We're here to tell you about some of the most common questions about mineral sanitation systems. This blog post will help you decide if a system that uses minerals is right for you.
What is a Mineral Sanitizer?
A mineral sanitizer is a modern water sanitation product that effectively kills bacteria and algae in swimming pools and spas. There are various types of mineral sanitizers that can be found here.
How Do Mineral Sanitizers Work?
Most mineral sanitizers work by combining copper and silver ions. In fact, this concept is nothing new.
Early evidence has shown that mineral sanitizers were used by ancient Egyptians and Romans. They have antimicrobial properties that can be commonly found in pool water.
Can Minerals Be Used as a Standalone Sanitation System?
Although they can still effectively clean pool and spa water, mineral systems are no longer as effective as chlorine or bromine. Instead, they use powerful long-acting salts to reduce the amount of chlorine in the water.
In addition, mineral sanitizers can help decrease the amount of chlorine in your pool by up to 50%. They can also be paired with other solutions that can effectively remove chlorine.
What Are the Benefits of Mineral Sanitizers?
Aside from reducing the amount of chlorine and bromine that you need, mineral systems can also help keep the salt cells in your pool or spa fresh and clean. They can also reduce the wear and tear on their cells.
Aside from reducing the amount of chlorine in the water, mineral systems can also help keep the cell's wear and tear at bay. They can also help keep the pH balanced and provide a softer feel.
Even with these advantages, many owners of mineral systems still switch to them due to their ease of use. They're also cheaper to use. Some systems come with a pre-measured cartridge that's designed to work seamlessly with chlorine or bromine.
Most pool and spa mineral cartridges last for about 4 months. However, depending on the brand and size of the cartridge, they may last for up to 4 weeks.
How Do I Install Minerals in My Pool or Spa?
The answer depends on the type of system you buy. In-line systems are typically easiest to install, as they require less effort to incorporate a sanitizer into their pool.
With a floating sanitizer, you can set it up in the pool or spa water and enjoy it! Or, you can just drop it into the filter. Some hot tubs also have mineral systems that come with them.
