The Blueray XL Black Mineral Purifier & Catalyst is the starter unit in Blueray XL's color-coded mineral-treatment system for larger swimming pools. The package includes a treated ionizer cylinder plus the mineral formulation used to begin the treatment cycle. Blueray XL describes the system as a copper, silver, and zinc mineral-based water modifier designed to support normal pool care while helping improve chemical efficiency and water clarity.
The manufacturer markets XL Black for pools in the 11,000–30,000 gallon range, but its official dosage chart adds an important sizing distinction. XL Black is specified at startup for 11,000–20,000 gallon high-use, high-dirt, or high-foliage pools and for 20,000–30,000 gallon pools. Standard pools from 7,500–20,000 gallons are shown with XL Blue instead. Use the current Blueray XL dosage chart when choosing between sizes.
What Is Included
Blueray XL starter units include the ionizer cylinder and the mineral treatment. The minerals dissolve into the circulating pool water, while the ionizer cylinder remains in direct water flow so the mineral system can continue operating. Blueray states that the mineral treatment is designed around a six-month interval, while the ionizer cylinder is used through the annual treatment cycle.
The manufacturer identifies the system as a 7-in-1 Mineral Purifier & Catalyst with functions that include flocculation, oxidation catalysis, phosphate neutralization, pH stabilization, lignin neutralization, water polishing, and Chemical Oxygen Demand reduction. These are manufacturer-described treatment functions; the product does not eliminate the need for normal pool chemistry or sanitizer maintenance.
Installation & Treatment Cycle
Before installation, clean the pool filter. Place the ionizer cylinder in the pump basket or skimmer basket, then add the mineral treatment to the pump or skimmer basket and run the filtration system so the minerals dissolve into the pool. Blueray states that the minerals typically dissolve over approximately 1–3 hours. Do not add other chemicals to the skimmer while the minerals are dissolving.
The ionizer cylinder should remain in direct pool-water flow for normal system performance. At the six-month mark, Blueray uses color-coded booster products to replenish minerals. For XL Black applications, the official dosage chart uses XL Grey booster treatment at the six-month interval. At 12 months, the manufacturer directs users to restart the treatment cycle according to the current dosage chart.
Normal Pool Chemistry Is Still Required
Blueray XL is intended to work alongside normal pool chemistry, not replace it. Current manufacturer guidance lists available chlorine at 1.0–3.0 ppm, pH at 7.2–7.8, alkalinity at 80–120 ppm, calcium hardness at 100–400 ppm, conditioner at 30–90 ppm, and TDS below 1,500 ppm for proper mineral activation. Always follow the current package directions and adjust chemistry for the specific pool and sanitizer system.
Blueray XL is listed as saltwater compatible, suitable for any pool finish, pre-measured by pool size, and formulated with stain inhibitors. The manufacturer also warns not to use the product with bromine, bromide chemicals, or biguanides.

Buy with Confidence
Benchmark Pool Supply helps customers select Blueray XL treatments by pool volume, bather load, debris level, and treatment interval. For XL Black, confirm the pool falls within the manufacturer's Black dosage range and that you need the starter unit containing both the ionizer cylinder and mineral treatment rather than a six-month booster only.
