03:13 - Myth 1: ANSI-11 Standards NEVER allow water chemistry outside the ranges

05:12 - Myth 2: It's important to give water what it wants to "make water happy"

10:01 - Myth 3: The pH is constantly increasing outside of the acceptable range stated in Standard 11, and there are no options

14:40 - Myth 4: Water balance indexes indicate whether water is scaling or corrosive to surfaces and metals

20:12 - Myth 5: In a pool using chlorine and cyanuric acid, keeping the pH in the acceptable range is not important. Chlorine is controlled by the CYA.

29:03 - Myth 6: To control algae, it is important to maintain a certain ratio of CYA to free chlorine

33:54 - Myth 7: Chlorine lock

36:15 - Myth 8: Chlorine demand is caused by high phosphates and nitrates

37:45 - Myth 9: Using bleach in a pool does not raise pH

Chemical Conflicts | Chlorine

24 min
View

00:00 - Introduction

04:54 - Rule 1: Never let chlorine touch any other chemical

07:16 - Rule 2: In commercial pools, pick ONE type of chlorine

09:11 - Rule 3: Keep acid stored with separate spill containment

11:44 - Rule 4: For residential pools, only one primary chlorine type, and possibly one secondary chlorine stored separately

12:36 - Trichlor feeders need to be installed correctly

15:15 - Rule 5: Saltwater pools can use a secondary chlorine shock (but not in-line)

17:10 - Rule 6: Create physical separation between chemicals in your vehicle

19:00 - Mistakes happen...even Eric is guilty

20:33 - Chlorine "conflicts" in water

07:37 - Traditional range chemistry

08:18 - Startup example - stop chasing pH

11:38 - Has range chemistry ever worked?

12:15 - Water doesn't have a voice....or does it?

14:19 - The truth is only the beginning

15:07 - LSI Balance requires CO2 balance with the air

19:35 - "It has always been done this way" doesn't mean it has ever been right
