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 in pool can added separately with boric acid.
