Description

00:00 - Intro03:15 - Calcium flakes and other deposits in salt pools are very common. You're not alone if your pool has them.05:00 - Our first question when someone calls about calcium flakes: "what is your alkalinity?"10:33 - How salt cells work, from the inside out12:16 - What does the salt cell do throughout the day? What to the percentages of output actually mean?14:12 - Reversing polarity (changing direction of electricity) in between on/off cycles of salt cells. This fractures calcium carbonate into flakes, which blow into your pool.14:53 - Most of the time, flakes are in your spa, or near your closest return to the equipment.15:41 - Flakes tumble around in the pool and smooth out and look more like sno-kone ice.21:31 - Solutions to this problem: balance your LSI, use SC-1000, and operate with lower alkalinity.27:37 - Allow more circulation time. Most scale is formed right after circulation stops (warm, stagnant water with high pH).30:08 - Summary. Thanks for listening! 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/
