Located in Destin, FL. I'm a pool professional, and my vacation rental accounts are done twice a week, both pools & spas. At times, the spas get jacked in a day or two and needs draining!
I have a salt pool with an autocover. I test my water every few days. I’m always chasing the PH and TA. I’m glad I watched this episode because now I know why my PH will be 7.8 one day and the next time I test it’s at 7.6. I still don’t quite understand why my TA goes up sometimes 10ppm. I guess I need to do some more reading about Henry’s law. Thanks, for the podcast it really helps us pool owners who are trying to maintain our pools!
I added PR-10000 to my pool a few days ago to see if it would clear my cloudy pool. My phosphate level was at 290 ppb. I added 4oz for 20000 gallon pool and the next morning my pool was crystal clear. The next day I had the phospate level retested and it was now at 228 ppb. My CYA is high at 190 and TDS also high at 3900. I would of thought that the 4oz would have brought it closer to zero. My filter has been running 24/7 since I started. Am I incorrect in my expected outcome or is the product still working and I tested to soon?
So far I been using this method and I have no problems with the pools I service balance the cya at 45 and all good , thank you for your time to make this videos
This was a great and informative podcast! Thank you for posting it. I have been wrestling with this identical calcium crystal situation for a while now and recently d/l the Orenda app to try to help me but I am not having much luck 😞 The 16,000 gallon pool specifics are: pH trying to keep it below 8, Calcium 600 (I know - we are in Nevada) TotAlkalinty 180, CYA 60, totalCL 5, FreeCL 1. Salt 3400 (as recommended by CMP Powerclean salt cell). I did add 30 lbs of boric acid but that has not seemed to help much. I am not sure how best to proceed so any suggestions or advice would be most welcome! Cheers!
Buenar tardes, una pregunta como puedo bajar el nivel de alcanilidad, el agua para mi piscina es de pozo y tiene mucha cal, por lo cual el ph siempre es alto e incluso hechando el producto para bajar el ph me dura solo un día y no logro el nivel de cloro siempre se queda bajo, hay algun producto para bajar la alcalinidad? Ya que por lo que e visto en tu video lo primero es tratar la alcalinidad y despues el ph, me seria de gran ayuda es tanta la cal que tengo que la te go incrustrada en la lona,uchas gracias por tu video
Hola! El agua de pozo puede ser una verdadera pesadilla, precisamente por la alta concentración de metales y minerales. La única manera de arreglar el problema permanentemente, es desde la raíz. Tendrás que encontrar en tu mercado un filtro de metales y minerales e instalarlo antes de que el agua llegue a la piscina.
La dosis es específica a su piscina en particular... depende del tamaño de su piscina y del nivel de pH y alcalinidad actuales, y del cambio deseado obviamente. Puede checar nuestra App!
I am surprised Orenda had to make a dishonest video to prove their point. You poured a full container in one spot rapidly in the "column" pour, and then you poured 1/2 container slowly in a large circle in the "Diluted" pour. The outcome is obvious. Why would I trust any of Orenda's video's after seeing this?
I've been pouring a third into each of my three return jets and haven't had any issues, but my weekly add is only about a pint. Still, your demonstration clearly shows that both distributing evenly around the perimeter and pre-diluting are better strategies. I'll keep that in mind. The Orenda podcasts have been a solid source of useful information on my home pool care. Thank you.
I started diluting my acid in a bucket along with measuring due to your podcast. I'm saving money and my chemicals are much more balanced. Thank you sir.
SW Florida here. I just want to say we get the dust, but I've never seen it so bad to the point where i need to blow it off the deck. In fact, I've never seen it on the ground or on cars.
Im just at my wits end. Imstill struggling to catch up on the other bills since jumping on this pool at a cheaper price. The water bill hasnt been paid and im talking about draining and refilling. Its just not an option. And lets not even go there with the spiders and wasp. I am ready to call it.
This has been an huge issue for us. So far as causing an ear infection in my 14yr daughter. I'm out of funds and on the hottest day. The kit we bought from hth and of course it didn't say anything or have anything to help. In the beginning I really just used the tabs. The shock 1 time a week and baking soda when cloudy. But then it stormed and we have had issues. I'm thinking at this point in this texhoma heat we are just going to drain amd re fill. We can't even hold chlorine
Some comments I have read say do not run the pool filter when adding PR-10,000 and others say to pour in PR-10,000 and run the pool for 24 hours. Which is correct? Also, I have a Dolphin Supreme M5. Can I use this to vacuum the bottom instead of waste waster vacuuming when cloud disappears?
I use hydrogen peroxide for my pool. I added the pr 10000 and my water has turned yellow. The cartridge filter turns rust colored. I added a clarifier, but it has not helped. It has been two days and the water is still not clear. Any advice?
Does CYA sink, float or mix in the water column? I'd like to lower mine and it won't do any good draining from the bottom of the pool is CYA is on top. ????
Depende de la cantidad de ácido agregado. Si es menos de medio galón o dos litros, y lo diluye como se muestra en el video, con la circulación encendida, con 15-30 minutos puede ser suficiente para que el ácido se haya disuelto adecuada y uniformemente y puede utilizar la piscina
