The XLS Minerals, developed by Pool Controls, have been meticulously crafted to achieve optimal water balance levels and exceptional water quality. Here are a few of the key active ingredients that make up the XLS Minerals:
- Magnesium Chloride (Mg) – XLS Minerals contain the highest percentage of magnesium compared to other brands. Magnesium is renowned for its ability to soothe sore muscles, alleviate aches, and promote smoother skin. When utilised in conjunction with the XLS Mineral System, magnesium chloride passes through the electrolytic cell and converts into magnesium hydroxide. This prevents the accumulation of calcium on pool equipment and surfaces. Additionally, magnesium hydroxide acts as a flocculant, aiding in the filtration of dirt and dust particles, resulting in a consistently crystal-clear pool.
- Potassium Chloride (K) – Potassium chloride is essential for the proper functioning of various organs in the body and is known to alleviate symptoms of muscle cramping.
- Sodium Chloride (Na) – The XLS System has been specifically designed to use minimal amounts of sodium chloride (salt). The concentration is barely noticeable to swimmers and will not cause corrosion or damage to equipment, as excessive salt doses might. The quantity of salt used is so minimal that it has no adverse effects on the environment.
- Borates (B) – Boracic acid, commonly known as borates, enhances the water’s sensory experience. It imparts a soft and luxurious feel, providing bathers with the ultimate swimming experience. When combined with the XLS Mineral System, borates serve as a pH buffer and employ an algorithmic pH dosing system, simplifying the maintenance of optimal pH levels in the pool.

A mineral pool, also known as a mineral water pool or a mineralized pool, is a type of swimming pool that utilizes minerals, typically derived from natural sources, to enhance the water quality. These minerals can provide various benefits to swimmers and help maintain a healthier and more enjoyable swimming environment.
Unlike traditional chlorine pools that rely heavily on chemical disinfectants, mineral pools use a combination of minerals, such as magnesium, copper, and silver, to sanitize the water. This alternative approach reduces the dependency on chlorine, resulting in water that is gentler on the skin, eyes, and hair. Mineral pools typically have lower chlorine levels and can offer a more natural swimming experience.
Mineral pools offer several advantages. Firstly, the minerals used in the pool water can have therapeutic benefits, such as promoting relaxation and soothing the skin. They can also help alleviate common skin issues like dryness and irritation. Additionally, mineral pools often have reduced chlorine odor and can minimize the risk of allergic reactions or respiratory discomfort caused by excessive chlorine exposure. Furthermore, the minerals can help inhibit the growth of algae and bacteria, leading to cleaner and clearer water.
While the initial cost of setting up a mineral pool may be slightly higher compared to a traditional chlorine pool, the long-term maintenance costs can be comparable or even lower. Mineral pools generally require less frequent chemical adjustments and have reduced chlorine demand. This means you may spend less on chemicals and experience fewer fluctuations in pH levels. However, it’s important to note that regular maintenance tasks such as filtration system upkeep, water testing, and general pool care are still necessary for any type of pool.
Yes, it is often possible to convert an existing pool into a mineral pool. The process typically involves adding a mineral system or a mineral generator to your existing filtration system. However, it’s recommended to consult with a pool professional or contractor who can assess your pool’s suitability for conversion and guide you through the process.
While mineral pools can significantly reduce the reliance on chlorine, they usually still require a minimal amount of chlorine to maintain proper sanitization. The minerals work in conjunction with a small amount of chlorine to effectively sanitize the water. The exact chlorine levels may vary depending on factors such as pool size, usage, and local regulations.
It is generally not recommended to use mineral pool water for irrigation or watering plants. The minerals present in the pool water, particularly copper and silver, may be harmful to plants in high concentrations. It’s advisable to use fresh, untreated water for watering plants to avoid any potential negative effects.
Remember, it’s always recommended to consult with a pool professional or supplier for specific information and guidance regarding mineral pools, as different systems and brands may have their own unique considerations.
