A black stain shows up on the pool floor right after you add cal-hypo and your brain jumps straight to “drain it and acid wash.” We slow that moment down and explain what's usually happening: copper that was already there, hiding as copper sulfate, getting oxidized by chlorine into black copper oxide. Once you understand that chemistry, you stop chasing the symptom and start fixing the cause. We also get practical about what actually works in pool stain removal and metal control. Ascorbic acid can lift a stain, but it doesn't remove copper from the water, which is why stains can come roaring back after you chlorinate. We talk through the real role of sequestrants and chelating agents, why they break down from photodegradation and oxidizers like chlorine, non-chlorine shock, UV, ozone, and AOP, and why following the dosing label is the difference between control and repeat stains. If you want a longer-term solution, we cover metal removal options like Q-Lator setups and the blunt but effective drain-and-refill approach, plus better cal-hypo handling so it dissolves instead of sitting on the surface. Then we shift into two “easy to ignore” problems that turn expensive fast: algae and zero chlorine. Algae multiplies by cell division, builds a protective polysaccharide layer, and punishes anyone who waits a week to respond. And when a pool has no chlorine residual, the risk isn't just cloudy water, it's bather-to-bather disease transmission. You'll even hear a simple post-swim warm shower tip to reduce exposure when you're not sure about water quality. Subscribe, share this with a pool pro or homeowner, and leave a review if it helped you prevent the next stain or outbreak.A bag of cal-hypo can “create” a black stain in seconds, but the real problem is usually hidden copper that oxidizes into black copper oxide. We break down how to remove metals for the long haul, why algae gets out of hand fast, and why a chlorine residual is the only real shield against bather-to-bather disease transmission.  • copper sulfate stains hiding in blue water, then turning black when shocked  • ascorbic acid lifting stains but leaving metals behind  • sequestrants and chelating agents binding metals, then degrading from sunlight and oxidizers  • removing metals with Q-Lator options or by draining and refilling  • preventing cal-hypo from sitting on the pool floor by pre-dissolving and dispersing  • algae multiplying fast, forming a polysaccharide shield, and why brushing matters  • why swimming with zero chlorine raises disease risk and what a warm shower can do after  Learn more at swimming poollearning.com.  If you have the coaching program that offer you can learn more at poolcoaching.com.  Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Borates get talked about like they're a cure-all for pool problems, but that belief is exactly what gets pool owners and pool pros into trouble. We sit down with industry veteran Bob Lowry to separate hype from real pool water chemistry, and to explain what borates actually do when you add them to a swimming pool. If you're chasing constant pH rise, fighting recurring algae, or trying to make a saltwater chlorine generator pool easier to manage, this conversation will give you a clearer, calmer plan.We dig into the non-negotiables first: chlorine still has to be maintained correctly, and cyanuric acid (CYA) still has to be in a sensible range so chlorine isn't getting crushed by sunlight. Bob explains why low CYA can backfire, why minimum chlorine matters, and how testing accuracy plays into real-world decisions. From there, we tackle the pH buffering tradeoff that surprises people most: borates can slow how fast pH climbs, but once pH finally gets high, it can take significantly more acid to pull it back down, which is why balance before you add.We also get practical about products and process. Bob walks through why boric acid is the preferred borate source for most pools, how borax-based products can spike pH and total alkalinity, and how that swing can push LSI positive and cloud a pool by dropping calcium out of solution. You'll hear realistic target ranges like 50 ppm borates, when some pros go higher in salt pools, plus what to do when borate testing options are limited and you need to rely on dosing math. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a pool pro friend, and leave us a quick review so more people can find the show.We get real about what borates can and can't do for your pool, and why “add borates and forget it” is the fastest way to get disappointed. We also break down the chemistry details that actually make borates useful, from pH buffering tradeoffs to the right borate level for saltwater pools.• Borates as a helpful tool, not a magic bullet• Why chlorine level still needs to track CYA and stay above minimums• How borates slow pH rise but can require more acid later• Why pH and alkalinity should be in range before adding borates• Boric acid vs borax products and why borax can spike pH• How cloudy water can happen from LSI and calcium precipitation• Practical borate targets like 50 ppm and when 70 ppm can make sense• Why saltwater chlorine generator pools often do better with higher CYA• Testing options for borates and when dosing math is the workaround• Why borates usually only drop with water loss and need small rechargesLearn more at SwimmingPoolLearning.com  If you're interested in the coaching program there, can learn more at PoolGuyCoaching.comSend us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Chlorine tablets can feel like the simplest path to a clean pool, until the water starts fighting back. We dig into what really happens when trichlor becomes the main sanitizer: cyanuric acid (CYA) climbs, chlorine gets “slower,” and algae can show up even when your test kit says the free chlorine looks fine. We walk through the practical chemistry behind it, including why CYA is more than just “sun protection” and how a rising stabilizer level changes what a safe chlorine target should be.We also share a clear rule of thumb for pool care that helps service techs and homeowners stop guessing: aim for free chlorine at roughly 5% of your cyanuric acid level (often described as a 20:1 CYA-to-chlorine relationship). That simple ratio explains why a pool that was stable at 50 ppm CYA can suddenly struggle at 100 ppm CYA unless chlorine targets rise. Along the way, we talk about balancing side effects, like trichlor's acidity pushing pH and alkalinity down, plus how high CYA can complicate total alkalinity readings when you're trying to keep water steady week to week.Then we switch to the safety side of pool maintenance, because the risks are real. If you ever consider swapping trichlor tablets for cal hypo tablets, you need to hear this: mixing them, especially inside a feeder with a little water present, can trigger heat, toxic gas, and an explosion. We also cover gassing buckets, feeder blowback, and storage habits that reduce exposure to dangerous fumes.If you want fewer chemistry surprises and a more stable pool plan, listen through to the end, then subscribe, share this with a pool owner or tech, and leave a review so more people handle pool chemicals safely.We break down why trichlor tablets can quietly destabilize pool chemistry, especially as cyanuric acid rises and chlorine becomes less effective. We also get blunt about real-world safety hazards, including gassing buckets and the explosion risk when cal hypo and trichlor are mixed.  • trichlor as a workable sanitizer that becomes risky as a sole source  • cyanuric acid buildup slowing chlorine and allowing algae despite “good” readings  • using a chlorine-to-CYA target around 5% to keep water safe  • higher CYA forcing higher chlorine targets and creating a runaway cycle  • trichlor acidity driving pH and alkalinity down over time  • subtracting a portion of CYA from total alkalinity to estimate carbonate alkalinity  • cal hypo and trichlor mixing dangers including explosions and fire  • handling and storage safety for tablets, feeders, and buckets to avoid gas exposure  • why long-term success looks like stable weekly chemistry, not constant correction  Join the Fool Guy Coaching Program.

