Wish I had found Sparkle Plus years ago!,
July 10, 2009
By tinsle
from Chicago, IL
|
Pros: Works unbelievably well
Cons: Kind of messy/sticky when cleaning out the skimmer basket
"This product is great. My pool is crystal clean even after a hard rain, hot weather or heavy use. I wrap the cube in fine netting in the event I have to remove it while cleaning the skimmer. This gives me the opportunity to safely clean off the gel "package" with a hose. I place it back in the skimmer and the water continues to look great!
I recommend this in a big way!"

10 STARS! Greatest cube ever!,
June 7, 2009
By breatheoflife
from Massillon, OH
|
Pros: Keeps water crystal clear, saves $$$ on chemicals!
Cons: NONE!
"I used this little cube last summer..always had a problem with cloudy water..NO MORE! This cube works GREAT! Cleared my water up overnight AND I am spending ALOT less money on chemicals! All I have to do is weekly maintenance and keep my pool vacuumed! A REAL time saver! You will definitely want to drop this into like a knee high stocking or pantyhose of some kind..that will rid of all the problems everyone has mentioned with bugs and going through pipes and such."

good product but..,

Pros: kept pool sparkling clean and used less chemicals
Cons: gel square got pushed back into pipe and had to cut it out to get to it
"It was the best year last year with sparkling clear water and had to only use my chemicals once a week before had to add almost every day but the cubes when turning off pump gets sucked back into pipe a couple of times and the last time I had to actually cut out a section of the pipe because it clogged the pipe so my water would not run to the pump."

Pros: No more alum
Cons: Can't think of any
"Sparkle maintains crystal clear water effortlessly and continuously. The product keeps the water consistently clear. We keep and extra one on hand so that when one dissolves, we add the other."

A Must for Sand Filter Users,
December 15, 2008
By FloridaBob
from Orlando, FL
|
Pros: Clears water, lasts long
Cons: May want something to keep it in the skimmer
"Clears the water better than anything I've used. Advertised to last 4-6 weeks, but I've found they easily last that long, sometimes longer. Gets pretty slimy and oozy after a couple of weeks and can get sucked whole into the filter instead of just slowly dissolving, and a couple times they floated out of the skimmer, so something like a small floating chlorinator or plastic container (e.g. small peanut butter jar or butter tub) that will fit in your skimmer, with holes drilled in it works well."

Water Sparkles Like Diamonds !!!,
October 19, 2008
By Springckn
from Houston
|
Pros: Easy to use; works within a few hours
Cons: none yet
"I'm a new user for Sparkle Plus. My water always looks pretty good but I thought it could use a little pizzazz. We have a LOT of surrounding foliage and have to combat the mess constantly. So I tried one of the little cubes, figuring it probably wouldn't make much difference. But, boy was I wrong. In 24 hours after adding "the cube," my pool was sparkling like a diamond in the sun. I will update this review if it changes. But for now, my pool looks better than it ever has -- with a minimum of effort and at low cost too."

Really works, good stuff,
June 19, 2008
By Dchiefster
from Tennessee
|
Pros: Keeps pool Crystal Clear, cuts down on chemical usage
Cons: Slimmy, debris sticks to cube in strainer
"This little cube is magic. Works as it says 4 Weeks. I held back on chemicals for 3 weeks just to see if it really worked. I had a center line (balanced) readings on chemicals for 3 weeks before I noticed any change. Slight clouding began so I started up chemical regime, and put another cube in at 4 weeks. Cut back on my chemicals by 65% or so. I placed the cube in a stocking knee high and tied it tightly to the skimmer basket handle to do away with the slim problem, worked great. You will be surprised at what this cube will do if you haven't tried it. I purchased a similar product at a local pool store for half the price, but it didn't work as well as the Sparkle plus."

Works Every Time,
August 23, 2007
By SantaGreg
|
Pros: Clears 15,000 gallons overnight
Cons: slimy when in use, but this is minor
"This product is great! In the heat of the summer, our pool used tio cloud badly, due to excessive use. Sparkle Plus is the only product I found that clears it up overnight and keeps it clear for 4 weeks. They are easy to use, just drop them in the skimmer, and they go to work!
I recommend these to everyone!!!"

In-expensive product keeps pool clear,
August 20, 2007
By aquagirl
|
Pros: Has kept our phospate levels under control
"For some reason, our in-ground vinyl pool has had a problem with cloudy water during the past two summers, with the cause being high phosphate levels. Used the Sparkle Plus Cube, along with the Phree & Clear Balance Tablets during the last month and our pool has stayed clear. Much cheaper using the cube than the Phospate Remover chemicals sold by local pool stores. Will be changing our sand next spring, but might check into the Zeobrite Filter Media."

Incredibly Effective,
August 12, 2007
By PoolLubber
|
Pros: Convenient, Long Lasting
Cons: None
"I have been running my pool with a non-clorine product for the past 3 years and ALWAYS had problem algae. I never saw the bottom of my pool...until this year. This product is incredible! One cube in the skimmer lasts about a month and keeps the water crystal clear. I know when the cube is completely dissolved because my water starts to cloud up again. Insert a new cube and it is crystal clear again the next day. I'll never run my pool without one of these in the skimmer."

Excellent product,
August 9, 2007
By Anonymous

Pros: I have not had a phosphate problem since I began using the cube.
Cons: Bugs and leaves stick to the cube especially as the cube dissolves.
"Typically in the past, I will have an algae burst from phophate buildup from lawn treatments in my neighborhood. This product has eliminated the problem. I have learned to place the cube in a fine mesh bag and this has minimized the mess of bugs and leaves sticking to the cube."

Easy & Effective,

Pros: Two blocks lasts us the whole season.
Cons: Have not been able to locate the product anywhere but "In The Swim."
"Just drop a cube in the skimmer basket and within a few hours the water is noticably more clear, even vibrant. Our Sand Filter now gives us a pool reminiscent of when we had a DE Filter."
