More from Rule Your Pool
Eric takes a question from a customer who emailed in, regarding disappearing CYA and chlorine in a covered pool. The suspicion is that some sort of bacteria could be breaking down CYA, and indeed, that is plausible. If that's the case, Eric discusses what to do.
Jared Stanley, a pool service pro in Florida, joins the show to discuss his field experiments with forcing calcium out of solution using soda ash as a means of reducing calcium hardness. How do his results compare to the scientific research?
Jarred makes his return to the co-host mic, as we talk about the changes in the industry and what we've learned since starting Rule Your Pool.