“99% trichlor” sounds like a mic-drop statistic, but it's also one of the most persistent sources of confusion in pool care. We sit down with Bob Lowry to untangle what that number actually means, why “purity” is not the same thing as “chlorine strength,” and how the industry's use of available chlorine (based on a chlorine gas reference) warps the way products get talked about on the truck and at the counter.We walk through the real chemistry behind the label: what free chlorine is doing in the water, why the comparison standard matters, and how trichlor's makeup includes cyanuric acid that builds over time. If you've ever heard someone say liquid chlorine is “weaker” or tablets are “the strongest,” this conversation gives you the language and logic to explain the difference clearly to clients and techs without hand-waving.Then we pivot to cal-hypo, especially the idea that it “doesn't add much calcium.” Bob breaks it down in practical terms you can use in the field: if you add cal-hypo to raise free chlorine, you are also raising calcium hardness in a predictable way, and that matters a lot in hard-water regions. We also compare how different percentages of available chlorine change dosing, why some cal-hypo tablets can require much more product than trichlor, and how to think about true cost per usable chlorine. You'll also hear where to find Bob's resources (pci.org and pccti.online) and how we can help you level up your pool service business.Subscribe for more pool chemistry myth-busting, share this with a tech who still quotes the “99%” line, and leave a review with the biggest pool maintenance myth you want us to tackle next.We revisit a classic pool chemistry myth with Bob Lowry and unpack why “99% trichlor” does not mean you are getting 99% chlorine in your pool water. We also run the numbers on cal-hypo side effects so you can predict calcium hardness rise over time instead of getting surprised by scaling later.  • why “99%” on trichlor labels refers to purity, not chlorine content  • how “available chlorine” is a comparison standard tied to chlorine gas  • what actually gets added when you use trichlor, including cyanuric acid  • why cal-hypo steadily raises calcium hardness and how to estimate it with ppm math  • how different cal-hypo strengths and tablet percentages change dosing and cost  • a simple spreadsheet method to compare true cost per equivalent chlorine  • where to find Bob Lowry's resources and tech bulletins online  Are you a pool service pro looking to take your business to the next level?

