Safer & Healthier for your family, lighter on your to‑do list, easier on your wallet
Pool Sanitation Has Evolved. Have You?
You’ve seen the damage harsh chemicals and salt corrosion cause. We took the lessons from the past 50 years to engineer the first system that solves the pain without the maintenance headaches.
The Old Way: Chlorine
Unhealthy & High Maintenance
For decades, we accepted that swimming meant smelling like bleach. High chemical loads attack organic matter—including your hair and skin—while requiring daily attention to maintain balance.
The Transition: Salt Systems
Expensive Repairs & Corrosion
Salt promised a better experience but brought new headaches. It attacks your pool deck and equipment with corrosion. Plus, you're still swimming in generated chlorine, and the system requires expensive board repairs.
The Future: Low-Chlo
Healthiest & Zero Repairs
The definitive alternative to salt. Enjoy crystal clear water without the harsh chemicals or the mechanical failures. Saves you time and money with a system that has no moving parts and requires zero electricity.
If You Have a Salt System, You Know These Problems.
If you don’t (and you're considering salt), READ THIS first.
The "Chlorine Hangover" Ends Here.
You wouldn't pour bleach in your bathtub, so why swim in it? Traditional chlorine and salt systems are waging war on your skin, eyes, and expensive gear.
Love Your Pool, Hate the Maintenance?
Are you tired of spending a ton of time and money, week after week, trying to keep your pool clean rather than swimming in it?
How it Works
Dirty Water Enters
Once your water passes through your existing filter, it flows directly into the Low-Chlo tank. Our system integrates seamlessly with your current plumbing using a smart bypass flow. This ensures the perfect amount of water pressure pushes through the system to be treated without slowing down your pump or straining your equipment.
The Kill Zone
Inside the tank, the water moves through our proprietary blend of natural mineral media. Think of these minerals as microscopic magnets that instantly neutralize algae, bacteria, and viruses on contact. This process also naturally prevents scale buildup on your pool walls, doing the heavy lifting that gallons of harsh chemicals used to do.
Healthy & Safe
Water returns to your pool soft and conditioned. A single chlorine tablet in your skimmer handles the "cleanup" (oxidation) of dead bacteria. Since the minerals have already done the heavy lifting, you avoid the harsh chemical odors and irritation typical of traditional pools. The result is a swim experience that feels like fresh spring water.

What Our Users Say
“I had a salt system in the past. Now that I have the low-clo, the difference in the chlorine has been really amazing. It's so much better as far as enjoying the pool, the quality of the water, it's always perfectly clear that you never get the red eyes. No one has any skin issues from high chlorine and the system's doing great. It's been installed for six years now, no repair issues. The pool maintenance has been about as simple as it gets compared to any other system. Would definitely buy this system again if I had to move and needed a pool sanitizer. The company's been great to work with, super helpful. They've been there for just about everything I could need as far as answering questions and couldn't recommend them enough.”
“After the hurricane, our pool system… We needed to update it. Our neighbor was familiar with Low-Chlo. He installed the system for us. We've enjoyed it. The water's clear, feels good after you get out. The dogs like to go in and drink it with no chlorine. We feel better. And the water's been great and refreshing, and we definitely recommend it to others."
“I'm a former pool guy of 15 years. Had a route of about 30 customers and I had my own personal pool put in here. Plenty of oak trees, plenty of pollen and every single spring for three, four months, I was shocking my pool every week. I knew what I was doing. I had help and I couldn't keep the algae out of my pool till I got this Low-Chlo system. And I tell you what, I've shocked my pool once a year for the last 2+ years that I've had this. And that's only when I've had a heavy bathing load. I don't know how it works, but all I know is that it works. And I tell all my friends, don't get a salt system, get this system. It's so maintenance free. It is the way to go and I swear by it.”
“It's like swimming in the creek, really. I mean, it's like swimming in well water. You can open your eyes, you don't get burned, you don't have that chlorine smell. I grew up swimming in the creek, so it's a natural transition for me.”
“Since I've been using the Low-Chlo, I have honestly not touched this pool in over two and a half weeks. I was out of the country. I usually only put two tabs in every 10 days. I use the Dolphin Cleaner and that's it. I don't do anything else. I love it. It's low maintenance. There's no mechanics to it. The salt system was always having a problem. I was always buying liquid chlorine to keep up, but now, I haven't had any problems.”
“Ever since you guys got that Low-Chlo system, service has been a breeze - minimal chemicals. Obviously it's gonna benefit the customer, the company as well. It's a night and day difference, minimal work, and it pretty much handles itself.”
“Well, it's practically maintenance-free. You don't have to do anything once you get your water balance. It works perfect. I like it when it's crystal blue and I can see the bottom of the pool. Know that it's clean and safe. I've seen other people's pools and half the time I wouldn't even want to get in them because I can't see the bottom very clear. That's always a problem with me. Anybody that's got a pool, it's kind of a no-brainer as far as taking care of it. And I'm the one that takes care of it. So if I can make it as easy as possible, that's what you want to do.”
