00:00 introduction, Frank and Jacque talk about their cruise on Royal Caribbean to eastern Canada. Cape Liberty, Boston, Portland, Saint John NB, and Halifax NB.
11:30 Listener Question: J. J. from Dallas. I bought a house with an older pool last year. The plaster and tile were redone a couple of years ago before we bought it. It has older equipment that works fine. It does have a spa and a waterfall on the back wall that uses a different pump. My pool cleaner is an older Polaris with it’s own pump. I had to put $200 in parts in the cleaner this summer and have the seal replaced. I have 3 teenagers and two golden doodles that use the pool a lot from may through august. We are finishing up a couple upgrades in the house and have a decent budget left over to use on the pool. What are some upgrades you would recommend for my pool?
13:30 Robotic Cleaners are an excellent addition to any swimming pool. Frank highly recommends Polaris Alpha IQ+, Polaris Epic 8640 or Epic 8642. Make sure you get 3 year warranty. Avoid Maytronics until they get their warranty and parts availability improved.
23:40 Borates, for salt or traditional chlorine pools. A low cost product that will continue to give benefits and savings in a pool.
28:00 A variable-speed pump can save you up to $1000 per year in electricity and improve filtration and circulation.
35:45 Automation for your pool. Frank recommends Poolside Tech "The Attendant".
45:50 LED lighting. Frank recommends PAL lighting. Many advantages over other manufacturers.

06:00 Pool renovation recap. Get it scheduled now for the fall
10:50 Black Algae. It is a Cyano-bacteria that exists in natural freshwater sources. Birds, ducks, or other animals or insects can transfer it to your pool. It can also be transferred to your pool by swimming suits worn in a lake and then worn in your pool. How and why is it getting in your pool? Lack of maintenance, adequate sanitizer levels, or circulation can prevent black algae.
Black algae have a bio-film protective layer that has to be penetrated before you can kill the cyano-bacteria.
Brushing or pressure washing is necessary to penetrate the protective bio film.
scrubbing black algae spots with a chlorine tab is a good way to penetrate the biofilm, and applying concentrated chlorine directly onto the cyano-bacteria.
BlueRay XL is a mineral purification system that works very wel in, preventing, controlling,g and helps to eliminateg black algae.
Many black algaecides have high concentrations of metals. If not monitored and controlled metals can stain your pool surfaces.
Culator metal eliminator is the only way I have found to remove metals from pool water effectively. Many "metal control" products only sequester metals. Chlorine breaks down sequestering agents. They are a temporary help, but do not remove the metals from the water.
If you have metal stains on your pool surfaces, the stain has to be pulled back into the water before you can remove it.

00:00 introduction
10:06 When is the best season to remodel your swimming pool? Cons of remodeling in the spring. Time constraints, weather, and product availability can be an issue. Pros, full staffing and skilled labor is available.
17:20 Issues remodeling a pool in the winter are weather, labor availability, and pushing up against the holidays. Nobody wants their backyard to be a mess during holiday parties or traveling.
20:45 Fall is Frank's preferred time to renovate pools. The weather is manageable, there is less rush to finish before the holiday season, a reasonable labor force, and plenty of time to order and wait on preferred product selections if needed. There is also plenty of time to allow proper plaster curing. Renovation companies may also offer some incentives.
30:40 soapbox time: Frank goes off about plaster/renovation companies not offering proper plaster start-up yet will quickly void warranties if it needs to be done correctly.
34:28 Listener question number 2; When should you order your cover for your swimming pool. Frank recommends ordering leaf and safety covers in late summer. What is the difference between a leaf cover and a safety cover.
43:00 when covering an operational pool you must continue to test and properly treat your water.

