  1. Pool Chemistry Truths: Chlorine, pH & CYA with Eric Knight

    Pool Chemistry Truths: Chlorine, pH & CYA with Eric Knight

    Most pool pros have heard it for years: lower the pH to make chlorine stronger. That’s true in non-stabilized water, but once cyanuric acid enters the picture, the rules change. We sit down with Eric Knight to unpack why the FC-to-CYA ratio, not pH, governs chlorine’s effective strength in outdoor pools—and how that insight can save you time, money, and a lot of acid. We break down the chemistry in plain language. You’ll hear how chlorine splits into hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion, why that balance matters indoors, and how CYA binds most chlorine outdoors to form isocyanurates. With typical CYA levels, the effective kill speed stays nearly the same between pH 7.0 and 8.0, which means chasing an ultra-low pH for “stronger chlorine” is a dead end. Instead, use pH to manage balance on the Langelier Saturation Index, contain its rise with smart alkalinity and calcium hardness, and aim for a CYA level that keeps your free chlorine target achievable. We also talk real-world strategy: the pitfalls of overstabilization, how high CYA inflates contact times, and why partial drains are sometimes the only fix. To sharpen your program, support chlorine with enzymes to trim oxidant demand, control phosphates to lower growth pressure, and consider secondary oxidation where it fits. The goal is a stable chain: CYA in range, free chlorine matched to that CYA, pH contained for LSI, and demand reduced so sanitizer can do its job. • FC-to-CYA ratio as the primary driver of chlorine effectiveness in outdoor pools • Why pH control matters for LSI balance more than sanitization with CYA present • The equilibrium of HOCl and OCl− in non-stabilized water contrasted with CYA-bound chlorine • Practical CYA ranges and why levels above 50 ppm complicate free chlorine targets • Overstabilization risks, longer contact times, and when to drain and dilute • Using enzymes, phosphate control, and secondary oxidizers to reduce oxidant demand • Containing pH with LSI strategy instead of forcing low numbers that rebound • Clear differences between sa Send us a text Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA https://bit.ly/HASAThe Bottom Feeder.

    PoolRx Boosters: When, Why, and How—According to Fred Schweer

    Clear water without the constant chlorine chase starts with getting the minerals right. We sat down with Fridge Tweer from PoolRx to unpack how proper sizing, clean filters, and smart booster timing keep mineral levels in the sweet spot so chlorine stays low and algae stays gone. From backyard pools to large commercial bodies of water, we walk through the exact steps that improve clarity, reduce chemical costs, and shave time off weekly service. The conversation digs into the real-world variables that affect longevity: gallons, filtration, initial water quality, and dilution from backwashing or splash-out. You’ll learn the telltale signs that your mineral level has dipped—rising chlorine demand, dull water, or that first hint of algae—and how to fix it fast with the right booster. For saltwater pools, we outline simple moves that pay off: lower pH to 7.2–7.4 on install, then dial SWG output down to 30–40 percent as chlorine holds longer. A touch of zinc in the formula helps scale resist sticking to salt cells, meaning less acid use and fewer cleanings. We also cover compatibility so you can streamline your kit: PoolRx plays well with UV, ozone, enzymes, phosphate removers, and borates, while avoiding bromine, sodium bromide, biguanides, and other copper-based algaecides. If you use Cal Hypo granular, dissolve and dilute in a bucket first to prevent instant oxidation stains; tabs and other chlorines are fine. With DE filters, consider recirculating on install or place the unit in the far skimmer and start at the beginning of a run cycle to help minerals dissolve into solution. Variable-speed setups benefit from longer initial run times to finish the dissolve.  • lifespan drivers and why clean filters matter • signs you need a booster and which size to choose • commercial and large-pool scaling options • saltwater pool setup, pH targets, and SWG output • zinc’s descaling benefits on salt cells • compatible products and what to avoid • Cal Hypo dilution to prevent oxidation stains • DE and variable-speed pump install timin Send us a text Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA https://bit.ly/HASAThe Bottom Feeder.

