Home | C-Pool FAQ 1. Is C-Pool Mineral Treatment safe? Yes! C-Pool Mineral Treatment is registered by the Canadian Government as a mineral algaecide for pools and spas. When dissolved in water, the product reduces the amount of chemicals needed, therefore, making the water in your pool or spa friendlier to the environment and to your body. 2. Will C-Pool Mineral Treatment be harmful to my overall pool system? No! C-Pool Mineral treatment is neither toxic nor harmful in any way! You can reduce the amount of chlorine or bromine. The life of your entire pool system will definitely be enhanced. 3. Will the reduction of chemicals be beneficial to my family? Yes! Chlorine or bromine at high levels in the water is harmful to both the environment and to your body. The mineral treatment, when used as directed, allows you to reduce chemicals and control algae, therefore, making it beneficial and safer for you and your family. 4.
