UV sanitizers use the power of ultraviolet light to kill germs and unwanted microorganisms in your pool. UV sanitizers are safe for swimmers and are one of the best low-maintenance alternative pool sanitizer options available for pool owners today. Keep in mind that the UV light will need to be replaced regularly, and the piping should be sanitized with chemical cleaners to keep the system running its best.

Ozone generators destroy organisms, viruses, pool contaminants and break down chloramines via oxidation. Ozone generators are also 200 times stronger than using chlorine alone! For complete assurance of sanitization, you’ll want to also add a pool chemical like chlorine or bromine.

Pool Supply Unlimited also carries innovative UV/Ozone and Salt/Ozone hybrid systems that bring together some of the most effective alternative pool sanitizers into one safe, effective, and powerful sanitization system.

Also known as a mineral sanitizer, an Ionizer is an alternative pool chemical option that works by adding small amounts of ionic copper or silver to the water to remove bacteria and algae from the water. There are two main types of Ionizers, passive and active. Passive Ionizers require no electricity, slowly releasing ions and ionizing through eroded substrates, offering a low-maintenance alternative pool sanitizer solution.

 

Active Ionizers use an electric current to ionize the copper or silver and are installed inline with your pool’s filtration system. Active Ionizers quickly release ions and offer an efficient alternative pool sanitizer solution. With an Ionizer, swimmers will enjoy less eye and skin irritations, and you'll enjoy an easier pool maintenance routine with fewer pH adjustments or shock treatments needed.
