Oxygen Pools Water Treatment
A Cleaner Way to Enjoy Your Pool
The Oxygen Pools water treatment system, effective sanitization without the harsh chemicals, the strong odors, or the constant maintenance routine.
What Is Oxygen Pools?
Clean Water, Powered by Active Oxygen.
Softer on skin and eyes. No chemical smell. Easier to maintain, week to week.
What most pool owners notice first
Oxygen Pools is an active oxygen-based water treatment system, a clean, well-proven alternative to traditional chlorine and salt systems. Instead of relying on high levels of harsh chemical sanitizers, it uses active oxygen to keep your water clear, balanced, and safe for swimming.
The result is water that feels noticeably different. Softer on skin and eyes. Free of the chemical smell most pool owners accept as normal. Easier to maintain week to week. And gentler on your pool equipment, liner, and surroundings over time.
It's not a new concept, oxygen-based sanitation has a strong track record in commercial and residential pools, but it's not yet widely known. That's changing, and for good reason.
Why Pool Owners Are Making the Switch
Four Reasons It's Worth a Look
The benefits aren't theoretical, they're the things you feel every time you get in the water, and the things you'll appreciate years down the road.
Gentler on Swimmers
No red eyes, no irritated skin, no bleached swimsuits. Active oxygen sanitizes effectively without the byproducts that make traditional chlorine uncomfortable for regular swimmers.
Less Chemical Dependency
Fewer products to buy, measure, and balance. The Oxygen Pools system simplifies your maintenance routine without compromising water quality.
No Harsh Odor
That distinctive chlorine smell isn't actually chlorine, it's a byproduct of chlorine reacting with contaminants. Oxygen-treated water doesn't produce it.
Better for Your Pool
Lower chemical load means less wear on your liner, equipment, and pool surfaces over time, a practical long-term benefit most owners don't think about until something needs replacing.
Sanitizing at the Source
Active oxygen is injected into your pool automatically, where it goes to work on contaminants directly — breaking them down in seconds, then returning to plain oxygen with no lingering chemical residue.
Active oxygen is injected into the pool water automatically.
It makes contact with a contaminant and breaks through the cell wall.
The cell wall is broken down quickly as oxygen keeps reacting.
The cell loses its shape as more of the wall comes apart.
In a few seconds, the contaminant can't survive — and the cell dies.
The same well-established oxidation process trusted in commercial and residential pools — now keeping your backyard water clear and comfortable.
The System
Two Parts, Working Together
A generator that does the everyday work and a shock treatment that keeps water crystal clear, both built to fit the pool you already have.
Dynamic Oxygen Generator
Installs inline with your existing pump — no major plumbing changes required. It introduces active oxygen into the water automatically as your pool circulates, doing the day-to-day sanitizing for you.
Formula “O” Oxidizing Shock
Keeps water crystal clear and eliminates organic contaminants — without chlorine or the harsh byproducts that come with it. Contains no chlorine and works alongside the generator to handle heavier loads.
Compatible with most setups. Formulated for use with ozone, salt, or standard chlorine pools — so in most cases there's no need to start over.
Is It Right for Your Pool?
The Best Way to Find Out Is to Come In.
Oxygen Pools works with most standard above-ground pool setups, but the right answer depends on your specific situation, pool size, current equipment, and how you use it. There's no substitute for talking it through.
We've worked with the Oxygen Pools system and can give you a straight assessment of whether it makes sense for your pool. No pressure, just an honest conversation.
Straight Answers
Your Pool Questions, Answered Straight.
How is Oxygen Pools different from a saltwater system?
A saltwater system still produces chlorine, it just generates it from salt rather than adding it directly. Oxygen Pools uses a fundamentally different sanitizing process based on active oxygen, which means fewer chlorine byproducts and a noticeably different feel in the water.
Do I need to replace my existing equipment to use Oxygen Pools?
In most cases, no. The system is designed to work with standard pool setups. Come in with your pool size and equipment details and we'll walk you through exactly what's involved.
How often should I test my pool water?
During the swimming season — May through September in Maryland — once a week is the baseline. After heavy rain, a large pool party, or any time you notice a change in water color or clarity, test again before adding anything.
In-store computerized testing gives you a more complete picture than test strips, which only measure a few parameters and lose accuracy as they age. Our in-store analysis covers pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, sanitizer levels, and more — and it's always free. Most customers bring a sample every two to three weeks during the season and call it done. When something looks off between visits, that's when to come in.
A good habit: keep a simple log of your test results and what you added. It takes two minutes and makes every future diagnosis faster — including ours when you bring in a sample.
Is oxygen-based sanitation as effective as chlorine?
Yes, when the system is properly maintained. Active oxygen is a well-established sanitizing agent with a strong track record. The key is following the maintenance protocol, which we'll walk you through when you purchase the system.
How do I get started?
Stop by the showroom with your pool size and current equipment details. We'll give you a straight assessment of whether Oxygen Pools is the right fit, explain what's involved, and answer anything else you're wondering about. No pressure, no upsell, that's how we've operated since 1969.
