The Deep End Hosts
Frank and Jacque Disher were childhood sweethearts, and they
have a chemistry between themselves that makes them appealing
and entertaining to their listeners. They have even had a few
listeners remark that they no longer own a swimming pool, but
they still listen to the show and enjoy the banter between this
loving couple.
Frank has 29 years of experience in the pool industry and has
successfully run his business in the Dallas/Fort Worth market
since 1997. Frank transitioned his business and joined the
Poolwerx franchise group in 2017. Frank and Jacque have
received numerous industry awards, and they are the only current
two-time Poolwerx Franchise Partner of the Year recipients. Frank
has a passion for education and is always seeking to find new
and better products and information that will improve the
experience of swimming pool owners and make pool
professionals better at what they do. Frank has a teacher’s heart
and loves to educate and share his knowledge and experiences.
His southern accent, slang, and sense of humor, combined with
Jacque’s brilliance and wit, make them a joy to listen to.
Jacque has a master’s degree in theatre and has spent many
years on stage and teaching at all levels in the Dallas / Fort
Worth, Texas, area. Her pool industry experience is limited to the
administrative side of the business. Still, she brings a honed
theatrical talent to the podcast and is the perfect partner for
asking questions the novice pool owner and pool pro would ask
when seeking to understand. Her humor and natural fun
interaction with Frank create the ideal chemistry to make the
show a favorite for listeners.

Season 2 · Episode 67
samedi 8 avril 2023 • Duration 01:08:39

Swimming pool maintenance, pool algae, pool chemistry, chlorine, water chemistry, pool circulation, pool filtration, simple pool care, easy pool maintenance, pool filter, pool pumps, pool skimmers,
00:00- 09:25 introduction
09:26- the fab 5. do these 5 basic things to make maintenance easier and save yourself money. keep it simple
11:40- water chemistry, test chlorine, ph, alkalinity weekly at a minimum. test calcium, tds, cya, and verify salt level monthly at a minimum. maintain a good LSI, or water balance. be sure to calculate water temperature in your water balance. keep chlorine at 7.5% of cya level, with borates of 40 to 50 ppm, keep chlorine at a minimum of 5% of cya
15:25- circulation is critical in maintaining your pool. turn entire pool clockwise or counter clockwise. adjust returns or change out returns to ones that are more directional to accomplish better circulation. algae loves dead spots.
19:24- filtration, it removes organics and contaminants from the pool body so your chemistry does not have to deal with it in the body of pool. make sure the volume of water in the pool passes through the filter at least 2 times per day, the more the better. know your clean filter pressure and monitor it. clean and backwash filter as needed. dirty filters reduce flow in the pool. know the sound of the filter pump when it is operating well so you recognize when there is an issue.
24:04- remove debris from the pool. dead organics release nutrients into the water that feed algae. keep your pool clean. keep flower beds and mulch away from the pool. keep skimmer baskets emptied. empty pump baskets. replace broken skimmer baskets and pump baskets.
26:23- brush your pool walls and raised flat areas weekly or on a regular basis. cleaners do not do enough of scrubbing that is needed in your pool. algae attaches to the walls. some pool finishes have many little crevices that algae can be protected in. brushing helps remove protective layers of algae and gets the algae into the water where good chemistry can kill.