Copper sounds like the perfect pool hack: add a “mineral system,” fight algae, and use less chlorine. The reality is more complicated, and that gap between marketing and chemistry is where stains, green hair, and unsafe water conditions show up. We're joined by industry legend Bob Lowry, whose voice and teaching still carry weight across the pool industry, to give a clear-eyed answer to the question pool owners ask every year: is copper safe to use in a swimming pool?We talk through how copper ionizers and mineral technology products work, what copper actually does well (algae control, some bacteria suppression), and why the “copper replaces chlorine” idea breaks down. A big theme is oxidation: copper doesn't burn off sunscreen, sweat, and other bather waste, so the pool still needs an oxidizer, and chlorine remains the most practical tool for that job. We also dig into real-world safety, including bather-to-bather disease transmission and why copper is too slow to be your primary sanitizer, plus what the EPA requires when ionizers are used.Then we get hands-on with the problems people see most: copper staining on plaster and the green-hair myth. We explain how copper gets into the water (including trichlor tabs in skimmers attacking copper equipment), how sequestrants degrade over time, and a smarter “one-two punch” for stain treatment using ascorbic or citric acid alongside products that actually remove metals from the water. If you want fewer surprises and better pool water chemistry, subscribe, share this with a pool owner who loves shortcuts, and leave a review telling us what copper problem you've run into most.We sit down with industry legend Bob Lowry and get honest about copper in pool water, from mineral systems to copper algaecides, and why the chemistry can turn on you fast. We break down what copper is good at, what it cannot do, and how to fix copper staining without draining the pool.  • copper mineral systems and how they add copper to the water  • copper's algae control benefits and why the effective level is close to the staining level  • why copper does not oxidize bather waste like sunscreen, sweat, and urine  • bather-to-bather disease transmission and why copper is not fast enough  • the EPA position on ionizers requiring chlorine alongside them  • the real cause of green hair and why chlorine is not to blame  • copper algaecides, built-in sequestrants, and how chlorine and sunlight degrade them  • a chlorine-first approach to killing algae and why it is cheaper and simpler  • stain removal without draining using ascorbic or citric acid plus metal removal bags  • tracking the metal source including tabs in skimmers, incoming water, equipment, water velocity, and new surfaces with iron  Are you a pool service pro looking to take your business to the next level?

Lowry played a complementary role (at least offensively) to Randy Foye and Allen Ray in Jay Wright's backcourt rotation, and while many have claimed that their presence was the only thing keeping Lowry from exploding into full-fledged stardom, they also unquestionably made things easier for him…Beyond this, Lowry's biggest question mark at this point may be a suspect perimeter jumper…There are also size issues. -https://www.draftexpress.com/article/Kyle-Lowry-NBA-Draft-Scouting-Report-2870/

