Do not use with bromine or bromide-based products, PHMB\/biguanides, copper-based algaecides or soda ash. Check existing treatments before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA qualified pool equipment professional must install the unit on the return plumbing after the filter and before the chlorinator cell or chemical dosing point, following the manufacturer's full instructions. Your pool must be clean and chemically balanced before commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew cartridges require the manufacturer's chlorine activation procedure. Continue regular filtration, testing and water balancing. Mineral Guard does not replace your primary sanitiser or pool filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I stop using chlorine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Mineral Guard needs chlorine, whether added directly or produced by a saltwater chlorinator. The manufacturer cites an Australian minimum residual of 1 ppm; this is not a universal target for every NZ pool. Follow the product instructions and advice appropriate to your pool conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often does the cartridge need replacing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe replacement guide specifies six months or one season, whichever is shorter. The housing stays in place when the cartridge is changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same as adding magnesium pool minerals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a plumbed-in silver and copper mineral treatment, not a bag of magnesium minerals or pool salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty applies?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstralPool two-year warranty on the main vessel and six months on replacement cartridges, subject to its warranty terms.
