The Mineral Springs® system simplifies saltwater pool care by combining easy-to-apply minerals with a chlorine generator that continuously converts salt into effective sanitizer. Tailored BioGuard® products help protect equipment, balance pH, and prevent scale buildup — all while creating soft, gentle water. After setup, you only need to add one product weekly, making it perfect for anyone seeking low-maintenance, luxury water care.
Yes. BioGuard Mineral Springs is the ultimate system for saltwater pools as it is an all-in-one premium product that combines high purity salt with other chemicals, simplifying maintenance. The high-purity salt is ultra-pure, which prevents impurities found in some "pool salt" from causing problems in your pool. It also includes a chlorine stabilizer, a water softener, a water clarifier, and a pH decreaser to help offset the high pH created during the chlorine generating process.
Yes. Because the ECG (Electrolytic Chlorine Generator) generates unstabilized chlorine, it is necessary to add a chlorine stabilizer to the pool water in order to protect chlorine from sunlight degradation. The UV rays of the sun will break down chlorine molecules, causing them to dissipate from water. The process of chlorine generation will also raise the pH of the pool water, making it necessary to periodically add a pH decreaser.
Yes and no. There are some instances where the chlorine generator may not be able to produce enough chlorine to overcome the contaminant burden in the pool, so it is also a good idea to add a non-chlorine shock oxidizer to help reduce the possibility of developing a chlorine demand.
Yes. In order to remove the calcium based scale from the chlorine generator cell plates, it is recommended to chemically clean the cell.
