Hi everyone. I've had a hot tub for a few years and have tried a bunch of different water treatment products or systems. I'm sensitive to chlorine and bromine products. Recently a friend has told me about a new product she has been using for a few months called ionrx. Has anyone used this product? A nice website with some good info. Good reviews and claims to be all natural. Seems like something I might want to try. My friend swears by this product. She says she has never used something this good. Any info would be appreciated Thanks Gary.

This is mostly snake oil. These types of systems can work, but it’s basically like using a Nature2 or SpaFrog mineral cartridge and adding a low level of sanitizer or spa shock, this is nothing new, besides using copper instead of silver ions. I love how they bash on chlorine/bromine but then if you read the FAQ, it says to add chlorine as the oxidizer...so misleading.  The one problem with this is if you use zero chlorine or bromine, and you get the right strains of bacteria in the water, you will get a bad skin infection. If the tub gets light use and you shower before using it each time, a system like this might work, but it’s still a risk.

Thanks MarKee. I appreciate your experience with this. So I just got off of a chat session with one of their rep's. Guy named Matt. I have to be honest they seem like they really are knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and I expressed to him the concerns I had and he pointed me to some of the test data they have done. He directed me on the site to some testing done with independent labs and large universities they work with. They also work with many recreation centers, hotels, and even professional sports teams like the NFL. I am no microbiologist but I am a lawyer, and I know how hard it is to get a patent these days and their technology is patented, which makes me feel more comfortable. Anyways, I ordered one of their starter kits and delivery was free and they offer a money back guarantee, so really don't have much to lose. I will keep everyone updated on how it goes. Honestly, I hope this works....tired of all the issues I am having.

  Is it EPA approved?   If not, it is probably not used in hotels or any public places for that matter.

I believe it is. It mentions the EPA approval they have
