Description
00:00 - Intro00:59 - This will be complex chemistry, but very simplified.02:07 - What is combined chlorine? What does chlorine "combine with"?05:32 - Combined chlorine is an indicator of your chlorine falling behind, and the byproducts are the cause of bather discomfort, irritation and sickness.06:00 - The pool industry uses the term "chloramines" generally to describe all of these combined chlorine byproducts.12:06 - Chloramines, far more than pH, are behind bather discomfort, eye and throat irritation, etc.16:12 - Even if you have a bromine pool, similar chemistry occurs (bromamines).21:27 - There is no chemical way to get rid of nitrogen byproducts without chlorine combining there. There isn't a natural enzyme or other chemical that can break down nitrogen compounds.28:00 - Nitrogen in your water means your chlorine will be tied up dealing with it.28:21 - Thank you for listening! ------------------------------------Connect with Orenda TechnologiesWebsite: https://www.orendatech.comBlog: https://blog.orendatech.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/OrendaTechnologiesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/orendatech/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/orendatechnologies/

Understanding pH: If you get the folks at Orenda talking about pH, they could go for hours. Fortunately, this 40ish-minute-episode boils pH and how it affects pool chemistry down into three main points: The role that carbon dioxide plays in controlling the pH of water, the factors that both lower and raise pH, and how to manage pH in a proactive way so that you're not chasing it. Many pool operators struggle with how to manage pH. Eric and Jarred are here to make it easy. by Rule Your Pool
