Did you know you can convert your pool into a Magnesium pool?

Are you considering upgrading your pool into a magnesium pool? This transformation is becoming increasingly popular among pool owners, thanks to the numerous health, environmental, and maintenance benefits magnesium pools offer. Here's everything you need to know about the process, considerations, and potential costs of making the switch with Aqua Power Sunshine Coast.

What is a Magnesium Pool?

A magnesium pool uses a mineral-based water treatment system, primarily featuring magnesium chloride. Unlike traditional chlorine or saltwater pools, magnesium pools provide a luxurious swimming experience that is gentler on the skin, eyes, and hair. The natural properties of magnesium also help improve water clarity and reduce the overall use of harsh chemicals.

Key Considerations Before Converting

Before converting your existing pool, here are some factors to think about:

  1. Pool Compatibility:

    • Ensure your pool’s surface and equipment are compatible with a magnesium system. Older or damaged surfaces may need repairs before conversion.

  2. Current Pool System:

    • Transitioning from chlorine or saltwater might require replacing or modifying some components, such as the chlorinator or filtration system, to accommodate the magnesium system.

  3. Water Chemistry:

    • Magnesium pools rely on precise water chemistry to function effectively. Testing and balancing your pool’s water during the transition is crucial.

  4. Space for Equipment:

    • Check if there’s adequate space for a magnesium mineral chlorinator and other required equipment.

  5. Budget:

    • Factor in the costs for equipment, installation, and ongoing maintenance.

The Benefits of a Magnesium Pool

  1. Health Benefits:

    • Magnesium-infused water can soothe sensitive skin and alleviate conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

    • The mineral promotes relaxation and reduces stress, making every swim a therapeutic experience.

  2. Environmental Advantages:

    • Reduced use of harsh chemicals means fewer environmental impacts.

    • Magnesium pools often require less water for backwashing due to improved filtration efficiency.

  3. Enhanced Water Quality:

    • The water feels silky smooth and leaves no lingering chlorine smell.

    • Magnesium enhances water clarity, keeping your pool crystal clear.

  4. Gentler on Pool Equipment:

    • Magnesium is less corrosive than traditional chlorine, extending the life of your pool’s equipment.
