Mineral Pools
When you’re buying a pool, you have the option to make it a salt chlorinated or chlorinated pool. However, you may learn that there are health benefits to using mineral pools over the other popular types. Mineral pools are known for being a healthier solution than to using just chlorine. While mineral pools use potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and sodium chloride, they also require the use of chlorine. What sets apart these pools from the other types is that mineral pools use roughly 50% less chlorine than fully chlorinated pools
Mineral pools are the most natural pool option you can get, without the harmful bacteria that comes with naturally made pools! They are also well renowned throughout history and have stood the test of time, with even the ancient Romans using them in their bathhouses and using minerals to sterilise their aqueducts.
Unlike chlorinated pools, which require you to purchase chemicals on a regular basis to continually maintain the pool, mineral pools use sanitising cartridges. These cartridges house the few chemicals needed to run the pool correctly and safely. Fortunately, they only need to be replaced every one to two years. Mineral pools are easy for the pool owner to wants to keep things simple and sweet in regard to pool maintenance. Plus, these pools are better for the swimmers as there are less harsh chemicals needed.

Still Unsure? Here Are Reasons To Get A Mineral Pool!
Healthier and Gentler on the Skin: Mineral pools utilize a combination of minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium instead of traditional chlorine-based sanitizers. These minerals are known for their soothing and healing properties, providing a more gentle and natural swimming experience. Mineral pools can be especially beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin, allergies, or respiratory conditions.
Reduced Chlorine Dependency: While traditional chlorine is effective in disinfecting pools, it can cause skin and eye irritation, dry out the hair, and emit a strong odor. Mineral pools require significantly less chlorine, as the minerals work synergistically to inhibit the growth of bacteria and algae. This reduced dependency on chlorine results in a more enjoyable swimming environment with reduced chemical exposure.
Enhanced Water Clarity: Mineral pools are known for their crystal-clear water. The minerals used in these pools help to improve water clarity by effectively trapping impurities and preventing the formation of scale and staining. This means less time and effort spent on pool maintenance and a consistently inviting pool for you and your guests.

The minerals present in the water are believed to have therapeutic properties, promoting relaxation, stress relief, and improved sleep. For example, magnesium, a common mineral found in mineral pools, is known to help relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Mineral pools offer a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chlorine-based pools. With reduced chlorine usage, there is a decrease in chemical discharge into the environment. Additionally, mineral pool systems often require less energy for maintenance, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint.

The minerals in the water help to prevent scaling and staining, extending the life of your pool equipment.
