“Been using this system for long enough to have used up several cathods and a controller. Keeps the water crystal clear as long as you keep the water in balance. Plan to keep using this. Very low weekly maintenance.”
“Our system was installed and sold by our local pool company, I was told my first cell would last around 3 months. We didn’t get 6 weeks out of ours. We wrote the warranty and asked if this was normal and was offered 25% off of a new cell…we will be going back to chemicals if I have to pay $200 every other month to run this system as chemicals are way cheaper to maintain.”
Hello Patrick,
As your pool company mentioned, the first cell will always go quicker because more is needed to ramp up the minerals. It's also essential to test the copper level regularly because the settings provided are often too high for the pool, especially in northern areas.
Please check out our blog for ways to extend the cell's life. Again, the most important thing is to test regularly and adjust as needed. If you maintain the copper level between 0.2 ppm and 0.4 ppm and keep the rest of the water chemistry in check, the cell will live an average of 6 months. The cell you show in the picture has a few weeks of life left once the settings are turned down.

When a cell is used up in under two months, we now offer 40% off a new cell as a courtesy. However, it is always the pool owner's responsibility to test copper regularly and adjust as needed.
Thanks!

“This is a thoroughly excellent product. I only use a tiny bit of shock once a week. Clear Blue does the rest. No chemical odour! Every pool and hot tub should have one. Worth every penny!”
“This allowed me to spend less on chemicals and have a crystal clear pool all summer long. The smell of chlorine was zero. I love this system. So easy to use.”
“I’ve had the ClearBlue system for 2 months now and couldn’t be happier! Clear water, no more chemicals other than occasional muriatic acid (3.6 oz) when pH heads above 7.8. Water feels great!
I will be bringing over half a dozen slightly used pool chemicals to the hazardous waste facility in my city!”