Algae every week even though the test kit shows plenty of chlorine? That headache usually isn't bad luck, it's bad math. We dig into the most common rookie mistakes new pool service pros make and show the chemistry behind why a pool can read “sanitized” while algae still wins. The big unlock is understanding cyanuric acid (CYA) and how it binds most of the chlorine in the water, leaving only a small active portion available to kill algae. From there, we make the fix practical: stop guessing and start targeting free chlorine based on your stabilizer level. We walk through the easy field rule that free chlorine should sit around 7.5% of CYA, plus how adding borates at about 50 ppm can lower that requirement to roughly 5% in many pools. If you're servicing trichlor pools with high CYA, this framework explains exactly why “6 ppm is high” can still be nowhere near enough. We also shift from pure chemistry to water balance and operations. We talk about the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), what it's designed to predict (scale forming vs corrosive water), and why “balanced” isn't the same as “stable” when alkalinity and pH are constantly drifting. Then we hit a nuts-and-bolts issue that ruins otherwise good chemistry: filtration runtime. We explain turnovers, why one turnover only filters about 65%, why three turnovers is a smart target, and how low circulation creates dead zones where algae can grow. If you want to tighten up your pool maintenance results, reduce call-backs, and run a more predictable pool service business, listen through and take notes.

Your pool can look fine on paper and still be losing the chlorine battle. We dig into the frustrating “problem pool” scenario where you're pouring in gallons of chlorine and the free chlorine (FC) reading barely budges, then break down what's really happening when chlorine gets consumed faster than you can add it. With Bob Larry's help, we walk through how to think like a detective: look at the environment, the deck, landscaping, runoff, bather load, and even the odd stuff people don't mention like rinsing tools or chemicals in the pool. From there, we get practical about chlorine demand, including the idea of negative chlorine demand where your first big doses are basically paying off a hidden deficit. We talk through a proven cleanup strategy: raise FC to a strong level and keep it there for 24 to 48 hours so the pool actually finishes oxidizing contaminants and knocking out algae, instead of slipping back into the same cycle. We also touch on an underrated cost saver for commercial pools and busy backyards: getting swimmers to rinse off first can dramatically reduce what chlorine has to burn through. Finally, we tackle the classic complaint: “My chlorine is 3 to 5 ppm but algae keeps coming back.” The missing link is cyanuric acid (CYA) and how it changes chlorine effectiveness. We explain the 7.5% of CYA rule for setting a reliable free chlorine target that prevents algae, plus why consistency between service visits matters so much in warm, sunny conditions. If this helped, subscribe, share the episode with a pool owner or tech, and leave a review so more people can stop wasting chlorine and start keeping water clear.We troubleshoot the pool that burns through chlorine and still reads near zero, using a detective mindset to track down hidden sources of chlorine demand. We also explain why “normal” free chlorine targets can still allow algae, then land on a practical CYA-based chlorine rule that keeps pools clear.  • identifying real-world chlorine killers like yard debris, runoff, deck wash water, and heavy bather load  • spotting sneaky contamination from cleaners, solvents, and tool rinsing  • understanding early algae growth, biofilm, and why algae is mature when you finally see it  • recognizing negative chlorine demand when big doses barely move the test result  • holding a high chlorine level for 24 to 48 hours to fully oxidize organics and kill algae  • reducing chlorine usage by having swimmers rinse off before getting in  • using the 7.5% of CYA free chlorine target to prevent algae  • keeping free chlorine consistent between service days to avoid fast blooms  Join the Pool Guy Coaching Program.

