00:00 intro, grandkid jokes, our week
04:44 July 25 was World Drowning Prevention Day. There were 11 drowning deaths in the U.S. on average, and 22 were near drowning every day. Teach your kids to swim. Create barriers. Adult supervision, actively watching the children, and drowning is a silent killer. Don’t allow line-of-sight blockers in the pool. Learn CPR.
09:10 Sahara dust storm hitting the southeast U.S. It can be very problematic. Ensure you don’t let it get you in a bad position with your pool. I got a little lost from the subject, talking about snake gangs in Florida
12:40 Keep chlorine levels up and correct. Use enzymes to take a load off of chlorine. Clarifiers to help remove material from water. Use chelating or sequestering agents for metal in the dust.
14:50 Watch your water levels. Expect excessive evaporation. Don’t cost yourself a lot of money due to negligence in maintaining pool water levels. Make yourself look a couple times every week.
18:27 scale appears in pools. Higher pool water temperatures increase LSI. If LSI gets too high, it will force calcium out of the solution and scale your pool. Manage LSI with lower alkalinity and pH.
20:09 Why is shock clouding your pool? Cal hypo shocks have high pH and add calcium. This is a double dose of trouble with your LSI. consider liquid chlorine in high water temperatures
21:30 We love UPS (sidetracked)
23:05 spreading of algae from pool to pool or natural body of water to pools.
