HTH Mineralsoft Granular+ Chlorine 2kg

HTH Mineralsoft Granular+ Chlorine 2kg is a multi-action calcium hypochlorite pool sanitiser enriched with silk-softening minerals. This 2kg variant is designed for precision dosing in smaller residential pools, effectively eradicating bacteria and organic contaminants without adding cyanuric acid, which ensures your water remains balanced and clear under the intense South African sun.

Ideal Use and Application

• • Daily Sanitisation: Engineered for frequent use to maintain a consistent free chlorine level between 1 ppm and 3 ppm for optimal hygiene.
• • Non-Stabilised Solution: This formula prevents the build-up of stabiliser (cyanuric acid), eliminating the risk of chlorine lock and the need for frequent water drainage.
• • Rapid Dissolution: The fine granular structure ensures the product dissolves quickly upon contact with water, reducing the chance of undissolved chemicals settling.
• • Skin & Eye Comfort: The addition of specialised minerals creates a "soft-water" feel, significantly reducing the dryness and irritation often associated with standard chlorine.
• • Versatile Use: Suitable for all pool surfaces, including marbelite, fibreglass, and vinyl-lined pools, when applied according to the manufacturer's directions.

Safety Precautions

• • Application Method: To protect pool linings, always add the granules to the weir while the pump is running or pre-dissolve in a bucket of water before broadcasting.
• • Chemical Hazards: Never mix Mineralsoft with other chemicals, especially floating dispensers, acids, or different brands of chlorine, as a fire or explosion may occur.
• • Storage Requirements: Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from sunlight and combustible materials.
• • Handling Advice: Use protective gloves and avoid breathing in dust; in case of accidental eye contact, flush with fresh water for at least 15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • How much should I add for a 20,000-litre pool? For daily maintenance, a dosage of approximately 100g is usually sufficient, though levels should always be verified with a test kit.
• • Is this product safe for salt chlorinators? Yes, it serves as an excellent supplementary sanitiser or "boost" if your salt system is struggling during a summer heatwave.
• • Will it affect my pH level? Calcium hypochlorite has a naturally high pH; it is important to monitor and adjust your acid levels weekly to stay within the 7.2–7.6 range.
• • When is the best time to apply the granules? Always apply in the early evening to ensure the chlorine can sanitise the water without being immediately degraded by UV rays.

Local Pro-Tip

• • In high-wind areas, use the HTH Mineralsoft 2kg in conjunction with a pool sock in your weir. The minerals in this formula help fine dust particles clump together, making them much easier for the sock to trap before they ever reach your sand filter.
