i bet you also saved alot of money! they love to sell you every product under the sun

Learned more in your 10 minute video then I did in the last week trying to understand basic pool maintenance. Thanks for making it easy to understand!

As a pool company I find your content very useful as a training tool. Keep it up.

Hey, I want to ask you about which product is good to adjust the pH and why. Between these two products, sulfuric acid (liquid or dry) and hydrochloric acid, and also about the chlorine shock, which is the best: calcium hypochlorite or TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid)

The way you explain things is very understandable. It's like having a conversation with a friend and they're teaching you to take care of your pool. Thank you!

I think the good mic, back ground and zooming in and out helps increase engagement- Great job

Thank you! Appreciate it, I've recently decided to take over responsibility of the pool since my husband is always saying i do it but never does. It's alway been green. So i've scrubbed all the algae off the tiles after shocking it. All crystal clear now. This is the next step 🙏

helping my mom out by taking over the pool cleaning so she wont have to pay and ur videos are what are helping me keep it clean otherwise she was gonna cover the pool with dirt! so thank you

This is the best explanation ever. Your videos make me feel so confident about pool maintenance on my own as a new pool owner. Thank you.

I can't thank you enough for these informative videos. I am a new pool owner and am lost. These have helped me enormously. I feel so smart now...well not really but thanks!

This is the most helpful accessible video about how to balance my pool that I have found!

You do a great job explaining things. Thanks.

Great video. Best explanation of water testing and water adjustment yet. Great Job

Your video gives new pool owner like me a fundamental and good knowledge on water balance and keeping. Thank you.

just bought a 12 ft pool for the season and i also bought a house with a 20ft by 30ft in ground pool that i will be moving in only in october so this little pool will help me learn the pool chemistry for this summer great video

I wish this industry would STANDARDIZE these chemical names! Even between stores, they call the same additive completely different names! Please, just pick ONE CHEMICAL NAME, and stick with THAT.🤦🏼

Thanks man, Now my pool is crystal. And my skin dosn't peel anymore. Needed PH up (soda ash) too fix 2 things. Thanks again for explaining the importance of PH and acidity.

You're awesome! Haha. Thank you! I'm overwhelmed by this pool chemistry and you help so much!

Way to kick that knowledge straight guy! Well done.

These videos have been extremely helpful to me as a new pool owner

This is very informational content, thank you so much for explaining it. Short and direct.

I actually made popcorn before beginning the video 😮

My PH is always trending up while my alkalinity is trending down. I just add baking soda to raise alkalinity, then a little acid to drop the PH. I do this every week or two

@@tjhughes7740 Possibly because the pool store is also testing CYA and that affects the alkalinity reading. You need to know your cya reading and subtract 1/3 of it from the alkalinity reading you get at home.

Your pool chemistry will never remain the same. When you add in your landscapers, pest control companies, how much you use your pool, if you have animals (dogs) in your pool. Your chemicals won't stay balanced. That's the entire reason in a pool company bc your water will not stay balanced no matter how hard you try... You can be on it everyday,.but you'll always have to adjust things.

He know his business and how to teach!!! Outstanding Video..

thanks from new pool chem salesman, this video really helped to solidify my knowledge.

Thank you for all your information!!! You are great splain everything!!!👍

It has all worked for me. Thank you!!

Thanks for the information sir. Very helpful!

Thank you. I was going crazy I have a pool it’s only 650 gal no perimeters so I had to make it up but now I know.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks... That was crystal clear

Thanks for the info Dude.

He just made my pool store look like complete idiots! Cause they are! Love the video dude..

I’ll bring the popcorn! 😅 Thanks for the info.

I’ve got a question about calcium hardness in plaster pools. I’ve heard that if you have too high of a calcium level that its not a problem if you keep the LSI in check by lowering the ph and alkalinity. With a low calcium pool would raising the ph and alkalinity solve that issue, or will calcium still be pulled from the plaster no matter what you do with the LSI? If someone see’s this and knows, I’ll take an answer from anyone.

Nice way to explain, you are awesome.

I don't own a pool, yet this is interesting to learn. Pool maintenance really is as big as construction of a pool itself.

Know your ORP value. But that's next level stuff.

Thank you very helpful and very easy for me to understand.

loved your instructions. why do people DISLIKE this video

"Nice!" Very thorough!"

Its a pure science,,gotta keep up every day, once it gets outta balance you have to work harder

I used to cook meth so maintaining my new pool came pretty easily to me as well.

My tester only has reagents for testing Ph and Cl, how do I test for alkalinity?

Great videos! So glad I joined Swim University! My pool company is suggesting adding a Ph monitor with dosing pump and acid tank to manage Ph in my pool. Anyone have experience with this setup?

