Converting your pool to a MagnaPool

Do you own a saltwater or manually chlorine dosed pool and have been considering converting to a MagnaPool ®? It is possible to experience the difference with just a few small changes performed by an authorised MagnaPool agent.

Firstly, it is highly recommended that you carry out a full water analysis prior to converting your pool to ensure everything goes smoothly. Also it is recommended to use a media filter filled with glass for a MagnaPool to ensure optimum performance. However, if you choose to use a cartridge filter you just need to ensure it is an oversized model to help prevent excessive cleaning due to the exceptional flocculent properties of MagnaPool minerals. The MagnaPool system consists of the products listed below:

• The Hydroxinator & Reverse Polarity

Electrolytic Cell

• Glass Filtration Media

• MagnaPool Minerals

The benefits of a MagnaPool are optimised when the complete system is installed. The conversion from a manually dosed chlorine pool or saltwater pool to a MagnaPool is an easy process that can be summarised in five easy steps.

Step One: The Hydroxinator is installed in a suitable spot and connected to the electrolytic cell on the plumbing line. Any reputable pool care professional can do this for you and is relatively inexpensive.

Step Two: Ensure you have the preferred glass filter installed properly. If you already have a media filter (thermoplastic or fibreglass) with sand in it, you will need to change over to glass media. Removing the sand from a filter will require a pool care specialist to assist you. Once the filter is empty of sand, the glass media can be loaded. Coarse glass is used on the bottom of the filter and the rest is filled with fine glass. This combination of coarse and fine glass allows for the best filtration and backwashing capabilities. If you have a small cartridge filter in place it may be necessary to install an oversized model or you may find that you will have to constantly clean the filter elements.

Step Three: Obtain a salinity and/or TDS test to determine how many bags of minerals you will need to add to your pool. Your pool shop or pool professional can quickly and easily do this for you. The lower the salinity the better as it will give you the true MagnaPool feeling straight away. If your current salinity is higher, it will mean you can either remove some water via backwashing over a few days and replace the lost water with fresh water, or just gradually top up your pool with minerals as you need to. The latter method, however, may not give the full impact of the MagnaPool feeling, but will happen over time as you replace your salt with MagnaPool minerals. Based upon the salinity measurements from your water test, you’ll simply need to add in the appropriate amount of minerals and switch on your filtration equipment.

Step Four: Once you’ve added the right amount of MagnaPool minerals, let the system run for at least 24 hours non-stop to get proper circulation and dilution happening. You may notice some foaming appear during this start-up phase, this is just part of the process.

Step Five: Jump in and enjoy your new MagnaPool.