    High CYA & High Metals: Fred Schweer’s Fix-It Formula

    Algae that won’t quit, stains that appear out of nowhere, and chlorine that seems to do less the more you add—if that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. We sat down with Fred Squeer of Pool RX to unpack the chemistry hiding beneath clear water: dissolved metals and high cyanuric acid. Together we map a straightforward plan to reduce chlorine use, prevent algae, and avoid oxidation events that create brown iron spots or purple copper dust. We start with the truth about metals. Well water, aging copper heat exchangers, and copper-based algaecides can push copper and iron above safe thresholds. Before installing Pool RX, a quick metal test can save you from stains and headaches. Fred explains why Pool RX’s chelated minerals are protected while unchelated, existing metals are not—and how increasing chlorine activity can drive those metals past saturation. We dig into proven removal paths like CuLator polymer capture, alum floc, and when sequestering agents make sense, along with why they need reapplication. Then we tackle cyanuric acid. CYA helps chlorine last but makes it kill slower, which is exactly where Pool RX shines by targeting microalgae so chlorine can focus on clarity and sanitation. We break down adjusted alkalinity—how high CYA can make your alkalinity reading look fine when it’s effectively low—and show how to keep pH, alkalinity, and calcium in the sweet spot. If purple dust appears, we explain copper cyanurate, why it forms, and the fast path to resolution by lowering CYA and restoring balance. • why testing for copper and iron before install matters • how chelation protects Pool RX minerals but not existing metals • sources of metals and safe target ranges • proven metal removal options including CuLator and alum floc • high CYA slowing kill rate and how Pool RX helps • adjusted alkalinity with high CYA and practical ranges • identifying and preventing purple copper cyanurate • raising alkalinity with sodium bicarbonate dosing • cutting tabs, using liquid chlorine, and slowing CYA rise • exte Send us a text Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA https://bit.ly/HASAThe Bottom Feeder.

    Fred Schweer: The Science Behind PoolRx+ and Cleaner Water

    Clear water shouldn’t require a chemistry degree, a mountain of tabs, or weekly emergencies. We sit down with Fred Schweer, VP of Sales at PoolRX, to unpack how a chelated mineral system—copper, silver, and zinc—eliminates algae and frees up chlorine so your pools stay cleaner with less effort and expense. If you’ve battled microalgae, chased phosphate numbers, or watched high CYA slow your sanitizer to a crawl, this conversation reframes your approach with simple, reliable steps. We break down what “chelated” really means and why it matters for safety, stain prevention, and long-lasting effectiveness. Fred explains how PoolRX’s unique chelation keeps minerals active for up to six months, even under pH swings and heavy oxidation, and why standard copper tests won’t read chelated copper accurately. With algae out of the picture, chlorine becomes more active, clarifiers and extra shocks fade from the routine, and many pros find they can maintain 0.5 to 1 ppm free chlorine while holding crystal clarity. If you want to cut costs, reduce shocks and clarifiers, and keep customers happy with clear water week after week, this is a must-listen.

    Bob Lowry on Surface Cautions Every Pool Pro Should Know

    Pools don’t fail just from age or weather; they fail when chemistry, circulation, and surface type don’t match. We dig into the real-world differences between vinyl, fiberglass, plaster, and pebble finishes, showing how each material changes your approach to water balance, sanitizer levels, and maintenance. From ground prep that keeps nutgrass from piercing vinyl to the warranty risks of using trichlor tablets with fiberglass, we share the practical moves that help surfaces last and water stay clear. We talk through why vinyl and fiberglass often hold pH more steadily than plaster, and how colored plaster’s mottling can be an installation issue, not a chemistry fix. For pebble and exposed aggregate pools, we explain why texture invites calcium scale and algae, how diamond polishing reduces crevices, and why circulation time and brushing frequency matter more than quick, short filter cycles. If your above‑ground kit shipped with a tiny filter, a weak pump, and no timer, you’ll learn why upgrading equipment is the fastest path to clarity and chemical efficiency. Our central takeaway: set free chlorine based on cyanuric acid, not a fixed chart. Aiming at 7.5 percent of CYA offers reliable algae control even in high‑stabilizer water, and adding borates to 50 ppm makes it harder for algae to start in the first place. Pair this with thoughtful calcium targets—lower for vinyl and fiberglass, higher for plaster—plus consistent pH control and solid circulation, and you’ll prevent stains, scale, and blooms before they begin.  • Prep and support for vinyl liners, including nutgrass control • Why acid damages vinyl color and trichlor tablets stain fiberglass • How vinyl and fiberglass differ from plaster in pH and alkalinity behavior • Target calcium levels: lower for vinyl and fiberglass, higher for plaster • Undersized equipment in above‑ground kits and smart upgrades • Pebble challenges with calcium and algae and how polishing helps • Circulation time, brushing and robotic cleaners to stop footholds • Chlorine as 7.5 percent of Send us a text Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA https://bit.ly/HASAThe Bottom Feeder.

