There are many explanations why many people choose Magnesium Pools also known as MagnaPool. It makes your pool water soft, silky and mineral rich and also reduces yearly pool maintenance. Unlike conventional chlorine pools, where you consume most of your time nipping chemicals, rinsing filter cartridges and running your pool cleaner, Magnesium Pools’ strong hydroxinator, minerals and glass media do all the hard work for you.

There are some things you need to do to make your Magnapool work at its best. Some are simple care routines, while others are system-specific tasks. In this blog, we will provide you with proper guidance and steps on how to care for your MagnaPool. So let’s start the blog and read till the end to get full information.

How magnesium sanitizes your pool

Magnesium sanitizes pool water by mixing natural minerals with a technical electrolysis system to make a more beneficial and softer swimming environment. Instead of depending on high levels of harsh chlorine, magnesium based systems use magnesium chloride which passes through a salt cell to deliver low levels of natural chlorine, which is sufficient to destroy bacteria and algae. Also, magnesium works as a natural flocculant which means it ties together tiny dirt particles into larger clumps and allows your filter to catch debris more perfectly. This process reduces the demand for chemicals by around fifty per cent and resulting in water that is gentle on the skin, eyes and hair while delivering a soft feel. The minerals help stabilize chemistry and the water remains clear for longer and is less irritating than conventional saltwater or chlorine systems.

Top Tips to Look After Your MagnaPool.

Inspect your water chemistry 

Maintaining a perfect water chemistry is an important part of pool care for all types of swimming pools, including Magnesium pools. Keep water chemistry between 7.4 and 7.6 and total alkalinity between 100 and 150 ppm. 

Observe Mineral Levels

Observe magnesium levels every 2 to 4 weeks and add minerals if required. This makes the water feel soft and is useful for skin and muscles. Minerals can get lost through splashing, backwashing or heavy rain. Most modern systems have low mineral energy.

Clean and Circulate 

Maintain your pool by keeping it clean and pushing to stop inactive water, algae and pests. Daily, skim drifting trash and brush the walls to break up hidden algae. Empty skimmer and pump baskets to keep a strong water flow. Run your pump for hours daily so all water passes through the filter to keep it safe.

Match Chlorine Decks

Having free chlorine between 1 and 3 ppm is crucial to destroy bacteria and algae and make sure your pool water is safe and clear. Testing and sustaining this degree stops dirty water and algae development. If you use a mineral sanitizer you can safely reduce chlorine to 0.5 ppm because the minerals help disinfect and make the water softer on the skin and eyes.

Monthly care

Clean minerals and salt cell

Every three months, inspect your salt cell to make sure there is no white and flaky calcium buildup. If it is unclean, turn off the pump, pull the cell and soak it in a combination of 5 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid. When bubbling stops, rinse entirely with a hose and reinstall it.  Utilise a plastic tool to remove the stubborn remaining.

Examine Saltiness

Manually test salt or mineral decks monthly using a digital reader. Salinity is reasonably calculated using a refractometer, conductivity meter or hydrometer to define the concentration of dissolved salts.

Backwash Filter

Backwash the filter when the pressure is high, commonly every 2  to 4 weeks or when necessary. You do not need to do it for a long period of time as glass media is loosely packed and uses the entire depth of filtration media making it flow faster.

Shocking Method

Shock the pool after serious use or storms with the help of a non chlorine oxidizer or liquid chlorine to have transparency. If it is your first time shocking your magnesium or mineral pool make sure to use a regular chlorine shock product.
