Enviroswim ES3

I've maintained 2 chlorine pools, 2 salt water pools and an Enviroswim. The Enviroswim isn't zero maintenance but it has been the easiest to maintain. I've spent insignificant amount of chemicals compared to salt and chlorine pools. Even if it were the HARDEST and most expensive to maintain, I'd still buy it, because it's fresh water. I've drunk… Read more

it. I'm about to install Enviroswim in another pool.

My favourite thing about it is the reactions from friends. To them it's like magic.

Over the past 15 years, we’ve had three pools installed at three different homes—all with Enviroswim sanitation systems. We wanted a product that was locally made, locally owned, and locally supported—and Enviroswim has proven superior in every way. It’s economical to run, safe, and delivers pure, crystal-clear water every single day of the year. … Read more

Interestingly, at each installation, we were “politely” encouraged to consider alternatives—salt, ozone, mineral systems…you name it. Sales at quotation stage, would ask, “Why Enviroswim?” and we’d smile and say, “Because it actually works!” The answer is simple: it’s the only swimming pool sanitation system that’s rigorously tested, safe, and reliable. No one should buy a pool in this day and age that is more chemistry lab than oasis. Enviroswim delivers the oasis, and besides, you can't drink from a salt, ozone, or mineral system...but you can swim in this.

All three pools have run flawlessly with minimal maintenance—less than 30 minutes a week—and the water has never looked better. It’s gentle on skin and eyes, eco-friendly, and has saved us hundreds in running costs compared to other systems we were offered.

Highly recommended and a complete no-brainer to operate. A special shout-out to Jamie King, Operations Manager at Enviroswim, whose personalized approach makes working with this QLD company seamless and stress-free, even when our pool installer had no idea how to install and recommended adding chlorine...we don't ever want to hear that word again.

If you want the best, Enviroswim is the way to go. Crystal-clear pools, peace of mind, and no sales pressure—what more could you ask for?

Great product and after sales support has been fantastic – Got this for our pool. The water looks great, no nasty chemical feeling when you get out, minimal maintenance needed and their customer service has been exemplary. Especially Jamie. Well worth the money Show details

best pool filtration system – love our Enviroswim pool controller, we have a 8 x 3 mtr magnesium pool and after 2 years of some uninformed pool company cleaning our pool we reached out to Enviroswim and they had a new dealer here on the Qld sunshine coast who knew how to manage and calibrate the system properly our pool is now sparkling clean, almost no chemicals needed and… Read more ·  1

ever so happy. If u want a no-noncence system with little to no ongoing chemicals this is the one for you. Make sure your service company has been trained by Enviroswim or change service providers.

Great when it was working, pure sparkling water. After 4 years, controller failed, but shipped replacement – The unit was sent back and they claimed the main PCB was broken, and they cannot provide replacement part, as they have updated the units. The company worked with me to find a compromise and shipped back a working second-hand unit to replace the failed one. Show details ·  1

WORSE LOSS OF POOL INVESTMENT EVER !!! – Worst Pool System ever worked okay for first couple of years. Same as warranty period ??!! Rang and spoke to [Name Removed] for Product support. Absolutely none. Losing integrity of water levels and staining was starting on walls now 3 months later an absolute nightmare. Just wanted to know who could service and check system was working okay… Read more

here in NSW. Was told problem with pool shell nothing to do with ENVIROSWIM. They were only the manufacturer. So good luck to anyone ringing and asking for support there isn't any. Should have just thrown out Enviroswim but not so easy to throw out a damaged pool shell now because it has caused the problem !! Cant sell my house and have lots of money and time lost !!!

Excellent Water Quality – Had an Enviroswim system for 5 years now and super pleased with the water quality. In that time I have had to replace the electrodes once. For the upcoming season I am replacing both the electrodes and oxidiser plates, so consider the consumption of these to be fair and overall a cheap system to run. Even if it was more expensive, I wouldn't be concerned as the water quality surpasses anything else I have tried. Show details ·  1

You wonder why everyone isn't using it – Have had this in the pool for 2 years now. Can't fault it. Quality of the water is amazing and it is very easy to maintain. And cheap. Acid and bicarb are all I've ever added. This system will eventually take over the pool market, I have no doubt. Show details ·  1

Does what it says, best after sales service I’ve ever encountered – We have found the ES3 system easily maintains our pool with minimal effort or fuss. A fresh water pool is in itself a major advantage and the chemical and running costs are a fraction of chlorinated pool costs. The after sales service is the best I’ve ever encountered, no exaggeration.  Show 2 replies

Fresh is best! – I just got my new Enviroswim ES3 pool set up and commissioned by Platinum Pool and Spa Centre on the Gold Coast. I live in Southport and Platinum Pool Care came highly recommended by Enviroswim themselves. I got them to supply, install and commission the Enviroswim system for me and they did a cracking job. The process involved draining the… Read more ·  1

existing water to a level which was sufficient to reduce the chemical content in the water. They then refilled the pool with fresh water and that was that! So stoked with our decision to go with Enviroswim and Platinum!

