Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Allergic to Chlorine? A Microbiology Lesson (w/ Roy Vore, Ph.D.)
Q: How should operators think about breakpoint chlorination and testing?
Breakpoint is a concept to oxidize combined chlorine; however, the exact amount needed varies by compound and conditions, and practical guidance emphasizes overall safe water balance and multiple treatment options rather than a single fixed number.
Allergic to Chlorine? A Microbiology Lesson (w/ Roy Vore, Ph.D.)
Q: What causes Swimmer's Ear, and is it contagious?
Swimmer's Ear is usually caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and is not contagious; it results from bacterial infection in the ear when water remains trapped and can be exacerbated by environmental factors.
Personalized Pool Chemistry (w/ Keegan Rivera)
Q: Why are you on here? Talk to me.
Keegan explains that he has been working on enhancing the Orenda system and filling a gap where homeowners and DIY pool owners can achieve professional-level water clarity without becoming full-time chemists, by using a questionnaire and automation based on pool-specific inputs.
Tile Mastery (w/ Jimmy Reed)
Q: What can attendees expect in the two-day tile school?
Attendees can expect hands-on opportunities and learning about mixing materials, applying tiles, and grouting among other details.
