<p>A water treatment method for improving the water quality of a body of water is disclosed. A water treatment mineral is also disclosed, The water treatment mineral includes a third period electrolyte component comprising magnesium chloride and sodium chloride. The magnesium chloride is more than about 15% by weight of the third period electrolyte. The water treatment mineral may be used with existing water treatment equipment by adjusting the concentration to a level suited to the effective production of hypochlorite anions at a concentration sufficient to sanitize the water, The method includes adding the water treatment mineral to the body of water at a concentration of about 1200 ppm to about 9600 ppm. The water is passed through an electrolytic cell and an electrical potential is applied, sufficient to produce a predetermined concentration of hypochlorite anions in the mineralized water passing through the electrolytic cell to produce chlorinated water, The chlorinated water is then returned to the body of mineralized water.</p> |
