Description
00:00 - Intro00:59 - What is 2022 going to look like? What can we expect with the supply chain shortages?05:10 - What can you do NOW to make openings smoother in a few weeks? 08:57 - Most pools with mesh covers (or no covers) will have lower calcium and higher pH than they winterized with.12:55 - A hard reset in the spring is a very good practice. What can you decide to remove from your water?16:22 - We can start removing phosphates and non-living organics now. Addressing metals will have to wait until the water is warm enough. 17:50 - A hard reset puts yourself and your customer in the most advantageous position going into the season.18:36 - Summary - 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/

pH vs. Total Alkalinity, and Their Roles in Pool Chemistry: pH and total alkalinity are important water chemistry factors that are often confused and misunderstood. This episode explains in detail what each of them are, what they do, and how they interact with other pool chemistry. Since pH impacts just about every other chemistry in water, it is important to manage it properly, according to the physics of water. Too often, pool owners and operators try to control pH, but it is a futile, costly effort. https://www.orendatech.com Show-Notes: [01:32] What is ph? [02:30] pH is an equilibrium [07:58] Negative logarithm of hydrogen [08:43] Let's not try to control pH. Physics is going to raise the pH in swimming pools. [09:50] Henry's Law of the Solubility of Gases [12:23] Buy a ph probe to find out your exact ph. [12:37] Your ph can raise from algae, vanishing edge pools, spas, spillover, or salt cell. [17:17] ph is the most impactful factor to the Langelier Saturation Index [18:53] Pro by Rule Your Pool
