Converting a Magnesium pool to freshwater

Magnesium pools have been having their day in the sun in recent years. But what exactly is a magnesium pool? What are the benefits and is there a better alternative? Very smart marketing promotes the health benefits of magnesium pools, although the real answer might be surprising.

What is a Magnesium pool?

A magnesium pool or mineral pool uses magnesium chloride combined with chlorine to kill bacteria and other elements in the pool water as well as preventing algae growth. Bathing in magnesium-rich water (such as having an Epsom bath) is known for having some health benefits. However, the levels are still nothing like what you would put in bathwater and you would need to be in the pool almost 24 hours a day.

A magnesium pool when combined with Ozone requires less chlorine than a traditional chlorine pool or saltwater pool. Converting to a magnesium pool or building a magnesium pool is generally more costly than other types of pools and requires regular maintenance. The presence of chlorine and salt can be harmful to people who swim in the pool, especially those with skin conditions or asthma.

Magnesium pools and mineral pools

Magnesium pools are also known as mineral pools, as they use magnesium chloride (a mineral) to keep your pool sanitised. There are also other types of mineral pool systems that use different minerals or combinations to deliver a swimming experience that is supposed to have great health benefits. However, they use these minerals to generate chlorine, leaving you with a pool that has both chlorine and minerals in it.

At Naked Pools, we’ve created a mineral pool system that uses far less chlorine than a magnesium pool, or even a salt water pool. Using our innovative pool sanitisation system, you can sanitise and disinfect your pool, making it safer and healthier to swim in, all while making your pool easier and cheaper to maintain and reducing the impact on the environment.

A better way to swim

Over the years pools have evolved from high-chlorine pools to chlorinated salt pools, to mineral and chlorine pools, then finally to freshwater swimming pools. As swimming pool innovators with a combined experience of over 40 years, we believe that freshwater pools sanitised using copper and silver is the future of swimming in Australia. While a magnesium pool uses chemicals to produce chlorine to sanitise pool water, the NKD-R Freshwater System uses natural minerals (like the ones that are found in a natural spring). This means you achieve close to the same benefits with far fewer negatives, and water that is effectively free of harmful chemicals.
