Rule Your Pool ·

2022/05/04

00:00 - Intro01:23 - What is an Orenda purge? It is a deliberately strong initial dose of enzymes and phosphate remover (and sometimes chelant) to reset your water. It gives your water the most reduced chlorine demand possible.03:58 - The entire purpose of an Orenda Purge is remove chlorine-resistant contaminants. 07:45 - SC-1000 chelates metals and prevents oxidation and staining, but most pools do not need it every year.
