Welcome to Episode 181 of the Deep End Pool Podcast! In this episode, Frank and Jacque dive into two critical topics for pool owners: First, we tackle the persistent problem of pool staining, specifically focusing on metal stains. Learn why staining happens more frequently in warmer weather, the science behind sequestering agents, and a revolutionary solution: CU Later Metal Eliminator. We discuss how this innovative product removes metals from your water, preventing stains before they start, and offer insights into dealing with common issues like iron-induced brown water or copper-caused black stains. We also cover how to prevent metals from entering your pool in the first place, especially if you have well water. Next, we shift gears to revisit the fundamental principles of pool maintenance. Frank breaks down the "Five Basics of Pool Care" that, if mastered, can prevent 99.9% of all pool problems. From the importance of consistent brushing and debris removal to optimizing circulation and filtration, and finally, maintaining perfect water chemistry, this segment is a must-listen for anyone looking to simplify their pool management and protect their investment. We also highlight the power of the Orenda app for balancing your water. https://thedeependpoolpodcast.com Green Story Global cya remover: https://amzn.to/4dvU5gx BlueRay XL amazon: https://amzn.to/4jlMfHH *Get Your Betta Solar Skimmer Discount! 💙 BluRay XL Mineral Purifier - Reduce chlorine & maintain crystal-clear water: BluRayXL.com 1:23 - Welcome & Pool Works Updates 2:55 - Understanding Pool Stains & Metals 4:15 - The Role of Sequestering Agents 5:03 - Testing for Metals in Your Pool Water 6:40 - Introducing CU Later Metal Eliminator 9:20 - Managing Metals from Pool Products 11:27 - Non-Removable Water Components (Calcium, TDS) 12:40 - Tackling Well Water & Iron with Fill Fast 14:05 - Oxidized Metals & Pool Discoloration 15:52 - Stain Removal Solutions 18:13 - CU Later's 3-Step Stain Process 20:13 - Sponsor Break 23:22 - Welcome Back: The Five Basics of Pool Care 25:29 - Basic 1: Consistent Brushing 26:30 - Basic 2: Removing Debris 28:40 - Basic 3: Optimizing Circulation 31:17 - Basic 4: Effective Filtration 32:55 - Basic 5: Mastering Water Chemistry (Sanitizer & LSI) Email us questions and show suggestions at deependfrank@gmail.com for questions and show ideas.

It can be different from pool to pool. 20:30 Metals can cause bacteria cells to lysis, meaning they can disrupt cell membranes, causing them to spill their guts. This can result in a release of toxins in some genus of black algae. ' 23:30 black algae will develop a biofilm once established. This biofilm can protect the cyano bacteria from extremely high levels of chlorine. Other algae, viruses, bacteria, amoebas, and other living organisms can harbor within this biofilm and be protected from the sanitizing effects of chlorine or other sanitizers. 25:00 no person has ever contracted the deadly brain eating amoeba naegleria fowleri from a pool that did not also have black algae. 26:30 metal treatments, like copper sulfate, are effective at killing black algae, but the levels that could quickly kill it exceed safe allowable levels of metals. High metal levels can be toxic and can stain pool surfaces. Lower allowable levels of metals, like copper and silver, can still effectively kill black algae, but it takes much more time. 28:15 normal sanitizer levels in a pool with good circulation are extremely effective at killing black algae immediately upon introduction to the pool. 30:10 black algae cannot be transferred from salt water to fresh water, but easily from a freshwater source to fresh water. It can also be transferred by wind, birds, animals, and people. 31:30 Cyanobacteria likes slow-moving water (dead spots), ambient sun light and high pH. 31:45 Black algae does not have roots!!!!! It is a bacteria. Bacteria does not have roots. It does have a better opportunity to thrive on a pitted surface.

Ensure your pool is filled to just below the overflow and have a dry water hose available that can be used from in-house water sources. Washing machine or sink attachments. If water level in the pool gets low and your pump loses prime, trapped water in your above ground equipment and plumbing can freeze and cause damage. 18:30 Buying large amounts of liquid chlorine from big box retailers during post-season price reductions to stock up for next year is a bad idea. Liquid chlorine has a short shelf life. Specialty independent retailers typically receive frequent fresh deliveries and quickly rotate through stock quickly. 25:00 wind moving across the surface of a pool greatly increases evaporation from pools. 27:33 Running a heater during cold spells is extremely hard on the heater due to the excessive condensation. Once the water temperature reaches warm temperatures, the condensation greatly decreases. 35:00 Be familiar with how to emergency winterize your equipment if needed. Get a pro to come out and show you how or make a video on the correct process for your particular pool equipment.

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.

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.

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.

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.
