Rule Your Pool — Chemistry
Rule Your Pool

Rule Your Pool is a podcast by Orenda Technologies. This show was created for pool owners, operators, and service pros who want the best water quality possible. If you want to know what’s really going on with your swimming pool chemistry, this might be the podcast for you. Each week, we’ll cover a new topic related to swimming pools, water chemistry, or indoor air quality. With our help, you’ll be able to rule your pool without over-treating it with chemicals and wasting money.

Self-Serving Pseudo-Science (w/ Terry Arko) Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

00:00 - Introduction

03:13 - Myth 1: ANSI-11 Standards NEVER allow water chemistry outside the ranges

05:12 - Myth 2: It's important to give water what it wants to "make water happy"

10:01 - Myth 3: The pH is constantly increasing outside of the acceptable range stated in Standard 11, and there are no options

14:40 - Myth 4: Water balance indexes indicate whether water is scaling or corrosive to surfaces and metals

20:12 - Myth 5: In a pool using chlorine and cyanuric acid, keeping the pH in the acceptable range is not important. Chlorine is controlled by the CYA.

29:03 - Myth 6: To control algae, it is important to maintain a certain ratio of CYA to free chlorine

33:54 - Myth 7: Chlorine lock

36:15 - Myth 8: Chlorine demand is caused by high phosphates and nitrates

37:45 - Myth 9: Using bleach in a pool does not raise pH

48:00 - Wrap up