If you've ever stared at a “perfect” test strip while the pool still acts weird, you're probably missing one of the quietest drivers in pool water chemistry: TDS. We dig into what Total Dissolved Solids actually means, why a simple digital meter belongs on every service truck, and how TDS can swing your saturation index enough to change your real-world results. Along the way, we unpack the old-school truth behind TDS, what the meter is really reading (conductivity), and why it is still a valuable approximation for everyday pool maintenance decisions.We also get specific about what's building up in the water over time. Chlorine doesn't just disappear, it becomes chloride. Many of the products you add carry sodium, and those ions stay behind. That matters even more in a saltwater pool, where you might be running 3,000 to 3,400 ppm salt before you count everything else. We talk through why a 5,000 to 6,000 ppm TDS reading can be normal with a generator running, but can turn into a chemistry headache when the cell is off and the salt is just along for the ride.One of the biggest takeaways is a myth-buster: the saturation index can describe scale forming or plaster corrosivity, but it does not predict metal corrosion. Real corrosion shows up in places you can see, like salt splash-out that dries into concentrated salt on decks and equipment, or motors and hardware that fail even when the index looks “fine.” We also cover when high TDS is a drain-and-dilute conversation in non-salt pools (about 1,500 ppm over starting), plus the tricky world of color bodies, organic staining, and why chlorine alone sometimes cannot fix yellow or tinted water.If you want fewer mystery problems and faster diagnoses, subscribe, share this with a pool pro friend, and leave a review so more techs start testing what actually builds up over time.We break down what TDS really measures, why it affects the saturation index, and why so many pool pros still ignore it. We also clear up a costly myth: “balanced” water can still corrode metal, especially around saltwater pools.  • why TDS testing fell out of routine pool service and why it matters  • what a TDS meter actually measures through conductivity and why it is an approximation  • what builds TDS over time, especially chloride and sodium from common pool chemicals  • how saltwater pools push TDS higher and what happens when the generator is off  • why the saturation index describes plaster risk, not metal corrosion risk  • real-world clues of high TDS such as brackish taste, stubborn color, and “can't fix it” water  • how color bodies and organics can stain plastics and cleaners and resist chlorine  If you're looking for other podcasts, just go to my website, swimming for learning.com.

Early tropical activity can create a lot of noise. A June storm near land may grab headlines, raise anxiety and spark big seasonal questions: Is this a sign of an active year? Does an early storm mean the season is ahead of schedule? Or is it just one weather event in a much larger climate pattern?On this episode of HurricaneCenter, Michael Lowry joins the program to help answer those questions. Lowry brings a rare combination of tropical forecasting, storm surge, broadcast and emergency management experience. He currently serves as Hurricane Specialist and Storm Surge Expert at WPLG-TV Miami, and his background includes work with the National Hurricane Center, The Weather Channel, FEMA and emergency management.The conversation centers on the difference between short-term tropical weather and longer-season signals. Early storms can be important, especially when they produce flooding, coastal water issues, gusty winds or public confusion. But they do not always say much about what the peak of the season will bring. Lowry helps frame what forecasters look for instead: large-scale steering patterns, ocean heat, vertical wind shear, moisture, pressure patterns and where storms are forming.The episode also explores communication. Early-season systems can be messy, sheared, lopsided or close to land. Those storms may not look impressive on satellite, but they can still produce meaningful local impacts. That is where clear messaging matters: rainfall, storm surge, coastal flooding and power interruptions can occur even when a storm is not a classic major hurricane.This is a useful episode for weather professionals, emergency managers, coastal residents and anyone trying to understand how to read the tropics without overreacting to every early-season development.Key TakeawaysEarly storms do not automatically define the rest of hurricane season.A named storm can be impactful even if it is weak, sheared or poorly organized.The best seasonal clues often come from large-scale patterns, not a single storm.Storm surge and rainfall risk can be more important than category or appearance.Communication matters most when the atmosphere produces messy, borderline systems.The public should prepare for the season as a whole, not just react to the first storm.Support the showSuggest a topic or ask a question: alex@wxguide.comVisit our conference site: www.hurricanecenterlive.comThanks for listening and please share with your friends and co-workers.

Today we're talking about a man who had the spirit of an wild west outlaw who just happened to be trapped in North Carolina. He had the unfortunate luck of being born in the state while being of a darker persuasion. He faced a lot of persecution before, during, and after the Civil War, and he knew just how to respond, with a gun. Also he had a cool ass wife, you'll see what I mean. Enjoy!

