Mineral Purification for Spas and Hot Tubs

It's perhaps the biggest thing since bromine - silver and copper minerals used to purify spa and hot tub water. It's been around for over 20 years, so it's not new in the world of spas and hot tubs, and copper and silver ions have been purifying water for eons, so it's not new to the world.

But maybe it's new to you - if you haven't tried mineral purification before, here's why you may want to start.

• Use less bromine - up to 50% less
• Less work required of your spa filter
• Improved water sparkle and clarity

Spa and Hot Tub Mineral Sanitizers

There are several different manufacturers of spa mineral sanitizers, which all employ an erosive bits of silver and copper ions, packed in activated charcoal.

As the water moves through the 4-month mineral cartridge, ions are released, which attack algae and bacteria. The result is that more than half of your sanitation needs are taken care of by natural minerals, leaving less for your bromine and spa filter to deal with. And unlike bromine and chlorine, metals like copper and silver don't just kill once and then become useless, they continue to sanitize, attracting and killing contaminants, until the particle becomes large enough to be filtered out.

Nature2 Spa Stick

Nature2 Spa Stick - Drop the 4-month stick inside the center of your spa filter cartridge, and it goes to work immediately, with enough power to run your spa without bromine, when shocking weekly with MPS.

Spa Frog Floating System

Spa Frog Floating System - This is a combination bromine floater and mineral cartridge. Both attach easily to the floating pod. The mineral cartridge lasts four months, and the bromine cartridge will last for up to 4 weeks.

Leisure Time Spa Stick

Leisure Time Spa Stick - Eventually the patent expired, and along came some pretty good copy cats of  Mineral spa water treatment. The Leisure Time is almost a copy of the very similar looking Filter Frog.

Sunpurity Mineral Purifier

Sunpurity Mineral Purifier - Made by Nature2 to fit Sundance spas, the mineral purifier pack locks in place inside of the bromine chamber.

Each of these requires replacement every 4 months, and they average about $20 each . So, a year's supply is about $60 - a small amount to pay for such a huge improvement in water quality. And, if you reduce your bromine or chlorine level to 1-2 ppm, you can cut the amount you use in half, which could possibly pay for the cost of the mineral sticks.