Thanks for the very informative videos! I really appreciate all the time you take to try and educate us about pool maintenance! How can I find out how many gallons my pool is? Nobody could give me an answer when I purchased my home...

@rachelzabala7677

9 ай бұрын

Length x width x average depth x 7.5 = volume (in gallons) Multiplying that by the average depth gives the volume in cubic feet. Since there are 7.5 gallons in each cubic foot, multiply the cubic feet of the pool by 7.5 to arrive at the volume of the pool (expressed in gallons).

This was suuuuper helpful and it’s the first vid I’ve watched lol

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! Thank you! What do I do about my 15kgal pool as it's off the charts on hardness and with the drought we cannot drain and refill? I'm in Southern California. Help PLEASE!

i liked your video it was helpful if the ph s 7.9 and alklanilty is really high do you think we need to decrease our water in the pool we was told that do you think that necessary

I just started a job at a pool supply company. Par of mybjob is to test water. I had no idea how difficult it was going to be. What would u say I should focus on to help me begin to really connect the dots and understand what I'm doing? Thanks so much

Always good info. I have an Anthony Sylvan gunite pool and they recommend a high calcium range from 225-375 ppm. I try to keep it at about 300.

@frankwiddifield7520

300 is perfect 👌. You had (10 months ago) a brand new plaster, if the water is thirsty for calcium, it will get it from the fresh plaster, the freshly drank calcium from the plaster will increase ph so fast and so rapid the calcium will no longer chelate and fall from suspension and leave you with "plaster dust" which is calcium hydroxide.

Are the measurements of the chemicals by weight or by volume for powders and granules?

Does the Baking Soda / Clorox and Borax work for the PH / Alkalinity levels in a Salt Water above ground Pool ? Do you have videos for above ground salt water pools with a Intex Krystal Clear Saltwater System with E.C.O. (Electrocatalytic Oxidation)

Nice video, you mention about increasing water hardness and what to use, what do you use when you live in a hard water area and need to soften the water?

@ila5303

some pool stores will have these pillows that soften water, such as the freshwater brand, but its usually used in hot tubs. id search around for something akin to that :)

Any chance you could do a video on how to accurately read test strips?

@nationalstreak

4 жыл бұрын

Test strips are hard to read. They are typically vague. I would recommend only the ones that take drops from the reagents. A pool is a big investment, worth it to spend the few extra bucks to properly maintain it. False readings could lead you to costing yourself more money, better to go with a more reliable testing method.

Thx

What can you buy to increase calcium hardness apart from adding little bits of it with pool shock?

My alkalinity test comes out perfect 100, it's my PH that is off the charts, it's really high. I didn't see a recommendation for that. Does anyone have an opinion?

Do you have any videos on mineral pools, such as magnapool?

Thank you

Thank you!!!

I have a salt pool. i have always have high pH, and normal alkalinity, or low from time to time. 8.0 pH is norm. Any advice?

THANK YOU SO MUCH

He mentioned high ph is less common but that seems to be my constant situation with my above ground pool. I constantly have to adjust my pool with ph minus. What makes my ph go so far up. I have a 7k gallon pool with a sand filter.

My belief is that Water balance is governed by 3 key parameters: pH, alkalinity & calcium hardness. If these 3 parameters are correctly balanced, the water will be clear. This I understand is the basis of the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI). I also believe that you get the calcium hardness to the right level before you adjust alkanility and pH particularly at the start of the season.

You gotta come to Brues Alehouse in Pueblo Colorado brotha! 🔥🔥🔥

My above ground pool is 13summers old and not once have i ever checked my pool for anything just use chlorine tablets pool is always crystal clear with no problems at all with it.

Great help 😊

Hi I use a UV steriliser to reduce the chlorine content so have you any advice for using this system ?

Could I have a low ph (7,2 in my case) and high alkalinity? My ph is 7,2 chlorine is 3 but pool is milky/cloudy. I had used multi purpose tablets but also had 6 family members over for a week so added some fast working granular chlorine. I constantly have like a white powdery substance on the bottom

Great video👍

I mistakenly add the water to my Intex 10x30 before realizing a filter didn't come with my pool. I just ordered a pump but it will be a week before its delivered. Is there anything i can do to the water to avoid having to empty and replace the water.

When I checked, pH was 7.1 and TA was around 200. It's really strange. If I try to increase pH .. TA will be higher. What I need to do? I would like to increase pH upto 7.4 also I want to decrease TA. Please recommend. pH ? TA ? which one has priority?

What natural products can I use to keep a plastic kiddie pool clean. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Hey, the lesson was great it helped some. But I have an 8 persons salt water hot tub does the same chemistry ably with salt water?

WOW great info

Great vido!video!! Learned alot.. how soon after adding alkalinity up can u swim??
