Description
00:00 - Intro01:10 - Wildfires burn through forests and convert plant life into basic elements...primarily carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus.02:15 - The closer you are to the fire, the more contamination will get in your water. If you can smell smoke, it's getting into your pool too.03:45 - Prepare for the smoke, ash and debris when fires start. Be proactive.03:59 - Rare instances: helicopters borrowing water from your pool, and fire extinguisher chemicals getting into your pool. Most likely this is a drain and refill.05:47 - Nothing replaces physically cleaning out debris and cleaning the filter. Chemicals will not remove physical debris.07:30 - Enzymes break down carbon non-living organics. Perfect for addressing carbon contaminants like smoke and ash.08:51 - Phosphates should be removed too. Consider PR-10,000 or CV-700 enzyme + phosphate remover.10:02 - Thanks for listening!

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
