Converting Your Pool to a MagnaPool

Are you considering converting your saltwater or chlorine pool to a MagnaPool®? The process is straightforward, and you can experience the benefits of a magnesium pool with just a few items. This guide will walk you through the steps to convert your pool to a MagnaPool®.

Why Choose a MagnaPool®?

MagnaPool® systems offer numerous benefits, including softer water, reduced chlorine levels, and enhanced mineral content that’s gentle on the skin and eyes. Converting your pool to a magnesium-based system can transform your swimming experience.

Components of the MagnaPool® System

These components make up the MagnaPool® system. Each element offers its own benefits. But, when all three are combined, the result is truly amazing.

  • The Hydroxinator & Reverse Polarity Electrolytic Cell
  • Glass Filtration Media
  • MagnaPool® Minerals

Step-by-Step Conversion Process

  • Fit the Hydroxinator:

Install the Hydroxinator in a suitable spot and connect the electrolytic cell to the plumbing line. A reputable pool care professional can do this for you at a reasonable cost.

  • Use a Media Filter:

We recommend a media filter filled with glass for the best results. While a cartridge filter can be used, it needs to be significantly oversized to prevent excessive cleaning due to the flocculent properties of MagnaPool minerals. Consult your pool care professional about the best filter options for your pool.

  • Switch to Glass Media

Change the sand in your media filter to glass media. This process requires a specialist, but your pool professional can assist you. Start with coarse glass at the bottom and fill the rest with fine glass for optimal filtration and backwashing capabilities.</p

  • Conduct a Water Analysis:

Before adding MagnaPool® minerals, get a salinity or TDS test to determine the appropriate amount of minerals needed. Your local pool shop or professional can perform this test quickly and easily.

  • Add MagnaPool® Minerals:

Based on the test results, add the correct amount of MagnaPool® minerals to your pool and switch on the filtration equipment. Allow the system to run for at least 24 hours non-stop to ensure proper circulation and dilution. Some foaming may occur during this start-up phase, which is normal.

Enjoy Your New MagnaPool®

Once the conversion is complete, you’ll immediately notice the improved water quality. Enjoy the softer, more natural feel of your new magnesium pool.

Additional Tips

  • Magnesium Pool Filter: Ensure your filter is compatible with MagnaPool® minerals for optimal performance.
  • Converting Salt Water Pool to Magnesium: Follow the steps outlined above for a seamless transition from saltwater to magnesium.
  • Convert Chlorine Pool to Mineral: Switching from chlorine to a mineral-based system like MagnaPool® is easy and offers significant health benefits.
  • Consult Professionals: Always speak to your local pool care professional for advice and assistance throughout the conversion process.
