00:00 introduction
08:00 checking out your pool equipment area, is your equipment pad clean? Do not let your pad be overgrown with grass or be covered in dirt or debris. Watch out for the fire ants mounding up under your pump motor. Fire ants will mound up around your motor to take advantage of the heat. A clean equipment pad will help you identify leaks and other issues.
09:00 your equipment pad should be level, an unlevel pad can stress your plumbing and equipment.
11:05 don't allow the earth around the equipment pad build up to where it can put your equipment in a low spot, causing water to overflow the equipment pad, leading to corrosion or water damage to your swimming pool equipment. You can raise your equipment pad, or improve the drainage in the area so the pad is not in a low area.
15:45 break
16:25 clean your filter, have it operating at it's best going into the winter. Look for equipment leaks, address any issues that may worsen and become a serious problem. Take care of the problems before it is an emergency.
18:50 shaft seal leaks can quickly destroy your pump motor
21:55 look at your gutters and drainage around the pool equipment and pool area. these get damaged or altered, and can become very problematic even if they haven't been a problem before.
23:55 check your heaters before you need it. make sure it's working well. clean out the heaters, maybe add mothballs into the cabinet of the heater, not in the burn chamber, to prevent critters from making your heater their winter home.
24:55 check electrical conduits and wiring. repair any breaks or loose connections
25:52 check and properly secure bonding wire
28:50 check diverter and backwash valves for easy movement, replace orings on valves if questionable at all
31:05 make sure pressure gauge is working properly. replace if questionable, and do a filter cleaning. record clean pressure and at one of the higher speeds you operate at regularly. use this pressure to check if system is operating properly
32:50 check freeze protection, don't find out it didn't work after a freeze by the damage from the freeze. make sure pump is moving water if air temp is below freezing
35:50 check weir doors and skimmer baskets, and pump baskets
36:10 get a leaf cover early, these can get several weeks out on install. allsafepool.com
Frank and Jacque talk about pool water chemistry as your water cools off into the fall, from the center London while traveling.. Ghey also discuss some other things you can do to get your pool ready for the cooler season.
Frank's reads his "If I Were An Algae" poem, and discusses what algae likes and how you can control it.

ipssa.com
Well if I were an algae
I would pick the perfect pool
There would be lots of sunshine
And it would never be cool
I’d like the warmer water
It gives me special powers
I can double in numbers
Every three to four hours
I’m a photosynthesizer
It takes sun to make me grow
And I eat carbon dioxide
That’s dissolved in H 2 O
This raises the pool P H
And makes the water more base
That makes chlorine even weaker
And I can take up more space
There would be many dead spots
Places where water don’t move
I can relax in the sun
And get into my groove
I also love pitted plaster
And it is my safest place
Even if you brush it well
You’ll probably still leave a trace
I love me some organics
Phosphates are my favorite food
Gives me chills for multiplying
It puts me into the mood
I am very much like a plant
When you feed them compost
So dead leaves and plant stuff
For me is like taters and roast
I really like low chlorine
Seven point five percent of CYA
Kills me faster than I grow
So it makes me go away
And please don’t add borates
It makes multiplying real hard
It takes one third less chlorine
To put me in the grave yard
And please do not use copper
To me it can be a real pain
And if water gets unbalanced
It might leave pretty green stains
So let your water go bad
Don’t even bother to test
Let the balance go crazy
And give the chlorine a rest
We all love beauties of nature
So think before you respond
Don’t you want your pretty pool
To look like a green pond
Frank and Jacque answer a listener question about should they replace a pump motor or spend the extra money and install a new Jandy variable speed pump.

using calculator https://www.jandy.com/en/pool-pump-savings
00:00 introduction, Jacque's Birthday! Going to Croatia
07:37 Listener Question: My 2 1/2 hp pump motor is going out. It is making a really loud squeal. This particularly sucks because we are trying to cool the pool by running the pump at night and turning on the valve to the waterfalls, and the pool pump is by my daughters bedroom window. So now she is sleeping with us. The pool is cooler, but her sleeping with us is not cool. Please explain how the $1600 difference between a new motor or new 2.7 horsepower variable speed pump can possibly be worth it.
10:50 many large pumps are oversized for the plumbing. you may be able to downsize the pump to begin with. We find many pumps are too large for the plumbing and should be downsized.
12:10 Jacque asks what is the difference between the pump and motor. Frank explains that motors drive pumps, and can be replaced without replacing the pump, but it is not always the best choice.
13:40 break
14:30 assuming 20 cents per KW, 2.5 uprated motor, and 20K gallon pool, traditional chlorine, proper hydraulics. If hydraulics are not correct the single speed pump will cost even more electricity than what the on line calculator shows.
