Remington Solar Chlorine-Free “Sun Shock” - For an Algae Free Pool

The Remington Solar Chlorine-Free “Sun Shock” uses lower power output from the Solar Panels on the unit to generate ions which will keep your pool algae free all season long. The Remington Solar is an effective way to prevent algae in your pool and as a side benefit the Anode also attracts calcium and iron which will soften the pool water.


For those opposed to using any copper in your pool for fear of staining the surface this is the safest method I have found thus far. It is very easy to control the Copper Ion output and if it reaches 0.5 ppm simply removing the Remington Solar will prevent any staining. Copper is an excellent way to prevent algae but it does have the one drawback of potentially staining the pool surface if the levels get too high. But in my testing the copper levels didn't approach anywhere near the 0.5 ppm mark in a 15,000 gallon pool.

The Remington Solar comes with everything you need in the box including 30 copper test strips. So you have enough test strips for a typical pool season. It is important to test the Copper levels every week. In my area of Southern California the well water is very hard so the Anode developed a lot of build-up over a week. So it is important to also check and clean the Anode every week if needed.

I like the fact that the Anode attracts calcium and iron. In my test pool I am actually treating the plaster for some roughness from Calcium build-up and I have noticed with the Remington Solar running the calcium problem has really improved. The Anode will slowly erode over time and they are rated to last one to two years. I am thinking in my area 12 months would be the lifespan due to the hard water.

So let me run down some of the benefits of the Remington Solar. With the Anode working at 0.3 ppm it will transform your pool to a Mineral Water which in turn will prevent algae and kill micro-organisms. This means that if you want you can lower the chlorine level down to 1.0 – 1.5 ppm and run your pool with a low chlorine level. You can still maintain your chlorine at 3.0 ppm if you chose and the Remington Solar will still have the same benefits.

I am not opposed to running your pool at a very low chlorine range and since the copper ions will keep algae at bay and also will kill any microorganisms. I just prefer a chlorine level of 3.0 ppm just to make sure everything harmful is killed. If you are sensitive to chlorine, then by all means lower it down to 1.0 ppm with the Remington Solar running in the pool.

If your pool has a continuous algae problem the Remington Solar would be perfect for you. The test pool has step areas that get no Sunlight all year round. In the Spring it would get some algae on the steps, but since putting the Remington Solar in, no algae. It works very effectively.
One unit is good for 22,000 gallons of water so if you have a larger pool you will need two units. If you have a very small pool you may need to remove the unit every few days. But for the average pool owner you can just leave the unit in the pool all season long.

The Remington Solar is easy to use and maintain and offers a lot of benefits. It does introduce Copper into the pool water in very low amounts so be aware of this fact. It would be a good investment if the benefits of the product are attractive to you. It is priced around $150.00 so it is affordable especially if you also plan on reducing your chlorine level.
