A better experience 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
Harsh & 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
A Healthier Swim & Minimal Maintenance
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.
High chlorine levels and salt systems can be harsh on your skin, eyes, and pool equipment. Low-Chlo significantly reduces chemical load — so swimming feels the way it should.
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 — ensuring the right water pressure pushes through the system without slowing your pump or straining your equipment.
The Treatment Zone
Inside the tank, water moves through our proprietary blend of natural mineral media. These minerals work to neutralize algae and bacteria on contact, while naturally helping to prevent scale buildup on your pool walls — doing the heavy lifting that large volumes of harsh chemicals used to do.
Clean & Comfortable
Water returns to your pool soft and conditioned. A single chlorine tablet in your skimmer handles oxidation of dead bacteria. Since the minerals have already done the heavy lifting, you avoid the harsh chemical odors and skin irritation typical of traditional pools. The result is a swim experience that feels fresh, soft, and gentle.
How does this pool get sanitized?
The way it sanitizes the pool is simple. The technical term is oxidation reduction. This happens as the water passes through the vortex bottom plate then swirls through the dissimilar metals causing an electrolitic effect where electrons are donated to the molecules in the water causing then to break down. Other metals in the blend are also releasing ions which destroys the cellular body of organisms. Then we use the chlorine tablet to oxidize these dead particles back to a solid to filter them out.
Patented Solution
No Electricity Required
Vortex Technology
No Salt Cell to Replace
Low-Chlo is one of the most effective ways to simplify pool maintenance and enjoy noticeably cleaner, more comfortable water.
High chlorine levels can be harsh and irritating. Salt systems can be expensive to maintain and repair.

Questions & Answers
Low-Chlo is a patented pool sanitization system that uses a proprietary blend of metallic media inside a tank plumbed after your existing filter. As water circulates through the tank, the mineral media works to neutralize algae and bacteria, helping maintain clear, balanced water with significantly reduced chlorine levels — typically less than 1 part per million. The system requires no electricity, no salt cell, and no added electronics, making it compatible with your existing pool setup.
Salt systems generate chlorine through electrolysis, relying on a salt cell and control electronics that can scale up, fail, or require periodic replacement. The salt itself can contribute to accelerated wear on metal fixtures, stonework, and surrounding hardscapes over time. Low-Chlo uses no salt cell, no electrolysis, and no added salt — helping reduce those ongoing repair costs while still delivering low-chlorine, comfortable water.
UV and ozone systems treat water only while it physically passes through the unit — they cannot maintain a sanitizer residual in the pool when the pump is off. Because of this limitation, most manufacturers pair them with a salt system to maintain the necessary chlorine levels between cycles. That means you're paying for additional UV or ozone hardware while still managing all the ongoing costs of a salt system. Low-Chlo is designed to provide continuous mineral-based conditioning through your existing pump cycle, without requiring a separate salt system alongside it.
Because the system helps maintain less than 1 ppm of chlorine in the swimming area, the water typically feels softer and has significantly less chemical odor than a traditional chlorine pool. Many owners report less eye, skin, and hair irritation and a noticeably fresher swimming experience compared to high-chlorine or salt systems.
Low-Chlo is designed to allow for very low chlorine levels in the pool, which many swimmers find more comfortable than traditional high-chlorine systems. With a significantly reduced chemical load and no salt added to the water, many families report a gentler experience on skin, eyes, and hair compared to conventional chlorine or salt pools.
Most residential pools run on less than 1 ppm of chlorine in the pool when Low-Chlo is installed and operating correctly. The owner's manual recommends placing one or two 3-inch chlorine tablets in the skimmer or an inline chlorinator — depending on pool size and water temperature — to oxidize dead bacteria so they can be captured by the filter.
On a typical residential pool, once the system is installed and adjusted, your regular routine involves keeping 1–2 chlorine tablets in the skimmer or chlorinator, running the pump 8–12 hours per day, and brushing or vacuuming the pool weekly while cleaning or backwashing the filter as needed. Compared to a salt system, you avoid the ongoing salt-cell management, regular acid handling, and electronic maintenance that salt systems require.
Yes. Low-Chlo is designed to be installed after your existing filter and before a heater if one is present. It is compatible with all common pool filter types — sand, DE, and cartridge. When installed before the heater, the system can also help reduce scaling inside the heater by lowering chlorine levels and mineral buildup before the water reaches it.
Yes. The owner's manual includes a step-by-step process for converting a salt-chlorinated pool to a Low-Chlo freshwater setup. The process involves installing the Low-Chlo system, gradually diluting the pool water to bring salinity below 2,000 ppm — typically by partially draining and refilling — then opening the Low-Chlo bypass and running the system normally. It is not necessary to fully drain the pool, and doing so is not recommended as it can cause structural issues.
The system can be installed by a confident DIYer following the included owner's manual, but professional installation by a qualified pool technician is recommended to ensure correct plumbing and bypass setup. A PVC bypass manifold must be installed on the return line after the filter, with flow direction oriented correctly per the manual. Incorrect installation can affect system performance, so reviewing the full installation guide before starting is strongly advised.
Low-Chlo provides a 10-year comprehensive warranty on the system, covering the media tank, tank head, and bypass assembly. To receive full coverage, systems must be registered with the installation date and an installation photo uploaded to the warranty database. Registration can be completed at Warranty page.
