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, borax, 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, boric acid, and CYA.[2]
Renewal
Renewal is a mixture of dry acid(sodium bisulfate), boric acid, and phosphonic acid (scale inhibitor).[3][4]
Alternatives
Pool salt or water softener salt can be used with the Mineral Springs SWG.
Stabilizer/CYA can be added as needed.
You should control pH using muriatic acid, borates you can add separately by purchasing boric acid directly and 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
