Product Details

Transform your pool or spa into an oasis of mineral spring-like water and save dramatically on your chlorine expenses. Mineral Pure uses safe and natural minerals to help purify your water, thus dramatically reducing the need for costly chlorine. Chlorine is strong bleach and is dangerous. Studies have linked it to cancer. The bottom line is - nobody likes chlorine. There are 9 models to handle any size swimming pool up to 600,000 Gal. The technology used by the Mineral Pure system has been around for thousands of years. It was NASA that harnessed what nature already knew and used a similar ionization system aboard the Apollo flights in the 1960s. NASA granted the manufacturer of Mineral Pure a license to commercialize their technology in 1989. The system consists of a micro-processor control box and a set of a scientifically developed electrodes comprised of safe and natural minerals. Mineral ions are released into the water, helping to disinfect the water. This will help provide long term, nontoxic purification while reducing chlorine use. Salt generators actually make chlorine and are subject to costly repairs and replacement. This system only requires the replacement of the electrode (approximately USD 150) and does not require salt. The electrodes will last 1-6 years depending on size of pool and length of season.
  • Reduces the need of chlorine in residential pools up to 95%
  • Swim in crystal clear, mineral spring-like water
  • No more red eyes, dry and brittle hair, itchy skin, bleached out swimsuits and the distinct chlorine odor on your body
  • Uses safe, natural minerals in an ionization process - never requires salt
  • NASA licensed technology since 1989

Q:Can I just buy the control box
by|Sep 25, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  We do not sell just the control box to replace very old units. You'll have the spare electrode and new ion test kit with it as well.

    Q:Do I remove (or keep empty) the chlorine tablet tube after the filter or keep it to maintain a low level and would it be before or after the ionizer?
    by|Jun 4, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  You can either keep it full and set at the lowest or shock on a regular basis. It should be installed after the ionizer if you will be using it to maintain a small residual.

      Q:Will shocking with chlorine or maintaining chlorine oxidize the copper electrode and cause staining? Seems I keep reading that yet the information suggests shocking may be necessary at times.
      by|Jun 4, 2023
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Shocking an ionized pool does not in itself cause staining, but how you shock is important. Adding granular directly to the pool can cause spots where the pH spikes on the pool's finish, but if you dilute before pouring it in is will not have the same issue. Modern pool finishes are much less susceptible to staining in general, but accurately tested pH is an important part of that and not using strips. Copper ions will remain in solution with proper pH balance. Feel free to call our technical department at 1-800-756-SWIM (7946) with any questions as well!

        Q:I have a salt system, would this work with the salt system? Would you install before or after the salt system if leaving it in?
        by|May 22, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  If leaving the salt chlorination in and on, it should be after the ionizer electrode. Our technical team is happy to answer any other questions you have at 800-756-7946.

          Works great but but electrodes last only a year
          Pros: 1. My 12000 gal pool is much more pleasant to swim in without toxic chlorine. 2. Very low maintenance. 3. Quality controller and enclosure. Cons: 1. I have to replace the $160 (2023) electrodes every 12 months. 2. I have to set the ionizer on 5 (max) year round here in Florida to keep the ions close to recommended 0.3ppm. R40 won't cut it for a 40000 gal pool. I keep my ph at 7.2. 3. Some bluish staining in my newly marcited pool. Not sure this is due to copper but likely.

            This is the icing on the cake when it comes to completing my pool. I have an all glass tile pool, with calcium chloride fortified grout which essentially turns the grout into glass as well. With this mineral system is truly like swimming in a glass water. The water is so crystal clear you can hardly tell if there's even water in the pool hands down best mineral system on the market for swimming pools.

            Must Have for Any Pool!!!
            This product and technology is absolutely brilliant. The product works flawlessly. Installation was a breeze with some simple pvc plumbing knowledge. I have a 20,000 gallon inground pool with a sand filter. I do shock the water every once in a while and I use Sodium Carbonate to keep the PH in check. No more tablets and constant chlorination (nice savings $$$). No chlorine smell at all, as the chlorine levels are in the safe drinking water range. .2 ppm!!!

              Best pool purchase EVER!!!!!
              Two years ago we saw chlorine prices skyrocket, $300 for 50 lb tub of granules🤬🤬🤬. I saw this for $500 and I thought if it works, ( I had my doubts ) we’ll save some 💰and my pool will be chemical free. We live in GA and the Summers here are hot and humid. Perfect for thunderstorms every day, algae was a constant battle for us. We hooked it up following the directions, kept track of the ion concentration and man, it’s like swimming in bottled water. Trust me, if you’re on the fence……do it.

                GET ONE! You won't regret it.
                I have a 22k gallon pool and I hate using chlorine. I installed this a week ago and immediately, my pool water looked crystal clear! I run my pump as little as possible and still, after only running it for 7 hrs, it looks perfect again!
