Magnesium Pools on Pool Spa Life: The Future of Swimming
An episode of Pool Spa Life takes viewers to the stunning Northern Rivers region of New South Wales - an area known for its mountains, bushland retreats, and spectacular beaches.
Hidden among these breathtaking landscapes are some remarkable homes and even more impressive swimming pools. But many homeowners in this region are moving away from traditional chlorine or saltwater pools.
Instead, they’re choosing magnesium pools and mineral pools for a more relaxing and luxurious swimming experience.
The episode highlights a spectacular mountain-top pool built by one of our Elite Builders, Dynamic Pools, that features Mineral Swim™ technology, creating a premium magnesium swimming pool with softer water and reduced chlorine levels.
A Pool Designed to Complement Nature
The pool showcased on Pool Spa Life sits high on a rocky mountainside overlooking the coastline.
The brief for the project was simple - create a pool that enhances the natural beauty of the surroundings rather than competing with it.
Because the entire site is made up of solid rock, the construction process required extensive excavation and structural engineering. The pool even extends outwards from the mountain with a dramatic spillover edge, creating a visually stunning effect.
While the design itself is impressive, the true highlight of the pool is the water.
Why This Pool Uses a Magnesium Swimming Pool System
Instead of relying on a traditional sanitisation system, this pool uses Mineral Swim™, which converts the pool into a magnesium pool.
The system combines:
Magnesium-rich minerals sourced from the Dead Sea
Ozone-to-oxygen purification technology
This dual-purification approach helps maintain crystal-clear water while reducing chlorine demand compared with traditional swimming pools.
This is one of the key reasons mineral pools are becoming increasingly popular across Australia.

The Unique Feel of a Magnesium Pool
One of the highlights of the Pool Spa Life episode is the discussion about how different the water feels in a magnesium swimming pool.
Magnesium minerals create water that feels soft, silky, and smooth on the skin.
Many swimmers notice the difference immediately when they enter a magnesium pool, especially compared with traditional chlorine pools.
The silky water is one of the reasons homeowners are upgrading to mineral pools using Mineral Swim™ technology.

The Wellness Benefits of Magnesium for Pools
Another topic discussed in the episode is the potential wellness benefits of magnesium for pools.
Magnesium is widely used in supplements and topical products because of its ability to support relaxation and muscle recovery.
When swimming in a magnesium swimming pool, magnesium minerals can be absorbed through the skin through a process known as transdermal absorption.
Many swimmers say they feel:
More relaxed after swimming
Relief from muscle tension
Improved recovery after exercise
This is one of the reasons magnesium pools are often compared to a spa-like experience.
Discover why eco-conscious homeowners love Mineral Swim™.
Lower Chlorine Levels with Mineral Swim™
Traditional swimming pools usually operate with chlorine levels around 2–3 parts per million.
With Mineral Swim™, ozone purification supports sanitisation, allowing chlorine levels to be reduced while still maintaining safe and hygienic pool water. Lower chlorine demand can mean:
Less chemical smell
Less irritation to eyes and skin
A more natural swimming environment
This makes magnesium pools and mineral pools particularly appealing for families and regular swimmers.
You Don’t Need a Luxury Pool to Enjoy a Magnesium Pool
Although the pool featured on Pool Spa Life is a spectacular mountain-top design, the episode also highlights an important point - you don’t need a luxury home to enjoy a magnesium pool.
One of the major advantages of Mineral Swim™ is that it can often be retrofitted into existing swimming pools with only minor plumbing adjustments.
That means many homeowners can convert their existing pool into a magnesium swimming pool without building a brand-new one.

Why Magnesium Pools Are Growing in Popularity
As shown in the Pool Spa Life episode, the way Australians think about swimming pools is changing.
Homeowners now want pools that provide:

Reduced chemical use
Magnesium pools and mineral pools offer all three.
With systems like Mineral Swim™, it’s easier than ever to transform an ordinary pool into a relaxing backyard wellness space.

Whether you’re building a new pool or upgrading an existing one, a magnesium pool could completely change the way you enjoy your backyard.
