Text us a pool question!

In this riveting episode of Talking Pools Podcast, our esteemed host Wayne Ivusich dons his Chairmen of the PHTA's CPO Advisory Panel hat to delve into the intricate world of water balance calculations in the pool industry. With his wealth of experience, Wayne breaks down the Langeleir Saturation Index (LSI) and various similar formulas used to maintain optimal water conditions in pools. Listeners are treated to a comprehensive discussion on the importance of these calculations in preventing issues such as scaling, corrosion, and cloudy water, offering valuable insights for pool professionals and enthusiasts alike.

However, the episode takes a fascinating turn as Wayne shines a light on manufacturer-hosted LSI indexes, revealing how these calculations can sometimes be skewed toward the products they manufacture. As Wayne explains, this industry practice can lead to a disparity in water balance recommendations, potentially causing confusion among pool owners and professionals. Through his PHTA Chairmen perspective, Wayne encourages listeners to critically evaluate these manufacturer-provided indexes while emphasizing the importance of understanding the fundamental principles behind water balance calculations for maintaining pristine pool conditions.
