Send us a text 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 📧 Email us: [email protected] 💙 Thank you to our trusted sponsors: https://www.thedeependpoolpodcast.com 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more! 📧 Questions or topic ideas?
