Send us Fan MailThis week on Floc-It Friday, Rudy Stankowitz takes aim at one of the most misunderstood concepts in pool chemistry: pH drift. If you've ever been told that pH "just goes up," Rudy has news for you. Water doesn't drift. Chemistry doesn't shrug. And carbon dioxide may be controlling your pool far more than you've been taught. Before diving into chemistry, Rudy opens with a satirical pool industry news segment covering algae in Washington's Reflecting Pool, Leslie's recent financial improvements, private equity acquisitions, above-ground pool recalls, and the growing obsession with smart pool equipment. Topics CoveredBreaking News from the Pool WorldA tongue-in-cheek look at: Algae growth in the Reflecting Pool near the National Mall "Operation Green Freedom" and a fictional crop-duster copper sulfate deployment Leslie's reporting improved sales and customer activity Ongoing consolidation of pool service companies through private equity acquisitions Above-ground pool recalls making national headlines The industry's growing fascination with app-connected heat pumps and automation Why "pH Drift" Is a Bad ExplanationRudy challenges one of the industry's most common phrases.Water does not mysteriously "drift."When pH changes, chemistry is causing it.This episode explains why saying pH drift is often an observation rather than an explanation and why understanding the underlying chemistry matters. The Pool Is BreathingOne of the most important concepts discussed:Your swimming pool is continuously exchanging gases with the atmosphere.Topics include: Gas exchange at the air-water interface Chemical equilibrium Carbon dioxide movement Why pools are dynamic systems rather than static containers of water How atmospheric chemistry influences water chemistry every second of every day Carbon Dioxide: The Hidden Driver of pH RiseMost pool professionals focus on chlorine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and acid additions.Rudy explains why carbon dioxide deserves far more attention.Learn about: Carbon dioxide dissolution Carbonic acid formation The carbonate buffering system Why carbon dioxide leaving the water causes pH to rise The relationship between carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, and carbonate chemistry Eric Knight's Brilliant Cyanurate-Alkalinity ExplanationReferencing the June 3rd episode of Rule Your Pool, Rudy revisits Eric Knight's explanation of why cyanurate alkalinity is treated differently depending on the calculation being performed.Discussion includes: Why cyanurate contributes to total alkalinity How muriatic acid protonates cyanurate ions The difference between cyanurate ions and cyanuric acid Why total alkalinity and carbonate alkalinity are not interchangeable When to use carbonate alkalinity for LSI calculations Why total alkalinity is still used for acid demand calculations Does pH Still Matter When CYA Is Present?A detailed review of: The FC/CYA relationship Hypochlorous acid concentration The effects of pH on sanitizer strength Why maintaining the proper chlorine-to-CYA ratio matters Pathogen kill times at different pH levels Giardia and leptospira examples demonstrating how pH can still influence disinfection performance Total Alkalinity Is Not a ChemicalOne of the central lessons of the episode:Total alkalinity is a measurement, not a substance.Topics include: Buffering capacity Acid neutralizing capacity Carbonate and bicarbonate systems Why alkalinity gets blamed for everything The difference between cause and effect in water chemistry Le Chatelier's Principle and Pool ChemistryRudy breaks down one of chemistry's most important concepts into practical pool language.Learn: What happens when equilibrium is disturbed How the carbonate system responds to carbon dioxide loss Why hydrogen ion concentration changes The actual mechanism behind rising pH Why Waterfalls, Spas, Bubblers, and Deck Jets Raise pHIf your backyard resembles a miniature Bellagio, this section is for you.Topics include: Aeration and turbulence Increased gas exchange Carbon dioxide stripping Why decorative water features often accelerate pH rise Understanding the relationship between aeration and water balance Salt Systems and pH RiseA common misconception is addressed:Salt systems do not create pH.Instead, they create conditions that accelerate carbon dioxide loss.Discussion includes: Hydrogen gas production Increased turbulence Gas transfer dynamics Why salt pools often experience persistent pH rise Acid and Aeration: The Ultimate DemonstrationRudy explains why the classic acid-and-aeration method for lowering total alkalinity proves that carbon dioxide—not alkalinity—is driving pH rise.A practical chemistry lesson every service technician should understand. Key Takeaways pH does not mysteriously drift. Carbon dioxide is often the real driver of pH rise. Total alkalinity is a measurement, not a chemical. Aeration accelerates carbon dioxide loss. Salt systems indirectly contribute to rising pH by increasing gas exchange. Understanding equilibrium makes pool chemistry easier to predict. Once you understand carbon dioxide, many long-standing pool chemistry mysteries disappear. Support the showThank you so much for listening!

