App Feedback and RIP Startup Barrel Platform Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

00:00 - Intro

01:53 - Our annual meeting made light of some costly mistakes

02:13 - The two mistakes to explain are the premature Orenda 3.0 release and the Startup Barrel Platform

03:24 - Without customer feedback, we could not have found the bugs as quickly as we have. Your feedback is incredibly valuable!

07:13 - We are discontinuing the Startup Barrel Platform

07:27 - Giving credit where credit is due: Lupe, Dave, Dave, Molinari Pools, and PurAqua

10:16 - The platform became cost prohibitive, and even if we wanted to make more, we cannot reliably get the parts

12:27 - Too much of the platform was out of our control, and it is officially discontinued

12:57 - Summary. Thanks for listening, and thanks for your patience with Orenda and our mistakes.

Different Types of Phosphates Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

00:00 - Intro

01:42 - Orthophosphates (PO4) are the building block of phosphate compounds

03:58 - Inorganic phosphate types

05:07 - If PR-10,000 clouds, you are watching it remove phosphates from water

05:48 - Tests can be decieving, and inaccurate. And they only measure orthophosphates.

07:52 - When PR-10,000 reduces less than expected, it removed phosphates that did not show up on your test kit

08:54 - Try to avoid chemical conflicts

10:21 - Phosphates in drinking water

11:59 - Jarred gets to do the outro. Thanks for listening!

CYA, Water Temperature, and Chlorine Loss Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

00:00 - Intro

01:03 - There's a difference between using chlorine and losing chlorine

02:11 - Chlorinate and cross your fingers

03:59 - Does warmer weather really mean you need more CYA to protect chlorine from more intense sunlight?

08:49 - CYA's other impacts

09:43 - High pH actually does increase chlorine loss, because OCl- dissociates from CYA in higher pH water

12:07 - Jarred did not read all five bullet points in our extensive show notes

13:53 - Low-energy Jarred summarizes for the fans

14:32 - Summary - Thanks for listening! And check out our brand new Help Center: ask.orendatech.com

Why Orenda's Advice sometimes Conflicts with Industry Standards, Textbooks and Pool Stores Jun 15, 2022

Show notes

00:00 - Intro

01:51 - Not all of our advice conflicts with industry standards and texbooks. We just don't believe in the dogma of range chemistry.

02:56 - What is range chemistry?

04:31 - Water never read the textbook. Just like Jarred.

07:07 - Why are people more concerned with scale than etching?

08:39 - Aggressive water looks good. Just like Jarred.

16:08 - Being blind to the LSI is expensive, and it means you're going to fight your water to conform to ranges it doesn't want to conform to.

19:09 - Chasing pH is not profitable, nor is it beneficial for the pool.

21:07 - Be proactive and Rule Your Pool. Regardless of what the pool store's software says, because it's based on range chemistry. You can be focused on the LSI, which reigns supreme.

23:22 - Jarred's summary: we teach this way because it helps you treat water the way water wants to be treated.

23:50 - Eric's summary: Prescription without diagnosis is called malpractice. (Jarred's summary was better).