Great product for a chemical free fresh water pool – We purchased a property with the Enviroswim system already installed and we are really happy with its performance. Once you become familiar with its operation and with minimal maintenance this system produces sparkling clear fresh water for your swimming pool. What a difference a chemical free pool makes and we would highly recommend you consider this system when installing your pool. Show details ·  1

Amazing product, Soft water and No Smell – Once you have used this product it is so responsive, simple and most of all easy. The water is clear, soft and no smells. We only ad acid to our pool and twice a year a few kilo's of Bi Carb Soda.... We tried another brand which didn't work at all. As soon as we swapped to Enviroswim our pool has been magnificant. We have had Enviroswim for 6 years... Andrea & Rohan Show details ·  1

Disappointing nightmare – We have struggled with our enviroswim pool for over 12 months. Trying to get the Ph right has been a trial. While all the brochures say test once a month and get a pool shop test every three months, we have been testing almost weekly. We have never been able to get our copper far above zero. The equipment was replaced by our pool company and… Read more

still no copper. We have found that you need to use much more acid than advertised. Our pool shop said this is the case for everyone. Our pool installer is trying to deal with enviroswim to find out what’s happening but so far nothing. We love swimming in the fresh water but really the whole system has not lived up to its claims at all.

Sales experience only – To be upfront I don't own one of these units; my review is based only on customer experience with their sales team. Their lack of responsiveness didn't fill me with confidence so I've looked elsewhere for a unit to replace my salt chlorinator. I sent an email to Enviroswim asking for some details on where I could buy their system and the cost,… Read more

together with some basic details on installation, but got no response. I then tried calling them but the lady on the phone had literally no idea about their products (didn't know what this ES3 unit was, its price or how to buy). She told me to look on their website - she mentioned she had just started but you would think some basic training would be provided before being put in that position. Was told I would be called by one of the more experienced staff, but never heard back.

connect 10 /enviroswim – hi i am having an pool installed and was going for the es3 with astral connect 10 filtration was told that they are not compatible has any one had the same experience and why there not compatible and if there is a solution Show details

Love swimming in the crystal clear fresh water – Had this installed with our new pool, admittedly with some hesitation due to the higher price point, despite all the positive reviews, but I have been absolutely amazed at how well it works. I knew I didn't want a chlorine system, as I've never enjoyed the stinging of my eyes or the skin irritation afterwards. I looked into salt water, and also… Read more ·  1

the magnesium-based systems, but for reasons that escape my memory now, I went with the Enviroswim. My pool supplier happily obliged but they had minimal experience with it, so just said "all the best". My local pool chemical supplier was downright negative about freshwater systems in general (though they didn't know the Enviroswim system specifically).

As mentioned, I am really happy with it, and my whole family (especially my wife) is so glad that we went with this because of the the pleasantness of swimming in fresh water - compared to chlorine and salt water pools. The water is always clean and clear, with the pump running about 8 hours per day throughout spring, summer and now in autumn.

I monitor the pH and alkalinity once per week, and the copper once per month. The copper, which is managed through a dial on a control unit, has not needed adjusting after the first month. The pH has been relatively steady with a regular top-up through a controlled constant dosing system that I got installed. The alkalinity is what I've had the biggest trouble with. I added many kilograms of buffer to the water and failed to get it in range for the first 4-5 months, but it finally seems to be settling now - no idea why though.

All up, I highly recommend the Enviroswim E3.

Very Happy - Two Summers and hassle free – I purchased the ES3 to move away from chlorine and getter softer water that wouldn't eyes, the garden etc. Very happy with this system. As others have noted scheduled testing of PH etc. and copper is still required, which is fine. It is a very inexpensive system to run. Every swimmer likes the water and I like the comparatively hassle free maintenance Show details

Impressive Piece of Kit – After seeing the ES3 on display at the Adelaide Pool and Spa Show, talking to the local distributor and reading existing reviews on this site, I took the plunge and installed my ES3 in May 2018. I have waited until March 2019 to post this review so I could see how it performed in the more challenging summer months. Happy to say, I'm very… Read more