Your pool water can look “chlorinated” on a test and still be unsafe or algae-prone. The missing piece is cyanuric acid (CYA), the pool stabilizer that quietly binds most of your chlorine and changes how much active sanitizer you actually have working for you. We sit down with Bob Lowry, inventor of liquid pool conditioner, to get brutally clear on why high CYA is a real problem and how to fix it without guessing. We dig into what cyanuric acid really does beyond UV protection, how the chlorine to CYA equilibrium works, and why the same free chlorine reading can mean totally different sanitizing power depending on your stabilizer level. Bob lays out an easy operating rule for pool maintenance: target free chlorine as a percentage of CYA, with different guidance depending on whether you use borates. If you've ever fought recurring algae, this is the chemistry that explains why. We also connect the dots to the most common cause of runaway stabilizer: trichlor tabs. When CYA rises week after week, the required chlorine level rises with it, creating a vicious cycle that catches a lot of pools in midsummer. We cover practical ways to transition to liquid chlorine, plus simple feeding options that keep levels steady between service visits. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a pool owner who keeps battling algae, and leave a review. What's your current CYA level and how are you chlorinating right now?We break down why high cyanuric acid quietly weakens chlorine and forces you into higher and higher dosing just to prevent algae. Bob Lowry explains the real stabilizer to chlorine relationship, plus simple target ranges and practical ways to stop CYA from spiraling out of control.  • why cyanuric acid does more than block sunlight  • how CYA binds chlorine and slows sanitizing action  • the 7.5% of CYA chlorine target without borates  • the 5% of CYA chlorine target with borates  • recommended CYA ranges for outdoor pools and saltwater chlorine generators  • why trichlor tabs raise CYA and create a vicious cycle  • switching to liquid chlorine and options for midweek dosing  Are you a full service pro looking to take your business to the next level?

Your pool pH isn't “random” or “stubborn” and once you understand what's actually driving the rise, you can finally stop the endless acid cycle. We dig into the real reason pH climbs week after week: CO2 off gassing. Total alkalinity controls how much carbon dioxide wants to escape, and when alkalinity is too high, the water is essentially overcarbonated. As CO2 leaves the water to reach equilibrium with the air, pH rises, and the problem repeats.We also get honest about the pools that fight you the hardest: feature pools with negative edges, spillways, waterfalls, scuppers, rock cascades, spa jets, and blowers. All that aeration and turbulence accelerates CO2 loss, which means faster pH drift no matter how “perfect” your numbers look on paper. You'll hear a simple spa-style experiment that makes the aeration effect impossible to ignore, plus the hard truth that some extreme designs may require a CO2 injection system if you want truly stable pH.Saltwater chlorine generator pools add their own twist. We explain how SWGs raise pH through hydroxide production and continuous aeration inside the cell, then talk through practical ways to reduce generator runtime by cutting chlorine demand. That leads into borates, cyanuric acid strategy, and why dialing in free chlorine as a percentage of CYA can work better than a one-size-fits-all target. We also clear up a long-running pool chemistry myth: liquid chlorine and calcium hypochlorite don't create a lasting pH rise after chlorine is consumed.If you want fewer corrections, steadier readings, and a repeatable method for controlling rising pool pH, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a pool owner or pool pro who's fighting pH, and leave a review with your biggest pH question.We break down why pool pH keeps rising and why the real driver is often CO2 off gassing tied to total alkalinity and aeration. We share practical targets and field-tested fixes for salt pools, feature pools, and new plaster so you can stop chasing pH every week.  • total alkalinity controlling CO2 off gassing and pH drift  • why high TA makes pH rise faster and more often  • setting realistic TA targets and lowering TA to stabilize pH  • how waterfalls, spillways, negative edges, jets, and turbulence push pH up  • when a CO2 injector becomes the only realistic path  • saltwater chlorine generator effects including hydroxide production and aeration in the cell  • using borates to reduce chlorine demand and slow pH rise  • balancing cyanuric acid and free chlorine as a percentage strategy  • plaster hydration in new pools raising pH for months  • why liquid chlorine and cal hypo do not cause lasting pH rise after chlorine is spent  Learn more at SwimmingPoollearning.com.  If you're interested in the coaching program, you can learn more at pullguycoaching.com.  Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

After the Fire! // Jason Lowry // Post Falls Campus by The Heart

Hamilton County Democratic Chair Josh Lowry talks about building the local organization, the upcoming state convention, voting centers, upcoming November elections and much more in this podcast episode.

