How to Convert a Chlorine Pool into a Mineral Natural Pool

Chlorine has kept pool water clear and blue for decades, but at the cost of harsh odours, itchy skin and endless chemical dosing. A mineral natural pool delivers the same crystal clarity without the downsides—using bio‑filtration and beneficial bacteria instead of bleach. Converting the pool you already own is easier (and faster) than most owners realise. Below is a practical, high‑end roadmap based on Origin Aqua’s Mineral + Biome® technology.

How to Convert a Chlorine Pool into a Mineral Natural Pool

Chlorine has kept pools blue for decades, but at the cost of harsh odours, itchy skin and endless chemical dosing. A mineral natural pool delivers the same crystal clarity without the downsides—using bio‑filtration and beneficial bacteria instead of bleach. Converting the pool you already own is easier (and faster) than most owners realise. Below is a practical, high‑end roadmap based on Origin Aqua’s Mineral + Biome® technology.

1  Why Switch to a Mineral Natural Pool?

1.1  Health & wellbeing benefits

• No chemical smell or red eyes—water is balanced by minerals, not disinfectants.
• Softer on skin and hair—natural minerals leave a silky feel similar to spa water.
• Allergy‑friendly—families with asthma or eczema report dramatic relief compared with chlorinated pools.

1.2  Aesthetic & lifestyle upgrade

• Glass‑like water clarity (down to 5 microns) rivals luxury spa lagoons.
• Underwater LED lighting looks richer without suspended chloramine haze.
• Poolside materials last longer—no chlorine vapour to corrode metals or bleach timber decking.

1.3  Environmental edge

• Up to 70 % water‑saving versus traditional back‑washing.
• Lower energy draw thanks to variable‑speed pumps and gravity‑fed plantbeds.
• A positive talking point for eco‑conscious guests and short‑term‑rental listings.

2  Can My Existing Pool Be Converted?

Good news: 90 % of in‑ground concrete or liner pools—and many one‑piece shells—can be converted without altering the shell itself.  Pump room will need to be connected to internet and large enough to take the plug and play system.

Ideal starting conditions:

If your pool has significant structural leaks or an outdated single‑speed pump, tackle those issues first; the mineral system can be added immediately after.
