Frequently Asked Questions about Oxygen Systems

OXYGEN MINERALE Fusion Anodox technology utilises a combination of mixed transition metals known as mixed metal oxide (MMO) electrodes to create Purapool’s own unique soft cell membrane. This entails fusing our patented metal blend onto a Titanium plate. Our custom electronics, control software and power supplies are finely tuned to Mineral Salts. Oxygen O₂, Ozone O₃ and traces of Chlorine are produced in the process.

When making Oxygen O₂ and Ozone O₃ electronically with our soft cell membrane it is referred to as ACTIVE OXYGEN or the “TRIATOMIC PROCESS”. This very powerful sanitation process of combining Oxygen and small amounts of Ozone is just like the cycle of water in nature.

Your pool water as nature intended:
No chlorine smell or taste, No salt taste Just pure, natural, clean, water
Enviro-friendly ‘green’ technology:
Low energy consumption – around 50% power-saving over comparable saltwater chlorinator units;

Balancing your Purapool Oxygen Minerale system could never be any easier. Outlined below are the main perameters in which you need to continue to monitor to maintain the health of your pool and operation of the Oxygen Minerale and Oxygen Minerale PLUS.

• Free Chlorine: 1.0 – 2.0 ppm (for residential pools)
• pH: 7.2 – 7.8
• Total Alkalinity (TA): 90 – 130 ppm
• Cyanuric Acid / Stabilizer: N/A (Small doses 10-20ppm can be used if required)
• Calicium Hardness: 200 – 400 ppm
• Phosphates: 0
• Salt Residual: 1800 – 3800 ppm

The Purapool Oxygen Minerale will operate best when the salt range is between 1800 – 3800 ppm.

Simply add 2kg of PURASALTS for every 1,000 litres of water to raise minerale levels by 100ppm.

Please refer to the Oxygen Minerale Product Manual for further information.

Following the below steps will ensure you correcty add PURASALTS to your swimming pool.

1. Power on the pump to circulate the pool water.
2. Slowly pour in the salt around the outer perimeter of the pool for quick and even distribution.
3. Brush the pool bottom to distribute the salt evenly and allow water to circulate for 36 hours to dissolve completely. After a further 24 hours, confirm salt level reading.
4. Power on the OXYGEN MINERALE and set output percentage to desired Output level.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to add PURASALTS via the skimmer box or surge tank as this can cause damage to the filtration system and the OXYGEN MINERALE.

DO NOT have any automatic suction type pool cleaners operating until the PURASALTS have completely dissolved. Allow the PURASALTS to dissolve for 3 hours before initial powering of the OXYGEN MINERALE.

Please refer to the Oxygen Minerale Product Manual for further information.

We recommend using an algaecide especially during the summer months. The ratio is as follows. 150-300 mls per 4 weeks per 65-75,000 litres as a maintenance dose.

Incoming water supply varies in all parts of the world. In South East Asia a lot of the water is from ground wells and sometimes sourced from poor water quality locations. This also applies for rural areas and even in some town water instances worldwide.

The OXY BOOST button is a great way to boost your sanitation residuals if the Cl level drops below 1ppm. Simply press the OXY BOOST and your pool will boost for up to 18 hours, and revert back to your preset oxygen output.

Please refer to the Oxygen Minerale Product Manual for further information.

The rule of thumb for daily runtime of the OXYGEN MINERALE system (with balanced water and running at >70% production) is; 1 hour of operation for every 3°C of ambient temperature. (i.e. 30°C would equal 10 hours of run time).

IMPORTANT NOTE

Please note that for high humidity conditions, irregular flow rates, undersized pumps/ filters or variable speed pumps please add 2 hours to runtimes. (e.g Asia, Africa, South America)

Please refer to the Oxygen Minerale Product Manual for further information.

Yes, in fact we will have you know that the Oxygen Mineral does not require a chlorine additive. This means there is no need to add chlorine to your swimming pool or spa.

The Oxygen Minerale is extremely energy-efficient, meaning significant savings on power bills.

Our Systems deliver an enhanced bathing experience due to low mineral salt levels in the pool water.

Save on chemicals, salts, and electricity with the OXYGEN MINERALE!