Kona Labs auto fill system. Discount code FRANK30 https://konalabs.com?sca_ref=2885748.7RaoP0UgWu&utm_source=uppromote&utm_medium=refferal&utm_campaign=affiliates00:00 introduction
05:30 rat damage to a Hayward heater. AO error on display. Rat chewed through the blower air tube, igniter wiring, and flame sensor wiring.
12:30 what is the term "Shock". Shock is a verb. Shock is the action of quickly increasing the level of sanitizer in water to destroy contaminants and chloramines. The product you use to accomplish this increase is not really a "shock", even though the manufacturers are putting it on the label. Some people have a real problem with the misuse of this term.
15:00 Chloramines are a byproduct of chlorine and contaminants. They are an irritant and are the cause of the obnoxious smell that you may experience at a heavy-use pool or spa. The chlorine combines with contaminants and does not completely oxidize them. You measure chloramines by testing free and total chlorine separately. The difference between the two is your combined chlorine, which is chloramines. To eliminate chloramines using old-school methods, achieve ten times the amount of chloramines in free chlorine.
25:00 heat damage we see in summer. The most damage we see is caused by pumps losing their prime. When pumps run dry, they can get extremely hot and damage the pump, associated plumbing, and valves. Due to this extreme heat, shaft seals on pumps can quickly fail. A bad shaft seal can quickly ruin a pump motor. o-rings on valves and pump lids can be quickly damaged due to this heat.
33:45 How much water should you typically have to add to your pool? Be careful with auto-fills. Auto-fill failure is a common issue. Kona Labs is a great after-market auto-fill system.

42:30 leaf covers. If you are going to get a cover for your pool, the sooner you need to get it ordered early. Many companies offer early discounts, and the closer to the fall it is, the longer it can take to get the cover ordered and installed.

00:00 introduction
02:05 Frank starts talking about borates, and how it is a tool that we should all be using in our pools.
02:30 Borates slow the growth of algae.
02:55 The sex life of algae, and why they are all "fellas". Bubba explains it all
04:04 algae can double in numbers every 3 to 4 hours when conditions are right and you don't have enough chlorine to kill it faster than it multiplies.
05:00 without borates it takes 7 1/2% of your cya level in free chlorine to kill algae faster than it multiplies. With borates it takes 5% of your cya level in free chlorine to kill algae faster than it multiplies. Algae slows the growth rate of algae.
05:44 borates help stabilize your pH. Chlorine is more effective with a lower pH.
06:20 borates soften the water and make it feel better on your skin.
07:00 borates is a clarifier
08:00 borates is a cost saver and has no ill effects on the pool.
11:20 Borates help greatly with some of the issues with salt systems
-
Frank and Jacque discuss issues Frank has been seeing in the field with Hayward salt systems, pump cavitation, and, once again, the benefits of borates.

00:00 Introduction, Jacque is back
09:27 Hydraulics, It needs to be easier for a pump to pull water than to push water. A gravelly noise means the pump is cavitating. If using a suction side cleaner, you should not have to cavitate the pump to achieve proper suction on the cleaner.
14:00 How diverter valves work.
19:22 Hayward salt systems. The control system has to be properly set to the correct salt cell. There are 4 different T Cell sizes. If your controller is reading significantly off from water tests, it may need to be set to the proper cell size. The salt reading is high on the Hayward salt system. Salt system salt readings can vary 400-600 ppm from water test results and still be considered within range. Do not always trust the salt system readings from the salt control system. Test your water. Do not over-salt your pool.
30:00 If you are not qualified to work on electrical work, please do not work on pool lights or other components of electrical system.
30:40 Story of pool owner allowing kids to swim when they were receiving an electrical shock in the pool. Bond wires connect all metal components of a pool together and give an easy path to ground. This helps prevent potential electrical shock from stray electricity.
37:00 Borates. Borates have several benefits and no bad side effects for a swimming pool. Borates reduce the growth rate of algae. Borates help stabilize pH. Borates soften the pool water. Borates is a clarifier.

