What is Mineral Springs?
Mineral Springs is a branded packaging of chemicals and a Salt Water Chlorine Generator from Bioguard.
Mineral Springs SWG
Mineral Springs SWG is an Hayward Aquarite SWG (Goldline) re-branded product.
Mineral Springs Chemicals
The Mineral Springs products contain a mixture of salt, acids, and CYA. In addition to being quite expensive, they don't allow you to adjust each of those levels separately.[1]
Beginnings
Beginnings is a mixture of pool salt, borax, and CYA.[2]
Renewal
Renewal is a mixture of dry acid(sodium bisulfate), boric acid, and phosphonic acid (scale inhibitor).[3][4]
What Are Alternatives to Mineral Springs Chemicals?
Pool salt or water softener salt can be used with the Mineral Springs SWG.
Stabilizer/CYA can be added as needed.
pH is best controlled using muriatic acid.
Borates can added separately with boric acid.
Scale inhibitors are not needed unless you have a high calcium hardness problem or metals in the water.
Tips
- There are no minerals such as copper in the Mineral Springs chemicals