    Commercial vs Residential: Bob Lowry Explains the Big Differences

    The calm of a backyard pool and the chaos of a hotel deck look similar from the waterline—but they run on different rules. We pull back the curtain on why commercial water turns volatile under heavy bather load, how chlorine gets consumed faster than you can pour it, and what it really takes to keep guests safe and inspectors satisfied. From oxidation priorities to daily logs, this is a candid look at the work behind a compliant, open-for-business pool. We talk through the core chemistry differences between residential and commercial service, showing how algae and bacteria drive decisions at home while bather waste dominates in public settings. You’ll hear why limited testing once a week works in a backyard but fails in a busy facility, and how ORP and pH automation provide continuous control and defensible data. We unpack the strengths and gaps of CPO training, where facility operations meet code, and where deeper chemistry knowledge fills the holes—covering sanitizer behavior, breakpoint chlorination, combined chlorine, and the pH leverage you need to keep water stable. Then we get practical about business realities: interacting with health inspectors, documenting everything, handling fecal incidents, and responding to late-night calls that can decide whether a pool stays open. We weigh insurance requirements, true pricing for time and risk, and why mixing dozens of residential stops with a few commercial accounts can strain your schedule and cash flow. If you’re thinking about adding hotels, apartments, or HOAs, you’ll leave with a clearer view of the workload, the liability, and the systems that make it sustainable. • core chemistry goals in residential vs commercial pools   • limits of CPO for deep chemistry and where it helps   • daily testing, logs, and inspector expectations   • using ORP and pH automation for control and proof   • fecal incident response, uptime pressure, and liability   • pricing for risk, insurance needs, and hassle factor   • choosing a business model and on‑site operator support   • why adv Send us a text Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA https://bit.ly/HASAThe Bottom Feeder.

    Bob Lowry’s Start-Up Science for Every Pool Surface

    Fresh plaster only gets one chance to cure right, and most problems start before the first cannonball. We dive straight into the real-world startup decisions that determine whether your pool finishes smooth and stain‑free or inherits permanent issues. With veteran insights from chemical expert Bob Lowry, we compare the big methods—barrel, traditional, and acid—and map clear rules of thumb for when each one makes sense based on source water and surface type. We get practical fast: test the fill water before you open the hose, set calcium to at least 150 ppm on day one, and decide how to handle metals the smart way. You’ll hear why hose‑end pre‑filters beat sequestering agents, how to use skimmer removal media effectively, and why sequestering alone fails as it breaks down under sunlight and chlorine. We also unpack the plaster dust problem, showing how a slightly low pH keeps dust soluble without risking surface burn, and why cartridges outperform sand when you need to capture fines. New plaster is fragile, so we outline the non‑negotiables: never stop the initial fill, protect the surface from hose damage, keep wheels and robots off for weeks, and keep pets and people out until balance stabilizes.  Whether you’re a service pro scaling up or a homeowner protecting a six‑figure investment, this guide gives you the steps, targets, and tools to start clean and stay clean. If this helped you sharpen your startup playbook, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review so more pool owners and pros can find it. • why startups shape the life of the surface • barrel vs traditional vs acid methods and where each fits • testing fill water for calcium, alkalinity, copper and iron • hitting 150 ppm calcium on day one for balance • removing metals with pre‑filters and skimmer media • limits of sequestering agents and why they degrade • managing plaster dust with controlled pH and filtration • new plaster cautions: continuous fill, no wheels, no pets • recovery steps when builders skip startup • r Send us a text Support the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors! HASA https://bit.ly/HASAThe Bottom Feeder.

    The Low pH Danger Zone: Bob Lowry Breaks It Down

    Ever wonder why a pool can look fine one week and show stains, rough plaster, or a failing heater the next? The culprit is often low pH—water that turns aggressive, dissolves metals, and etches surfaces long before the damage is obvious. We walk through how acidic water behaves, where metals come from, and why stains show up only after the water hits its saturation point. We dig into real-world service scenarios: vinyl and fiberglass pools that trend acidic because they lack buffering minerals, spa tubs that swing wildly depending on chlorine type and use, and the risky combo of low pH with cheap test kits that feed bad decisions. You’ll hear why investing in a reliable photometer that reads copper and iron saves you from surprise stains and equipment corrosion, plus a clear plan for when to use soda ash, borax, or baking soda. We also share a fast spa recovery routine: raise alkalinity first, then aerate to lift pH without overshooting. Along the way, we challenge old chlorine wisdom. With cyanuric acid in play, the classic HOCl charts don’t tell the whole story. The smarter approach is keeping free chlorine appropriate to CYA while holding pH near 7.5 for swimmer comfort and stable balance. We cover borates as a pH buffer, how they affect alkalinity readings and the saturation index, and why soda ash lifts pH and alkalinity more strongly than bicarb when both are low. • why low pH makes water aggressive • etched plaster, corroded components, invisible metals • saturation points leading to staining • value of accurate copper and iron testing • vinyl and fiberglass pH drift and tablet use • spa chemistry, aeration, and quick rebalancing • comfort thresholds for bathers around pH 7.5 • choosing borax, soda ash, or bicarb by goal • borates’ impact on readings and stability • chlorine effectiveness with cyanuric acid • practical dosing plans and test habits Are you a pool service pro looking to take your business to the next level?
