How to do an Orenda Purge, and Why

00:00 - Intro

01:23 - What is an Orenda purge? It is a deliberately strong initial dose of enzymes and phosphate remover (and sometimes chelant) to reset your water. It gives your water the most reduced chlorine demand possible.

03:58 - The entire purpose of an Orenda Purge is remove chlorine-resistant contaminants.

07:45 - SC-1000 chelates metals and prevents oxidation and staining, but most pools do not need it every year. It will stay in for a very long time.

09:00 - PR-10,000 is a fast-acting, one-and-done product. It leaves behind no residual. And it works very well in tandem with enzymes.

10:42 - Every Orenda purge is based on CV-600 or CV-700 enzymes. Enzymes are the foundation of the purge.

12:51 - Oils and organics float, while dust falls. So if you are trying to clear the pool after using PR-10,000, use enzymes so that oils do not keep the dust suspended in the water.

17:01 - CV-600/700 and SC-1000 purge doses are the exact same amount: one quart per 10,000 gallons.

21:13 - Summary. Thanks for listening!

How to Fix 3 Types of Green Pools

00:00 - Intro

01:31 - Green water from calcium/alkalinity imbalance. Add calcium.

03:08 - Copper. Figure out where the copper is coming from (and stop it), then remove copper.

04:51 - SC-1000 is not a stain or metal remover. It is a chelating agent that needs to be used in conjunction with a citric/ascorbic acid and a metal filter/remover.

07:17 - Algae. Chlorine (HOCl) is the best algaecide. Orenda does NOT make any algaecides.

14:20 - Remove debris from a green pool, because piles underwater can protect algae from chlorine.

18:45 - Liquid chlorine is the preferred chlorine method for green pool cleanups.

19:46 - Reminder: never mix different types of chlorine!

23:25 - Green pool cleanup process (in order): remove debris. Netting, brushing, vacuuming. Super-chlorinate, add PR-10,000, then CV-600 or CV-700 enzymes.

26:21 - When do we add enzymes? Some add them same day, some add the next day. Both seem to work.

31:00 - Recap: first, figure out why your pool is green. It may not be algae.

33:23 - Thank you for listening!

Why is My Pool Green?

00:00 - Intro

01:43 - This pool wasn't an opaque green, it was translucent, tinging green.

02:09 - We know of at least three reasons pools turn green.

03:11 - We could safely rule out copper for this customer.

03:43 - Jarred is a popular guy (phone rings).

04:50 - The next day, the water was perfectly clear and blue, by increasing calcium relative to alkalinity.

05:48 - We don't know why, but if you have too little calcium hardness relative to alkalinity, the water can turn green (but clear).

06:18 - Dr. McNamara: Optimal ratio to inject CO2 is 4:1 (calcium to total alkalinity). If you're under 3:1, water can start to tinge green.

10:43 - The white bucket test (add chlorine to green water and observe color change)

18:08 - If you have algae taking over your pool, your algae is outpacing the killing rate of chlorine.

19:12 - Control what you can control. CYA and chlorine, phosphate levels (indirect relationship, but important). What really matters is your free chlorine and CYA.

24:00 - Wrapping up with two more topics: CO2 feeders and Potassium Monopersulfate. Both can fuel algae growth.

27:21 - Summary: pool can turn green for three reasons: copper, calcium/alkalinity imbalance, algae.

27:55 - Thank you for listening!
