Description

00:00 - Intro02:35 - Jarred is wearing a Slytherin shirt. He's more of a Ravenclaw, TBH.04:12 - Type of pool cover impacts your winterization chemistry (dilution, pH rise)06:51 - Other types of pool covers that are not for winterizing: thermal and solar blankets. They are not safety covers and are not appropriate for winterization.08:40 - Safety covers are designed to support a lot of weight to keep animals and people (and cars) out of pools.10:54 - Mesh covers allow transfer of water and gas through it. This means dilution, and pH rise.16:21 - Don't be afraid of high levels of calcium going into the winter (500+ ppm)17:31 - Solid covers don't allow dilution and CO2 off-gassing17:50 - Automatic covers can complicate things if your pool is heated a few times during the winter to swim, because the LSI goes from one extreme to the other. Surfaces can get destroyed because the water cannot correct itself.22:08 - Solid safety covered pools do not need quite as much calcium as a mesh cover (400+ ppm), because it won't get diluted.25:14 - Adjust chemicals at least a day before putting a solid cover on.  Let the pH naturally rise up before covering the pool.  If not, you need more alkalinity.26:19 - Thanks 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/