17:00 estimate a 2.5 hp single speed pump moves about 94 gallons per minute. in 8 hours the pump will move 5628 gallons per hour. In 8 hours this will accomplish 2.25 turnovers per day. We recommend a minimum of 2 turnovers per day. at a cost of $3.71 per day, $110 to $115 per month
If he installs a Jandy 2.7hp variable speed it will move about 1/2 the water per hour, but 2.28 turnovers in 16 hours, at a cost of $1.05 per day for about $31.50 per month. that is about $80 per month savings. About $1000 savings per year. (screwed up the total math on the show, but still significant)
21:00 variable speed pumps are typically much more quiet than traditional single speed pumps.
The extra flow is available if needed for spas and waterfalls if needed.
Running longer and slower filter cycles is usually much more beneficial than shorter higher flow cycles.
Saltwater chlorine generation systems can also be much more effective with longer filter cycles. (This also applies to ozone, UV, and AOP systems)
Frank and Jacque answer a couple questions from listeners. Should you worry about your pool overflowing during heavy rains? And a little more about how long should you run your pump. That turns into a little bit of a rant against the "one hour for every ten degrees of air temperature".

05:40 BB from Georgia asks "We have had some heavy rains. Our water gets higher than our tile around the pool, but it does not overflow the top. My wife gets worried about it overflowing because she sees people talk about how they have to drain their pool down so it doesn't overflow. Should we be worried about that?"
Frank and Jacque talk about the Sahara dust that is hitting the southeast U.S. this week. Don't let this become a problem for you.
poolwerx.com
00:00 intro, grand kid jokes, our week
04:44 July 25 was world drowning prevention day. 11 drowning death in the U.S. on average, every day, 22 near drowning every day. Teach your kids to swim. create barriers. adult supervision, actively watching the children, 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. make sure you don't let it get you in a bad position with your pool. got a little lost from subject talking about snake gangs in Florida
12:40 keep chlorine levels up and correct. use enzymes to take 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 appearing in pools. higher pool water temperatures increase your LSI. if your LSI gets too high it will force calcium out of 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 (side tracked)
23:05 spreading of algae from pool to pool or natural body of water to pools.
The preliminary results are in. We are giving the Green Story Global Cya remover a big thumbs up, with some conditions, and we are continuing to monitor.

see our facebook page https://facebook.com/@deependfrank
00:00 introduction
02:55 Green Story Global Cya Remover. We have used it on one dozen pools for 6 to 8 weeks. It is working. On some it worked better than on others. Good flow amount and time the flow goes over the product in the skimmer does appear to be a big factor on how effective it is. The Cya has continued to stay down, and it does not appear, at this time, that the product is a mask and not the remover it claims to be. It is worth the money to try it if you face draining your pool.
08:30 draining option, with a vinyl pool horror story
16:10 Why does the pool need more chlorine during the summer. heat and sun do shorten the life of chlorine in your pool, and the extra usage of the pool does introduce a lot more contaminants that chlorine has to oxidize, and that in turn uses up the chlorine. Filters are getting dirtier from contaminants, so flow and filtration can be lessened, this puts more of the water maintenance work on the chlorine.
Chemicals and oils from swimmers can also cause chlorine to burn up faster.
17:50 the extra chlorine being added can also effect the water balance. different types of chlorine can affect ph, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and TDS.
using borates, enzymes and phosphate removers can help reduce the amount of chlorine needed to maintain your pool
algae multiplies faster in warmer water. algae will typically double every 3 hours. this faster growth uses up chlorine faster
all of these things increase the consumption of chlorine. just remember you need to maintain without borates, 7.5% of your cya in free chlorine to kill algae faster than it multiplies. with borates it is 5% of your cya level in free chlorine.
extra evaporation requires more fill water which also messes up water chemistry. waterfalls and evaporative chillers increase evaporation, so that in turn will increase water maintenance and adjustment.
28:20 if using a chiller on a pool, that needs to be accomplished during the cooler time of day if day time temperatures are extreme. but do not run at night in lieu of running during the day, run in addition to daytime running. in the heat the pool needs to be filtering and circulating during the day.
32:00 providing shade on your pool can greatly decrease the amount that your pool heats up. using shade sails and umbrellas can keep your pool cooler, decrease evaporation, and decrease balance and oxidizer chemical usage.
35:40 evaporation does cool the pool, why more evaporation is more chemical maintenance in your pool
get on borates, use enzymes, consider phosphate removers, keep water cooler if able,
Derrick Todd steps in as guest with Frank. Derrick is pool business entrepreneur, service business coach, and "Pool Boy" Bar-B-Q rubs. He is also admin on some of the most popular Facebook pool owner groups.