00:00 Intro
06:00 evaporation is heat loss, helps cool water. High humidity reduces evaporation and water heats faster. Many forms of algae like warmer water.
07:35 Avoid putting flower beds around pools or any landscaping that may wash into the pool. This puts nutrients in the water that algae need to live.
10:35 Phosphates is algae food.
10:50 debris in the water, diluting water with heavy rains, filters getting dirty due to wash-in, all help contribute to algae growth.
11:41 nearby natural water sources, heavy foliage over the pool, close by golf courses, all may contribute nutrients to the pool that feed algae.
12:00 algae is also airborne and can always get into outdoor pools. it may also be introduced by insects and animals coming from natural water sources.
14:15 Tap water may be treated with phosphates
14:48 Rough plaster and surfaces in your pool give algae protection from currents and chemicals. Algae likes calm water.
15:45 Algae can double every three to four hours
15:55 Rough and jagged natural stones in water give algae-protected areas to create a colony.
22:10 brushing is critical in helping to minimize algae.
24:45 footwells in spas are frequently colonized by algae due to poor circulation.
26:50 Poor circulation on tanning ledges, along with water being heated quicker on tanning ledges, promote algae growth.
28:30 Chorine is one of the best algaecides.
03:25 Lower pH makes chlorine more active and effective. This can be problematic in salt pools that tend to run pH up. Algae will cause pH to rise, creating a better environment for the algae.
35:00 good filtration helps control algae
36:30 Chlorine is a good way to eliminate green algae. clean the filter, filter and circulate 24/7 until algae is eradicated. balance water. increase free chlorine to 30 ppm. brush brush brush
42:20 Mustard algae is more difficult to kill than green algae. Sodium bromide can help kill mustard algae, but do not overuse sodium bromide in a chlorine pool. BlueRay XL or metal algaecides are effective with mustard algae. cannot use sodium bromide with salt systems, UV, or ozone. Manage metal levels when using metal-based algaecides. Use CULATOR sequestrants and metal remover to manage metals.
48:20 ammonium sulfates can work to manage algae. Frank is not a fan. It can mess up chlorine residual for extended periods.
50:00 black algae is a cyanobacteria. difficult to kill. can get bad enough that you have to drain and chlorine wash if doable on your pool. scrub with chlorine tab. BlueRay XL helps manage black algae.
52:00 Controlling phosphate levels will help you manage algae. Phosphate removers require more frequent filter cleanings and/or backwashing.
54:20 borates help slow the growth of algae.

00:00 introduction
02:45 Dealing with the changing nature of each pool's chemistry.
05:35 Properly test, then calculate and add measured doses. The amount needed for chlorine varies from week to week.
06:00 How much chlorine is needed in your pool?
08:00 Without borates, calculate 7.5% of your CYA and adjust chlorine dosing to maintain your chorine at 7.5% of your CYA. With borates it is 5% of your CYA.
10:00 anytime your chlorine falls below the need amount, super chlorinate your pool (7-8 ppm) to handle that extra load, and increase your maintenance dose of chlorine.
13:30 Salt systems may need to increase the percentage of chlorine production and run times on the filter pump to keep up with chlorine demand.
21:30 Borates. Softens water, it's a natural clarifier, helps stabilize pH, and slows the growth of algae.
23:55 chlorine is more effective at lower pH, and CYA protects chlorine from UV rays better with a lower pH.
27:00 with borates in your pool at 40 to 50 ppm, you need to maintain a chlorine residual of 5% of your cya vs 7.5% without borates.
31:00 we found that running a little higher pH is the chlorine does not last as well. The higher pH affects the ability of cya to protect chlorine from UV rays.
33:10 pool staining. CU Lator removes metals from the water.
34:00 metal staining on plaster or pool surfaces means the metal in the water has gone out of solution. If the metal is on the surfaces of the pool structure, it is not in the water to be tested, though some may still be in solution.
36:00 Mineral purification systems, like BlueRay XL, do add metal to the water. You need to manage your metal levels when using these products. Regular testing of metals, and using CU Lator metal remover as needed.
38:00 Keeping LSI balanced is critical to prevent metal and calcium staining.
