.
We are really happy with this financial investment we made. It’s one of those investments that will last you a lifetime and those are rare.
Aside from purchasing the Purity Bay water filter system we also purchased the ECOsmarte system for both our hot tub and swim spa and boy let me tell you if I thought the Purity Bay filter was the best investment ever this completely doubles that. It is like swimming in bottled water. It’s like nothing I've ever experienced in my life. I no longer have to be adding endless amounts of chlorine, shock, water clear, etc. Actually I don’t have to add anything at all. Just like that the water stays SUPER clean and NO chemical smells what so ever. The amount of money I will be saving here will pay for the ECOsmarte in no time.
I highly recommend the ECOsmarte system to any hot tub, swim spa, or pool owner. This system gets 5 stars plus…. Overall we are one happy-happy customer. To anyone who reads this I say, investing in cleaner water is the best decision you will make in your life, your body is about 60% water and your skin is your largest organ, therefore treating it with high-quality water is the best thing you can do.

We have never owned a pool before. I am so pleased with how clear our water is with the ECOsmarte system. Once I learned how the system works it is so easy to maintain!

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.

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

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.
