Mineral-Based Magnesium High Premium Product
Enhance your bathing experience
Element mineral salt is a sodium-based, magnesium-enriched blend designed to make the bathing experience much more enjoyable for all skin types. It creates a silky smooth feeling in the water that is very pleasant to swim in. Plus the natural flocculent effect of magnesium chloride keeps your pool water crystal clear.
Element Activate mineral salt is a start-up blend used when converting a current saltwater pool to becoming an Element mineral salt pool. A heavily magnesium dosed blend which helps condition the water giving the pool water the softer feeling quickly.
Once Element Activate is dosed (using the recommendation from your pool care professional), when you need to 'top up' your salt level, simply just use the standard Element blend.
Easy conversion for all types of pools
Whether you are currently using traditional saltwater chlorination or you manual does liquid or granular chlorine, converting to a mineral salt system is easy. Plus there is no need to change your filtration type, Element is compatible with sand, glass or cartridge filters. Plus, Element can be used with any saltwater chlorinator.
Below are tables that will help guide you thru the setup process, whether converting from salt or fresh water
Installing Element on new and existing pools
Use the dosage rates as outlined in these tables when installing Element Mineral Salts.
NOTE: Element Activate is only required for pools with salinity above 3000ppm, all other pools can begin using Element Mineral salt blend immediately.
If Salinity is ABOVE 3000ppm
Use Element Activate to condition the water for use with Element. Additional Element mineral salt does not need to be added, use Element Activate only.

Is there anything special to test for when using Element minerals salts?
Yes, Element pools add a high magnesium content to the water, which will contribute to your hardness levels (commonly tested for as 'calcium hardness') when having a water test conducted. It is imperative that you mention to your pool shop that you are using Element mineral salts so they are aware of this change in water chemistry.
