How to Turn Your Standard Pool into a Mineral Oasis (In Just 1 Afternoon)

Ever get out of the pool feeling sticky, dry, or smelling like harsh chemicals? You aren’t alone.

Most Aussie pools run on standard salt. While it keeps the water sanitary, it can be harsh on your skin, tough on your swimwear, and leave your hair feeling like straw.

The alternative? Magnesium Mineral Pools.

They feel like silk, soothe muscle aches, and leave your skin moisturized. But most pool owners think upgrading requires ripping out their pump and spending $2,000 on a new "Mineral Chlorinator."

That is a myth.

You can convert your existing salt or chlorine pool to a mineral oasis this weekend, without changing a single piece of equipment. Here is the 3-step professional method.

Step 1: The Foundation (MagnaPool Minerals)

The first step is changing the "food" your pool runs on. Instead of dumping in cheap bags of table salt from the hardware store, switch to MagnaPool Minerals.

This is a patented blend of Magnesium and Potassium. It still produces chlorine to sanitise the water, but it creates a completely different swimming experience—softer, gentler, and therapeutic.

  • Pro Tip: You typically need a mix of roughly 70% salt and 30% minerals to keep your chlorinator happy. Check your manual or ask us.

Step 2: The "Instant Upgrade" (Therapy 3)

This is the secret weapon that professional pool techs use. Lo-Chlor Therapy 3 is a liquid mineral blend that transforms water instantly.

While the bags of minerals take time to dissolve, pouring in a dose of Therapy 3 (5L Value Size) does three things immediately:

  1. Softens the water for that "silky" feeling.
  2. Clarifies the water (it has a built-in clarifier).
  3. Locks in the minerals to soothe your skin.

It turns a standard pool into a wellness experience in about 15 minutes.

Step 3: The Maintenance (Enzymes)

Finally, to keep that water sparkling like diamonds, you need to remove the organic oils (sunscreen and sweat) that make water look dull.

We recommend a weekly dose of Bio-Klenz. It digests the oils so your minerals can shine.

You don't need a scientist. You just need the right ingredients.