In This Episode: Twist & Shout – Aeration Tech to Tell All Your Friends About
#725 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/725 Presented By: Grand Teton Fly Fishing, FishHound Expeditions, Heated Core In part one of How Lakes Work, Brian and Phil explained lake classification and the key zones we should focus on. In part two, we'll explore how lakes change throughout the seasons. Brian will break down what happens each season, how it impacts fish behavior, and where you should be fishing. Understanding these will help you know where to fish and when. The Seasons of a Lake: How They Impact Fishing Fall 06:15 - As temperatures drop, lakes go through fall turnover. This happens when surface water cools to match the temperature of deeper water. Wind aids in mixing the lake from top to bottom, spreading oxygen. The mixing stirs up debris and gases like methane. This makes conditions less ideal for fish. Fall happens in three stages: early, mid, and late. As the water gets colder, fish move into shallower areas to feed. In early fall, they stay in deeper water (15 -18 feet). By mid-fall, they move up to 10-12 feet. In late fall, they're in the shallows (5 -7 feet). https://www.youtube.com/live/pid95BqAhwY?si=i2Lb2in7OPFebdj1 How Often Do Lakes Turn Over? Lake turnover only occurs in the fall and spring, when water temperatures even out from top to bottom. But not all lakes turn over. Sometimes, lakes look murky for other reasons, like the wind stirring up sediment or the rain washing in dirty water. Brian says shallow lakes mix all year and never fully stratify. Winter 14:04 - In winter, oxygen levels drop upward from the bottom of the lake due to anaerobic decomposition occurring at the bottom. All the plants that grew during the open water season start dying since they can't photosynthesize. As they decay, they use up oxygen from the water. What causes winter kill? 17:08 - Winter kill could happen early, mid-winter, or even days before the ice comes off. As winter goes on, the oxygen-poor zone in the lake keeps growing until it reaches just below the ice. When there's not enough oxygen left, fish suffocate and die. Some lakes lose 100% of their fish, while others have partial kills where bigger fish die first. In some cases, fish survive by finding oxygen-rich spots, like areas with underground springs. Lake Aeration 19:52 - Aeration is a tool to try to prevent a winter kill, but it is not a hundred percent guarantee of bringing a lake through. To aerate a lake, it needs to be at least 25 to 30 feet in depth. There are different types of aeration: Surface-mounted aerators are the simplest type with a submersible pump hanging under a float. The pump is two to three feet below the surface, and the propeller is pulling water up to the surface and then spraying it up, so there's an exchange of oxygen that's being brought up. Surface aerators are relatively inexpensive but don't always guarantee the lake will be saved. Another typical aeration technology is to pump air from a compressor on land through some rubber hose to a diffuser anchored below a big float. The air from the hose is pushed through a micro-pored ceramic diffuser. As the tiny bubbles rise, they create a current and add oxygen to the water. Aeration is more of a last-resort effort to slow down lakes' natural aging process, known as eutrophication. Spring 26:26 - When the ice melts off a lake, the water doesn't mix right away. The top layer is colder, while the deeper water is warmer because of plant decay over winter. Fish stay near the surface, just like they did under the ice. The surface warms over the next few weeks until it matches the bottom temperature. Then, a strong wind can mix everything up in a process called spring turnover. Summer 34:55 - In summer, lakes form a barrier called the thermocline. This is where warm water meets cold water, usually around 5 to 8 meters deep. Wind can't mix the water below it, so oxygen levels drop in deeper areas. Trouts stay just above the thermocline, where the water is cool and has enough oxygen.

Jonathan Ellsworth's preferences for red wines over white wines are well established. But in this conversation and wine tasting, we're going to see if Eli can change Jonathan's mind.This past weekend, Jonathan and Eli opened four bottles of white wines and hit the record button. We tried a few different white varietals and blends that Eli believes may appeal to those staunchly in the red-wine camp to see if we can get Jonathan more interested in what certain white wines have to offer.We've also included links to the four wines we tasted if you'd like to try any of these for yourself.RELATED LINKS:Check out the Blister Craft CollectiveBecome a BLISTER+ MemberThe Wines We're Tasting:Poet's Leap RieslingK Vintners ViognierKiki and Juan Orange WineDaniel-Etienne Defaix ChablisTOPICS & TIMES:The White Wine Experience (3:36)JE''s Bottle of White He Likes?

I've always thought about creating the Greatest Hits (or Greatest Myths) for gardeners. There are so many things you should and shouldn't do when gardening and creating compost. Starting a compost system: Do we really need a “Compost Starter” to kick it off? The easiest way to make compost is by sticking (roughly) to a ratio of Carbon to Nitrogen of something like 30:1. If you chuck a big heap of chipped wood (C) in the bin, you will need some grass clippings (N) to fire it all off. Even a simple pee on the heap will do the trick, or some Urea fertiliser, or even some old soggy lettuce. Crushed egg shells around your vegetables are said to stop the slugs and snails as they won't be able to cross the sharp egg-edges with their soft and tender “foot”. Molluscs do not actually come in contact with the sharp substrate as they glide over the slime they produce themselves! And if you put the crushed shells into the compost bin, the calcium will eventually turn into useful calcium – eventually means “a few years later at least”, so don't bank on a quick-release fertiliser! Besides: they don't really add a lot of value to your compost. Ah! To speed up composting waste material, do we need to turn the heap every now and then? Good question! Aeration will indeed help the process a bit… but so do mice and rats digging tunnels for their nests. Perhaps the question should be: how much time do you, personally, have to “turn” the compost? Every 3 or 4 weeks. Cooked food in the compost bin? Why not? It's basically the same as un-cooked food, so why chuck it in the rubbish bin? Dead Animals or left-over meat in the compost bin? Everything that once lived is compostable – simple as that. Animals and old meat will take longer and it might start to smell somewhat, but it certainly will compost. Can weeds be composted? Of course! Weeds are simply plants too and when you pull them out, they will decay and form compost, just like any other organism, but should you? That depends on the kind of weed it is and if it has set seeds or survives on a vigorous root-system. How fast can you make compost? Depends on what you make it from; You'll need C and N plus support from fungal organisms and microbial life-forms. In general, it'll go quicker when you are in a warm part of the world and slower in a cool area. Here's another bit of science: a compost tumbler is usually quite a bit smaller than a wooden compost bin, sitting on the soil. That means the tumbler won't heat up as much (or at all!) as the larger bin and that may slow the process down – but it certainly will work albeit not so fast. What can we Learn FROM Nature making its own compost? Leaves fall down; twigs and sticks break off and join the leaves.