“I love the low amounts of chlorine, which are chlorines, carcinogen, the comfort, because you're basically swimming in like bath water. It's not too hard, not too soft. It doesn't burn your eyes. It doesn't discolor your clothes. It doesn't dry your skin out completely. We have lots of kids that swim, but I have never had a problem maintaining my pool's clarity.”
“Low maintenance of it from a pool aspect of maintaining a pool. The water comes out crystal clear. Never had a problem with checking the levels of the pool. Everything comes out perfect. Kids love it, doesn't burn their eyes. My wife loves it and the girls love it. Doesn't change her hair color. It's been for 20 years, it has been like one of the best things that we've had is on the pool that's been so easy to take care of. Over 20 years, based on everything else I would have to have for a pool without the filter, thousands, thousands of dollars for sure.”
“I wanted a solution that would keep me from breaking my back clean and scrubbing a pool. So that was the seller. Less maintenance. It saves my back. It saves our skin. I don't get out of the pool dry. I can just get dressed if I need to without having to wash all that chlorine off. And it doesn't burn. My eyes don't burn. It doesn't smell. I'm happy because I've got 11 grandkids and they can get in and I don't worry about them. We went from spending about $1,000 a season on filters and the big pucks of chlorine. They're like $200 a piece. And we'd go through two of those plus shock, which is extremely expensive. Now we put a puck in once a week. That's about it. So it may be I spend $50 a season compared to the thousand. It's incredible.”
“It's crazy that everybody didn't know about this. I've had it 23 years. I thought everybody had one. I don't have to mess with it. I don't have to do anything else to my pool except put the chlorine tabs in. No other chemicals, no maintenance, no worrying. I've never worried about that tank. The water in my pool, you could drink it. It's like spring water to me.”
Questions & Answers
Low-Chlo is a patented pool sanitizer that uses a proprietary metallic media inside a tank plumbed after your filter to kill bacteria, algae, and viruses as water circulates. It reduces chlorine in the pool to very low levels—typically less than 1 part per million—while still keeping the water safe and clean. Think of it as bringing commercial-grade water treatment technology into a residential backyard pool without adding electronics or salt cells.
Salt systems generate chlorine by electrolysis and rely on a salt cell and control electronics, which can fail, scale up, or require periodic replacement. They also introduce large amounts of salt that can contribute to corrosion and damage on metal fixtures, stonework, and surrounding hardscapes over time. Low-Chlo uses no salt cell, no electrolysis, and no added salt, helping avoid those repair costs and corrosion worries while still giving you low-chlorine, comfortable water.
Because the system maintains less than 1 ppm of chlorine in the swimming area, the water typically feels softer and has much less “pool smell” than a traditional chlorine pool. Many owners notice less eye, skin, and hair irritation and a more “fresh water” swimming experience while still maintaining disinfection equivalent to municipal drinking water in the circulation line.
The system is specifically designed to allow for very low chlorine levels in the pool, which can be more comfortable for sensitive swimmers. With fewer harsh chemical byproducts in the swimming area and no salt added to the water, many families find it easier on skin, eyes, and hair compared to traditional high-chlorine or salt pools.
Most residential setups run on less than 1 ppm of chlorine in the pool when Low-Chlo is installed and functioning properly. The owner’s manual recommends using one or sometimes two 3-inch chlorine tablets in the skimmer or chlorinator, depending on pool size and water temperature, to oxygenate dead bacteria so they can be captured in the filter.
On a typical residential pool, once the system is installed and adjusted, you will mainly:
- Keep 1–2 chlorine tablets in the skimmer or chlorinator.
- Run the pump 8–12 hours per day.
- Brush or vacuum the pool weekly and clean/backwash the filter as needed.You avoid constant heavy chlorine dosing and the ongoing salt-cell and electronics management of a salt system.
Yes, Low-Chlo is designed to be installed after your existing filter and before a heater if present, and it is compatible with all common pool filter types (sand, DE, and cartridge). The system can also help descale the inside of heaters by reducing scaling and lowering chlorine levels before the heater.
Yes. The manual includes a clear process for converting a salt-chlorinated pool to a Low-Chlo fresh-water setup. The basic steps involve installing the Low-Chlo system, gradually diluting the pool to bring salinity under 2000 ppm (usually by partially draining and refilling), then opening the Low-Chlo bypass and running the system.
The system can be installed by a skilled DIYer, but the manual recommends installation by a pool professional to ensure correct plumbing and bypass setup. A PVC bypass manifold must be installed on the return line after the filter, with flow arrows oriented correctly. Incorrect plumbing can prevent the system from working properly, so following the manual is critical.
Low-Chlo provides a Free 10-year warranty on the entire system. Systems must be registered with installation date and an installation photo in the warranty database to receive full coverage.
