Smarter Pool Care with Lasting Mineral-Based Algae Control Maintaining a clean, healthy pool shouldn’t require a chemistry degree—or constant overuse of chlorine. With the Pool RX Black/White Mineral Unit (Model 99066), you can simplify your water treatment program, reduce chlorine usage, and keep algae at bay for up to 6 months—all with one compact, easy-to-use solution.
Designed specifically for pools between 20,000 and 30,000 gallons, this Pool RX unit contains a proprietary blend of chelated minerals that work alongside chlorine to eliminate green, mustard, and black algae while making chlorine far more effective at lower levels.
Whether you manage a busy service route or just want your backyard pool to stay clean with less effort, this unit delivers the power and protection of modern mineral technology with long-lasting results.
What Is the Pool RX Mineral Unit?
The Pool RX unit is a self-contained, easy-drop-in solution that works with your pool’s existing system. Inside each unit is a proprietary blend of minerals (including silver and copper compounds) that dissolve slowly and evenly into the water, supplementing chlorine by attacking algae and bacteria on a molecular level.
What sets it apart is the use of chelation technology, which prevents metal staining and keeps the active ingredients effective over time. Unlike traditional copper-based systems that can stain pool surfaces or build up on filters, Pool RX minerals remain stable and well-dispersed for months of clean, low-maintenance water.
Key Benefits of the Pool RX 99066 Black/White Unit
✅ Treats Pools from 20,000 to 30,000 Gallons
This unit is calibrated specifically for mid-to-large size pools. Its mineral output is designed to provide maximum coverage while avoiding over-treatment.
✅ Cuts Chlorine Use by Up to 50%
Because Pool RX enhances chlorine’s ability to kill contaminants, you can run your pool at lower chlorine levels (0.5–1.0 ppm) while still maintaining excellent water quality.
✅ Controls Green, Mustard & Black Algae
The mineral blend disrupts algae cell walls and inhibits growth at the root. It also improves chlorine’s ability to oxidize and destroy biofilm colonies that form in plumbing and hidden pool areas.
✅ Easy to Install
Just drop it into the pump basket or skimmer—it begins working immediately. The minerals dissolve uniformly, and there’s no assembly or complicated setup.
✅ Works for Up to 6 Months
One unit can provide continuous mineral coverage for up to half a year, depending on pool use and water conditions. Replacement or booster minerals are available for longer seasons.
✅ Chelated Formula = No Staining
Unlike old-school copper-based solutions, Pool RX minerals are chelated, preventing them from oxidizing and staining vinyl, plaster, or fiberglass surfaces.
How It Works
Place the unit into your pool’s pump basket or skimmer.
Water flows through the unit, releasing minerals into the water.
Minerals circulate throughout the pool, enhancing chlorine’s ability to eliminate bacteria and algae.
The result: clear, algae-free water with less chemical demand and more consistent results.
How to Use the Pool RX 99066 Mineral Unit
Initial Installation:
Place unit directly into the pump basket or skimmer basket.
Run the pump for at least 8 hours per day to ensure full mineral dispersion.
