Episode Details

Why does that sharp chemical smell at the pool mean your chlorine is losing, not winning? 

This episode breaks down the real chemistry behind combined chlorine and chloramines, the actual mechanism behind the seven and a half percent chlorine-to-cyanuric-acid ratio, and why a fixed LSI range can turn against your pool's plaster and equipment without warning. 

Includes a real two-year, zero-CYA field experiment on salt pools, and why some of the most repeated advice at the pool store counter was never built for your specific water in the first place. 

This one's about building the kind of pool chemistry confidence that doesn't depend on trusting whoever's behind the counter, knowing your own water well enough to trust yourself instead.
