Zodiac Nature2 Mineral Cartridge

The cartridge releases controlled amounts of silver and copper ions into your pool water. These minerals act as natural sanitizers that destroy bacteria and algae, allowing you to significantly reduce the amount of chlorine or other harsh chemicals needed to keep your pool clean.

No, it does not replace chlorine completely. It is designed to work as a supplemental system that reduces your chlorine demand by up to 50%, making the water gentler on skin and eyes while still requiring a low level of chlorine to maintain proper sanitation.

For most residential pools, the cartridge is designed to last for one full swimming season, typically around six months. You should replace it at the start of each season to ensure the mineral levels remain effective.

The Nature2 cartridge is designed to install easily into your existing plumbing, typically fitting into the Nature2 vessel or specific inline feeders. It is compatible with most standard inground pool filtration setups, but you should verify your specific plumbing configuration before installation.

This specific model is primarily designed for traditional chlorine-based inground pools. If you have a saltwater chlorine generator, you should check the manufacturer's compatibility guidelines, as some mineral systems are not designed to work in conjunction with salt systems.

The W28135 model is rated for pools up to 35,000 gallons. If your pool exceeds this capacity, the mineral concentration will be insufficient to effectively sanitize the water, and you would likely need to install a system rated for a higher volume.
