How to Fix 3 Types of Green Pools

Rule Your Pool ·

2021/06/09

00:00 - Intro01:31 - Green water from calcium/alkalinity imbalance. Add calcium.03:08 - Copper. Figure out where the copper is coming from (and stop it), then remove copper.04:51 - SC-1000 is not a stain or metal remover. It is a chelating agent that needs to be used in conjunction with a citric/ascorbic acid and a metal filter/remover.07:17 - Algae. Chlorine (HOCl) is the best algaecide. Orenda does NOT make any algaecides.14:20 - Remove debris from a green pool, because piles underwater can

Rule Your Pool ·

2021/05/26

00:00 - Intro01:19 - What is CYA and why do we use it?04:54 - Hot temperatures do NOT mean you need more CYA. Temp has nothing to do with sunlight protection and CYA. But chlorine does get used up faster because it works better.10:52 - You do not need a lower pH to have strong chlorine (%HOCl) when you have CYA in your water.12:00 - Percentages of HOCl without CYA are pH-dependent. With CYA, that no longer applies.15:57 - Overstabilization = too much CYA relative to Chlorine19:39 - Oversabilization

Of all types of chlorine, Calcium Hypochlorite (Cal Hypo) might be the strongest, but it is also the most volatile to handle. Even its fumes can rust just about anything in your garage or storage container. In this episode, Eric and Jarred discuss Cal Hypo and the strategies you may need to adopt to properly manage this powerful chemical. If you are having issues with cal hypo because of calcium drift up, high pH, or otherwise, our boys have your back. BE AWARE: Different types of chlorine are

It's a short episode this week as we dive into a new topic: different kinds of chlorine. The next few episodes will focus on liquid chlorine, calcium hypochlorite, trichlor, and salt generated chlorine in that order. As a point of order, we should also tell you this: NEVER mix or store different kinds of chlorine together. ------------------------------------ Connect with Orenda Technologies Website: https://www.orendatech.com Help Center: https://ask.orendatech.com Blog:
