This information focuses on the Nature2 brand spa mineral purifying cartridge, but the basics are the same if you elect to use the Leisure Time Mineral Cartridge instead. One reason to use the Leisure Time product is that it is compatible with bromine sanitation where Nature2 is not.
The Natural Alternative to Bromine
 The Nature2 Purifier precisely controls water flows through a replaceable cartridge. Inside, a non-electrical reaction "activates" oxygen to kill bacteria, algae, and viruses. Next, Nature2 releases trace amounts of natural, algaestatic and bactericidal minerals into the pool to help prevent bacteria and algae growth.
You'll notice a remarkable difference. Visual clarity and sparkle, even at extremely low levels of residual oxidizer, indicate that the Nature² Purifier is working properly.
Nature2 is not a filter. A filter is designed to remove large particles and debris, while Nature² disinfects spa water by killing 99.96% of bacteria, algae and viruses, which are too small to be caught by a filter. So you need both a filter and Nature2.
- Lasts four months
- Makes spas easy to manage, halogen-free
- Improves performance of ozone-equipped spas
- Assures a healthy, safe, odor-free spa
- Significantly improves look & feel of water
- Simplifies water balance - it's unaffected by heat
TIP: Nature2 recommends the use of MPS (Renew) as its primary sanitizer/oxidizer accompaniment. They also mention that sodium dichlor (Spa 56 chlorinating granules) can be used in place of MPS. We have found that using sodium dichlor every third application is a nice mix.
Spa Recipe
Ingredients
• Nature2 Purifier

• Sodium Dichlor Leisure Time Spa 56 chlorinating granules
When: |
What to do: |
Purifier Start Up |
Drain and refill your spa. Balance water per dealer guidelines. Add 1 teaspoon of dichlor to spa per 250 gallons (approx. 1000 litres). (Note: 1 teaspoon = 1/4 ounce = 7 grams.) |
Every Day |
Run spa according to recommendation supplied to you by the manufacturer of your spa |
Before Each Use |
Add 1 tablespoon of potassium peroxymonosulfate (MPS) to spa per 250 gallons (approx. 1000 litres)
(Note: 1 tablespoon = 1 tablet = 3/4 ounce = 21 grams.) A convenient way to insure proper MPS level is to use a Nature2 Spa Test Strip. If the Nature2 Spa Test Strip indicates a low level of MPS, add 1 tablespoon of MPS to spa per 250 gallons and retest. |
Once A Week |
Add 3 tablespoons of potassium peroxymonosulfate to spa per 250 gallons (approx. 1000 litres). Check and adjust pH and total alkalinity. A convenient way to check pH and total, alkalinity levels is to use a Nature2 Spa Test Strip. |
Every 4 Months |
Drain and refill your spa.
Replace Nature2 purifier, repeat purifier start-up. |
As Needed |
If water looks hazy, shock treat with 1 teaspoon of dichlor per 250 gallons (approx. 1000 litres) |
Important
The Nature2 Spa Purifier is not to be used with products containing bromine, sodium bromide or biguanides. If these products are being used, be sure to drain and refill spa with fresh water.
Note:
• As an alternative to potassium monopersulfate, dichlor may be substituted:
1 teaspoon dichlor = 3 tablespoons potassium peroxymonosulfate.
• The use of an efficient ozone generator with Nature2 may reduce the need for supplemental chemical treatments.
* Potassium peroxymonosulfate may cause a lowering of the pH and total alkalinity of your spa water. Please monitor pH and total alkalinity at least once per week and adjust accordingly.