Kate Lowry was fresh out of college and working at McKinsey when she saw a colleague do something she believed was seriously wrong -- something that could constitute blackmail, with another employee's ability to stay in the country hanging in the balance. Her instinct was immediate and absolute: this is wrong, and I'm going to tell everyone. She reported it and criticized the person sharply in reviews. Episode page for video, links, and more It backfired. She got marked down for not being a "team player" and carried that mark on her record for the rest of her time at the firm. The lesson Kate draws isn't that she should have stayed silent. It's that good intentions and zeal are not the same as effective action. The best ways to help people, she found, are often more sophisticated -- and when you're up against sophisticated actors who hold power over you, you need to bring equal sophistication. Kate is a CEO coach, venture capitalist, and author of Unbreakable: How to Thrive Under Fear-Based Leaders. In this episode, she and host Mark Graban get into the difference between high standards and fear-based leadership, why psychological safety is about mutual trust rather than comfort, and how the quiet, "West Coast nice" version of fear-based leadership is harder to spot than the cartoonish yelling kind. Kate also explains her concept of reading a leader's "emotional age" to predict their behavior, and offers practical tactics for anyone stuck under a leader who rules through fear.

May 27, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 141 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing how excited we are to hear from several of the Pittsburgh Steelers' coaches on Wednesday afternoon as part of the team resuming their OTA practices this week. The Steelers re-signed DL Dean Lowry to a one-year contract on Tuesday, so Alex and I address that transaction and what it means for the defensive line depth chart moving forward into the offseason. On the heels of the Steelers restructuring the contract of TE Pat Freiermuth recently, Alex and I go over all the details related to that transaction. We also discuss the team's current salary cap situation as of Tuesday morning and why the team might need to restructure the contract of at least one more veteran player before the 2026 regular season gets underway. The finer details related to the four-year contract extension that K Chris Boswell recently signed have now surfaced, so with that, Alex and I address the known numbers and the impact of that deal on 2026 and future years. Recently, Steelers OG Mason McCormick was tabbed as the team's most underappreciated player by one media outlet, so we discuss if that is an accurate designation as he enters his third NFL season. Alex and I also address the possibility that McCormick could be in line for a very lucrative contract extension next offseason. How will new Steelers HC Mike McCarthy attack training camp this summer when it comes to him listening to the likes and dislikes of the veteran players under contract with the team? We dive into that question during this show. Alex and I end this show by discussing the current statis of college QB Brendan Sorsby and whether he'll ultimately be part of the annual supplemental draft. We talk about the plausibility and probability related to the Steelers possibly being interested in drafting Sorsby should he ultimately be eligible for that draft process. This 79-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we make sure to answer a few listener emails we have received to close out this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Photo: Marcia Lowry outside the federal courthouse in Anchorage on September 8, 2025. She was lead attorney in the class action lawsuit against the Alaska Office of Children’s Services. (Matt Faubion / Alaska Public Media) Judge Sharon Gleason dismissed a federal class-action lawsuit filed against the Alaska Office of Children's Services (OCS) Tuesday. The lawsuit was brought by a national nonprofit working for foster care reforms. Attorneys for the organization alleged Alaska foster children are at risk of harm because of systemic problems that violated federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and federal child welfare protections. They pointed to high caseloads for caseworkers and an inadequate hiring and training process. About two thirds of kids in out-of-home care in the state are Alaska Native, but Gleason wrote that the attorneys did not prove that any of the foster youth represented were actually harmed. Gleason also questioned the reliability of the evidence presented. Marcia Lowry is attorney and executive director of A Better Childhood, which brought the suit. She calls the dismissal “quite disappointing”. “We did do a trial that involved a lot of evidence that, I think, was largely undisputed about how high the caseloads are in Alaska, about the lack of placement resources for children, about the failure to basically make attempts to remedy that situation.” She says a lot of children in Alaska are not getting benefits they are entitled to under federal law. Lowry says A Better Childhood is not sure yet of its next steps but is considering an appeal. “We have seen dysfunctional child welfare systems really, really change and provide good services to kids, but we have seen that only as a result of litigation.” OCS declined an interview for this story. In a written statement they said they are pleased with the court's decision and the verdict is an opportunity for the office to continue advancing its work. This story was provided by Alaska Public Media's Rachel Cassandra The U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. (Photo: Gabriel Pietrorazio) The U.S. Supreme Court last week spent two hours hearing a landmark case that could upend birthright citizenship. A 19th century ruling on the citizenry of tribal members was at the heart of the Trump administration's defense. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has this report. This was the exchange during oral arguments when U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch pressed Solicitor General John Sauer, who presented the government's case. Sauer: “Yes, yes, so a tribal Indian for example gives up allegiance to…” Justice Gorsuch: “Are tribal members born today birthright citizens?” Sauer: “Uh, I think so – on our test, yes – if they're lawfully domiciled here. I have to think that through, but that's my reaction.” Gorsuch: “I'll take the yes, that's alright.” In an 1884 majority decision, the justices ruled John Elk, a Winnebago man living in Omaha, was not a U.S. citizen in spite of the 14th Amendment – codifying birthright citizenship. “My mother was probably not a United States citizen when she was born in 1923 in Oklahoma.” Bob Miller, who is Eastern Shawnee and with Arizona State University's Indian Legal Clinic, has been teaching this very precedent of Elk v. Wilkins for three decades now. “I disagree completely with the argument that that's analogous to undocumented immigrants and them having children here.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

