What do pool minerals do?

Magnesium Chloride

The health benefits of magnesium are well-documented and are renowned for soothing the skin and relieving muscle tension. It also converts to to chlorine effectively so is the most common and ideal choice for a salt replacement.

Sodium Chloride

Sodium chloride (salt) is the conventional way to produce chlorine by electrolysis as in your typical salt chlorinator.

Potassium Chloride

Potassium Chloride is an additive that is predominantly used to increase the ability for your chlorinator to produce enough chlorine (if there isn’t enough salt or Magnesium present), this can help in some cases, however, you’ll essentially be paying for a more expensive salt replacement.

So which minerals are right for you?

Of course you can use minerals to generate your chlorine using any brand of minerals you like, however, mineral systems are designed to work with their combination of minerals.
