April 10, 2024 Self-Serving Pseudo-Science (w/ Terry Arko)
00:00 - Introduction
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