impressed. My primary objective was not actually to achieve a near-freshwater solution but to move away from a flawed & expensive Viron Water Balance liquid chlorine dosing system and avoid the need to keep buying liquid chlorine which gets costly in summer. Installation was relatively straightforward although despite being careful, the clear plastic cylinder cracked but the local dealer sold me a replacement quickly. I chose to drain 2/3 of my pool water to get the TDS and chlorine levels down though this did leave some residual chlorine in the water. Since the unit has been running it has exceeded my expectations. My water stays crystal clear right through the year. After commissioning I had some small loose white deposits appear on the pool floor which gave me some concern but that appeared to be triggered by the residual chlorine and did not return after vacuuming. If I go away, I turn the unit off in case of leaks or low pool water levels and chuck some liquid chlorine in to protect the water during this period and the same white deposits appear temporarily once the ES3 is restarted. Within 1 or 2 cycles after restarting, the pool water is beautiful and clear again. I'm now actually experimenting with reducing the pump time down from 5 to 3 hours a day to see if I can reduce power consumption whilst retaining sufficient sanitisation. Room for improvement - The clear plastic cylindrical housing is a little delicate during installation & not sure how well the controller housing will stand up to corrosion over time. It looks to be powder-coated steel and I'm in a salty-air environment which is not a good mix. The controller looks a little dated but this is a small price to pay for reliability. I still retain the Viron Water Balance unit to control the timing and dose liquid acid. Bottom line - so far, so good and would thoroughly recommend the ES3.

Just loving the Fresh water quality – We have had Chlorinated pools for many years , which we were reasonably happy with , but last year it started to be problematic and just I was about to replace the unit my daughter suggested a Chlorine Free pool as our two Grand daughters would be using the pool frequently. I looked into various brands and found it difficult to decide what would… Read more

be best . Our daughter & son-in-law run their own business “Healthyabode” and they assured me they had done all the homework on the various systems , and conviced me Enviroswim was the best. We got in touch with Carl and had the system fitted last year , best decision ever. Spoke to Carl as I was concerned leaving the pool for a 3 week holiday, he advised what to do , and it was perfect on our return. The water quality is so good I’m in there nearly everyday ( weather permitting) Thanks to Phil & Carl

Extremely Good Quality Water – My Lap pool is fiberglass with an ES3 hooked up to Intelli chem controller and dosing pumps which inject doses of acid and chlorine in very accurate amounts to get the chemistry of water perfect.The pool is crystal clear and no debris as it is fully enclosed. Show details

Just love this pool. No rising after, save water, even wash my hair in it! – Living in Northern NSW, we've had the pool for over three years now. It was chlorine when we bought the house and I couldn't swim due to itching and sore eyes etc plus overall health concerns. Since installing the Enviroswim we couldn't be happier. To be honest it's MUCH less maintenance that I had been told. Almost set and forget once you've… Read more ·  1

established the parameters and got used to the testing procedures. Despite torrential rains at times and then the recent sweltering drought conditions, very little adjustment is needed in my 65,000 ltr pebblecrete pool. The children swim underwater all the time with no red eyes, no need to shower after so saving on tank water. No chemicals being absorbed while we swim and I even wash my hair in the pool from time to time (no sudsing chemical free handmade shampoo) with no ill effect on the pool. Two sets of friends have installed the system since swimming in ours. There really is no comparison out there in the market as far as I am aware. Cuts cost dramatically on chemicals as little to none are needed. So I am 100% a fan. As an aside, the charming Carl from customer service was just able to give me some excellent advice with a question I had. I can't fault this system in any way and would highly recommend to anyone considering one.

Great system! Chlorine-free and hassle-free – We had our Enviroswim installed when we built our pool in late 2014. I was initially sceptical when our pool builders mentioned a non-chlorinated, non-salt system as a possible option, but they put us in touch with another client who'd had it running for a while and they were very happy with it. We decided to go with Enviroswim and are glad we… Read more ·  1

did. Having grown up with a chlorinated pool that required constant attention and chemical adjustments (especially after rain when it would frequently turn green), I've been very impressed with how problem-free this system is. It doesn't need much attention to run smoothly and it doesn't require many chemicals (only hydrochloric acid, buffer and sometimes phosphate remover if leaf litter accumulates); the pool water doesn't smell of chlorine while swimming; you don't smell like chlorine after swimming and your hair doesn't turn green; the pool has never turned green (even after heavy rain). We initially had a pool maintenance man scheduled to visit once a month, then once a quarter, before we told him we no longer needed him because the pool requires so little attention. We don't hesitate to recommend this system to any friends who are building pools. The company has also been very good at answering any queries we've had over the last four years.

Nothing but trouble – High Cooper levels made my Daughters hair go green rang the pool builder several times he come out and check it and told me to empty half the pool the levels was like 4.8 Then we had trouble with the cell from the start it varies from 6-15 again when I rang the pool company he couldn’t help me he sold the business so he could care less  Show details

The perfect solution – We are very happy with Enviroswim, our daughter is a paid swimming instructor in chloride pools and loves a chlorine free pool. We have many visitors who are also very impressed that there is no chlorine. We are very relieved that it is just as effective in the shade. Thanks  Show details ·  1
