Containing pH vs. Controlling pH
32 minutes Posted Aug 25, 2021 at 1:00 pm.
Intro01:30 - Controlling pH is not possible. pH moves with anything that happens to the water. It's a reactionary chemistry.04:07 - Many ways for you to balance the LSI. Use the Orenda App and find out what works for you. 05:45 - Disclosure for commercial pool operators with pH limit of 7.8, and those with chemical automation/acid feeders.10:26 - White rings around aggregate means the loss of calcium hydroxide (aggressive water stole calcium). From the ITZs.12:33 - Example using the Orenda app. Let's do this together so you can see for yourself.17:31 - What if we leverage Henry's Law, and use it to our advantage?19:21 - Containing pH means never going RED on the LSI calculator, so the pH naturally rises to its ceiling (Henry's Law), and no further.25:00 - Quick recap of why pH has to rise.  CO2 determines pH, and CO2 has to off-gas to equalize with CO2 above the water (Henry's Law). 29:58 - Stop thinking of pH as something you can control. Focus on keeping the LSI balanced by containing pH.31:00 - Recap. Focus on proper sanitization (FC:CYA) and your LSI.
