Description
Do you have itchy skin, coughing, sneezing, or rashes while in your hot tub? Are you tired of the chemical smell or feeling gross from your hot tub? Eliminate it, most of the cholorine, and all of the work with iONRx.My daughter has a chlorine allergy and that's why we created iONRx. iONRx has been used commercially for over a decade and is now available for residential hot tubs.
It's been tested by the EPA and received CAT IV clearance meaning it is as safe as drinking water!
iONRx is one of the most effective natural, chemical free hot tub treatments on the market and will sanitize better and longer than any competitor. If you thought your hot tub was clean before, you'll be shocked at what iONRx will do.
No hassle, no smell and clear water. Get back to enjoying your hot tub rather than avoiding your hot tub because of chemical smells or sensitivity to chemicals like chlorine. Our customers go from never being able to enjoy their hot tub to using it 2-3 times a week or more. Never use anything else again and never worry about what's getting on your skin or in your blood!
An oxidizer is still required and we recommend chlorine. With iONRx, it's tap water levels of chlorine. Other products require crazy high levels of chlorine because it evaporates out and you end up bathing in toxic chemicals that cause respiratory issues, rashes and more. But not with iONRx!
