The pH PURE system consists of a control box that controls the flow of CO2 from a tank that you'll installed next to your existing pool equipment. Trace amounts of safe and natural carbon dioxide are released into your pool’s water in time-controlled amounts throughout the day with our computerized control system. Taking care of your pool could never be easier! Adding CO2 to your water produces the same interaction that takes place when you add muriatic acid. Easy 30 minute installation with no electrical wiring required!
Please note that the CO2 tank(s) are not included and should be purchased or rented locally
General FAQ
Your pool’s pH is at the heart of your water balance and is key to the interaction between the other components of your water chemistry. The water’s pH can make your pool’s chlorine significantly less effective. It can cause itching or irritation for your swimmers, and can influence either etching of pool surfaces or deposits of calcium, scaling, or crystals on the pool surfaces and salt cells if it’s not kept on track.
Ideally, your pool’s pH should be kept between 7.4-7.6. Your pool’s pH can change quite rapidly, though, and with only weekly measurement and adjustment you spend a significant percentage of the time above or below the target pH. Weekly pH management is simply too infrequent.
We carry CO2 tanks, and you can also buy or rent a tank locally. To fill your tank, you have a lot of options ranging from hardware stores, sporting good stores, welding supply stores, restaurant supply stores (CO2 is used in soda fountains and beer tap systems), home brew supply stores, paintball supply stores, and more.
The CO2 gets absorbed into your pool water, forming "carbonic acid" to keep the pH balance in check. So you're not seeing CO2 bubbles coming out of your pool jets and immediately escaping the pool; rather, its getting dissolved into the water where it forms CH2O3.
This system actually has patented technology that allows for predictable CO2 usage. When sized right, refills are extremely infrequent - as little as once a swim season or even less. The manufacturer site gives pretty detailed information about CO2 use, you can see that here.

Most homeowners find having a single tank in use is the easiest option. Just like your propane grille, having a backup never hurts. When the tank is empty it would need to be swapped with the full one & since an average 15,000 pool will last over 2 months on a single 20lb tank, it’s a great option.
Larger tanks are cheaper per pound of CO2 and if you have a local distributor who will deliver it’s certainly the most cost effective option.