Derrick and Frank discuss some of the myths and misunderstood truths they see in pool owner facebook groups.
poolboyrubs.com
00:00 - meet Derrick Todd. 20 years in the pool industry,
08:50 - Frank and Derrick get frustrated with the belief that products like Pool RX and Blue Ray XL are a replacement for good pool water chemistry and maintenance. These are both great products but are not meant to replace proper water sanitation and water balance. These are excellent products to help in difficult pool situations.
19:38 = the potential problems you may get into with the copper pipe in the skimmer fad
24:10 - supplementing salt pools with additional chlorine products and methods can be very necessary and beneficial on many salt pools.
34:10 - shocking a salt pool , why is this necessary on many pools
41:10 - Why it is fine to add chlorine to your pool during the daylight hours. When your pool needs chlorine, it needs chlorine. Waiting until sundown to add chlorine is is not as important as many claim it is.
Frank and Jacque discuss how salt water chlorine generation pools work, and the benefits and drawbacks of salt water pools.

poolwerx.com if there isn't a Poolwerx near you, become the Poolwerx near you
00:00-05:05 - introduction
05:06 - the great debate, what is better, salt or traditional chlorine pool. A salt pool is a chlorine pool. Salt water chlorine generation pools generate much or all of their own chlorine.
07:18 - salt water pools have typically 2600 to 4000 ppm of salt concentration, human tear 4000 ppm, the ocean has 35,000 ppm
09:00 - use salt that is made for swimming pools. you can stain your pool with non-pool salt
11:05 - how the salt system makes chlorine
12:00 - two types of salt chlorine generators, brine tank and in-line generators. This show is all about in-chlorine chlorine generators
13:29 - salt systems raise pH. this is one of the drawbacks of salt systems
15:10 -break
15:30 -salt systems introduce chlorine gas into the water.
16:49 - salt cells scale up. when salt cells scale up leading to false low salt level readings on the systems. this leads to people over salting their pools. test your salt levels independently of the the salt system reading.
18:12 - as cells reach the end of their usable life they will give a false low salt reading, leading to pool owners over salting their pools. test your salt levels independently of the the salt system reading. salt cells can be expensive to replace
18:55 - in theory salt in a salt pool should regenerate, resulting in a continuous level of salt. but in our experience this is not usually the case
20:15 - don't store large amounts of salt. it isn't worth it. Frank's story of his storm cellar turning into the worlds larges pot of stew, due to salt being stored with hundreds of cans of food. salt is corrosive and will damage metals.
24:25 - how much chlorine can a salt chlorine generator produce, and is it enough for your pool. you have to add stabilizer to a salt pool. even with adequate stabilizer the sun will still burn about 1 ppm of chlorine out of your pool per day.
26:04 - how does percentage setting on a salt system works. it is a percentage of time the system generates, not the amount it generates.
27:30 - the number of hours you run your pump reduces the amount of chlorine you can produce with your salt water chlorine generators.
28:40 - you still have to generate enough chlorine to maintain the minimum residual required to kill algae faster than it multiplies. you have to overcome loads on your chlorine
30:00 - running a salt system 24 hours a day is very beneficial
32:39 - break
34:05 - you still may have to shock your salt pool. the chemistry and maintenance on a salt pool is the same as with a traditional chlorine pool. environments, bather loads, combine chlorines, still may require occasional or even frequent shocking or super chlorinating. extra contaminants still have to be oxidized. all of the five basics of pool maintenance still apply to salt pools
37:23 - salt can be harsh on natural stones and metals in and around pools.
Frank and Jacque discuss how to cool your pool down in the summer and overcome some of the difficulties pool service techs and pool owners deal with due to the heat and swim season.
poolwerx.com
00:00 - 03:30 introduction
03:31 trip through Waxahachie, how do you pronounce it, funny story
07:00 - how to chill your pool. Heat pumps. running heat pumps at night makes them much more effective in chilling the pool, but you must also run your filter and circulation during the heat of the day. Pros and con of an electric heat pump
12:38- evaporative chillers, Glacier. use evaporation to chill water. Pros and cons of an evaporative chiller.
16:30- other ways to chill your pool. water falls and water features during cooler night temperatures will cool your pool. It will also affect your water chemistry.
19:00- heat related issues during the summer season. hotter weather and more sun does require more sanitizer. algae is more active, there are more contaminants being introduced into the water, check your free and total chlorine. supplement chlorine with shock if needed. maintain proper chlorine residuals.
23:20- tab pools you need to watch stabilizer or cya levels. cya will rise during summer with more tab use. adjust chlorine residual as needed to maintain 7.5% or 5% in free chlorine of your stabilizer level.
