    Containing pH vs. Controlling pH

    Containing pH vs. Controlling pH

    00:00 - Intro

    01:30 - Controlling pH is not possible. pH moves with anything that happens to the water. It's a reactionary chemistry.

    04:07 - Many ways for you to balance the LSI. Use the Orenda App and find out what works for you. 

    05:45 - Disclosure for commercial pool operators with pH limit of 7.8, and those with chemical automation/acid feeders.

    10:26 - White rings around aggregate means the loss of calcium hydroxide (aggressive water stole calcium). From the ITZs.

    12:33 - Example using the Orenda app. Let's do this together so you can see for yourself.

    17:31 - What if we leverage Henry's Law, and use it to our advantage?

    19:21 - Containing pH means never going RED on the LSI calculator, so the pH naturally rises to its ceiling (Henry's Law), and no further.

    25:00 - Quick recap of why pH has to rise.  CO2 determines pH, and CO2 has to off-gas to equalize with CO2 above the water (Henry's Law). 

    29:58 - Stop thinking of pH as something you can control. Focus on keeping the LSI balanced by containing pH.

    31:00 - Recap. Focus on proper sanitization (FC:CYA) and your LSI. Thanks for listening!
