How to Make the Most Out of Your Mineral Swim™ Magnesium Pool This Spring

Spring is the perfect time to prepare your swimming pool for warmer weather and more time outdoors. With regular maintenance and a few simple adjustments, you can keep your magnesium pool clean, comfortable, and ready for the swimming season. 

Whether you already own a mineral pool or are considering upgrading your existing pool, these tips will help you make the most of it this spring. 

1. Check Your Pool Water Balance 

After winter, test your pool water to ensure the pH, sanitiser levels, total alkalinity and other recommended parameters are within the appropriate ranges. 

If you have a Mineral Swim™ system, follow the manufacturer's water testing and maintenance recommendations to help maintain water quality throughout spring and summer. 

Go to your nearest Elite Dealer for water testing and other services. 

2. Clean Your Pool and Check Your Equipment 

Warmer weather often means more swimming, making regular cleaning essential. Remove leaves and debris, brush pool walls and steps, vacuum the floor, and clean skimmer baskets and filters as recommended. 

Spring is also a good time to inspect your pump, filtration equipment and purification system for signs of wear or reduced performance. 

For added convenience, consider using a robotic pool cleaner to automate routine cleaning and spend less time on pool maintenance. 

3. Understand How Your Mineral Pool System Works 

A magnesium swimming pool offers a different approach to pool water treatment. Mineral Swim™ combines 100% Dead Sea minerals with ozone-to-oxygen purification technology and chlorination. 

The ozone purification technology helps oxidise organic contaminants and is designed to reduce chlorine demand. However, minerals and ozone do not replace the need for appropriate sanitisation, so maintaining recommended chlorine levels is important.

4. Create an Inviting Poolside Space 

Make your pool more enjoyable by refreshing the surrounding area before the busy swimming season begins. 

• Clean pool surrounds and outdoor furniture. 

• Check pool fencing, gates and latches. 

• Arrange comfortable seating and shaded areas. 

• Organise towels and swimming accessories. 

• Ensure children are actively supervised whenever they are in or around the pool. 

5. Adjust Your Maintenance Routine for Spring 

As temperatures rise and pool use increases, your maintenance routine may need to become more frequent. Test your water regularly, maintain proper circulation, clean filters, and remove debris before it accumulates.

After heavy pool use or significant rainfall, check whether your water chemistry needs attention. Avoid adding chemicals without testing the water first and always follow the product label and your equipment manufacturer's instructions. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

Does a magnesium pool still need chlorine?

How can I keep my mineral pool water clear? 

Test your water balance, clean the filter, remove debris and maintain proper circulation and sanitisation. If cloudy water persists, consult a pool professional.
