Description
00:00 - Intro01:07 - Giving credit where credit is due02:25 - Saltwater pools ARE chlorine pools04:13 - Salt (NaCl) dissolves in water and the sodium (Na) separates from chloride (Cl-). That chloride is what the salt system converts into chlorine04:43 - What a salt cell is and how it works08:45 - Electrolysis converts 2Cl into Cl2, and Eric attempts to read through the three chemistry formulas in order...13:51 - Because Hydrogen gas (H2) does not dissolve, it bubbles off and creates aeration, which leads carbon dioxide (CO2) to also leave, which raises the pH17:00 - All of this chemistry depends on having enough conductivity in the water17:49 - Two factors drive conductivity: water temperature and salinity22:45 - Summary of the episode in just 3 breaths.

4 Types of Chlorine | Trichlor and Dichlor: In our fourth (and final) episode about different chlorine types, Eric covers the two stabilized chlorine types: Trichlor and Dichlor. Neither was originally meant to be primary chlorine types, but Trichlor, over the years, has been incredibly popular for its ease of use, affordability, and simplicity. But all that comes at a cost: CYA overstabilization. by Rule Your Pool