25:30- green story global cya remover appears to be working well
26:10- salt pools. increase production time for salt water chlorine generators to keep up. increase production percentage.
28:40- benefits of a variable speed pump. make the switch
29:00- watch your filter pressure, keep filter clean and backwashed, keep skimmer and pump baskets clean.
30:20- make sure pool is circulating well. eliminate dead spots.
30:54- borates, enzymes, phosphate removers.
Frank and Jacque discuss a customer that could not get rid of mustard algae no matter how much chemicals he used. Chemistry is the one of the 5 basics that he had right.
You must fix the cause of the problems in a pool, not just treat the symptoms of the problem. Frank goes step by step on all the things this pool owner had working against him.
00:00 - 0400 introduction
04:01 - why is pool water in north texas getting so warm. Higher humidity slows evaporation. evaporation cools the water.
05:50 - retail customer is treating his pool for algae, but it keeps coming back. his water chemistry is the only part of the 5 basics he was doing right.
10:10 - as pool water ages it becomes more difficult to control.
14:25 - weir doors make skimmers work like they are designed to work
15:26 - set pool returns to properly circulate the pool
17:10 - spas do not need more return than necessary. do not starve your pool of circulation to over serve the spa
18:28 - set up spa to circulate well. circulate the footwell of the spa
20:00 - easy way to remove dirt from spa
21:50 - brushing your pool is critical
23:05 - empty pump and skimmer baskets
23:15 - save money and circulate more water by taking advantage of variable speed pumps
24:00 - don't run you booster pumps for pool cleaners more than necessary
25: 02 - monitor filter pressure, and clean your filter as needed, know your clean pressure
Frank and Jacque discuss what makes some pools get cloudy and what are some of the solutions to clear cloudy pools. Covering four possible causes and some solutions including water balance, pool chlorine issues, pool circulation, and pool filtration
00:00-04:30 introduction
04:31 - getting a lot of questions in our stores and on facebook about why are pools getting cloudy
06:00- residential and commercial pool requirements for reasonably clear pools
07:16 - There can be several reasons that a pool is cloudy and different solutions to correct cloudy pools
08:40- if you don't know how to determine why your pool is cloudy, call a pro. Don't waste your time and money on solutions that aren't for your cause.
09:34- four things that can make a pool cloudy. low or improper pool chlorine management, poor pool water balance chemistry, poor pool circulation, and poor pool filtration, or a combination of these causes.
10:35 first thing to diagnose why a pool is cloudy is a complete water test including all components of water balance to calculate LSI, and total and free chlorine levels and calculate combined chlorine levels. Correct pool water chemistry problems first through proper dosing.
13:20- know when the best solution is to drain or dilute your water with fresh water. Consider hiring reverse osmosis service.
18:00- low chlorine levels. heavy loads of organics from body waste, sunscreens, and other organics can deplete your chlorine. This can also clog your pool filter which can compound your cloudy pool water issues.
21:38- what is a boat load of chlorine? 40 to 60% of your cya in free chlorine
24:10- enzymes, phosphate removers, or floc with alum to help ease the load on oxidizers
28:00- combined chlorines or chloramines can cloud water. formula to achieve breakpoint chlorination (shocking the pool). measure free chorine level and total chlorine level in the pool. If there is a difference between the two, that difference is chloramines. To get rid of chloramines you must achieve breakpoint chlorination by raising your free chlorine level to ten times the level of combined chlorine. If you don't achieve ten times the amount, you may have wasted your shock treatment.
30:35- ozone and AOP can also oxidize organics and help your chlorine.
31:18- proper pool circulation and filtration is critical in helping sanitizers keep your water clear.
32:40- what is pool turnover? moving the entire volume of water in the pool through the filter. Recommend a minimum of two turnovers per day in a residential swimming pool.
34:00- backwash and clean filters as needed
35:45- keep pump and skimmers baskets emptied
36:25- sand filters may need help to achieve good filtration by using filter fiber or clarifiers. Replacing the sand in a sand filter with glass filter media greatly improves the sand filter filtration
39:25- circulation and filtration issues can also turn into water chemistry issues
Frank interviews IPSSA member and representative Mark Uberecken, owner of Unified Pool Solutions in Katy Texas. They discuss the many benefits IPSSA provides for pool owners and pool service business companies.
IPSSA creates a community of pool service professionals. IPSSA code of ethics, member requirements for organized training and certifications, liability insurance, and good business practices helps support small service companies, and helps protect pool owners.
IPSSA has scholarships that reimburses members for attending training and receiving certifications. They also support local water safety organizations and provide thousands of dollars nationwide to help families teach their children to swim.