“Salt pool, no chlorine” might be the most expensive misunderstanding in pool care. We walk through what a saltwater chlorine generator actually does, why it is literally making chlorine, and how that simple truth changes the way you test, dose, and explain water balance to customers. If you're a pool service professional or a hands-on pool owner, you'll leave with clearer language, better troubleshooting steps, and fewer surprises on Monday morning.We also get into the parts that sales sheets skip: salt splash-out that dries on decks and hardware, the corrosion that shows up when salt is over-added, and why bonding and grounding matter more once your pool becomes an ionic solution full of metals. Then we tackle the “flakes” problem and the myths that cling to it. We explain why flakes are usually calcium carbonate, how a hot cell after flow stops can trigger scale, and how a simple cool-down period plus a slightly negative LSI can reduce buildup. • saltwater systems generating chlorine through electrolysis, same sanitizer as liquid or dry chlorine• cell lifespan tied to total run hours, lowering output and run time when demand allows• manufacturer salt targets around 3,000 to 3,500 ppm and why over-salting creates new problems• salt splash-out leaving concentrated salt on decks and features, rinsing to prevent crust and damage• galvanic corrosion risks, black deposits near metals, bonding and grounding pool equipment• heater corrosion concerns and when a sacrificial zinc anode can help• dealing with a failed generator, draining and refilling to reduce salt and high TDS, removing the cell housing• verifying salt with an independent salt meter, not trusting onboard readings or a TDS meter alone• preventing flakes with a cool-down period before flow stops and managing LSI slightly negative• phosphate fears put in perspective, flakes usually calcium carbonate not calcium phosphate• fixed-output chlorine production, recovery time after bather load spikes, supplementing with liquid chlorine• “superchlorinate” misconceSend us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

“Liquid chlorine is weak” might be the most expensive pool myth on the internet. We dig into the real meaning of “available chlorine” and why the percentage on the label can mislead you when you compare liquid chlorine to trichlor tablets, dichlor, or cal hypo. With Bob Lowry guiding the chemistry, we translate confusing terms like weight percent and trade percent into something you can actually use: how much usable chlorine you're putting in the water.We also talk about the hidden part of every chlorine choice: the byproducts. Liquid chlorine ultimately adds salt, cal hypo adds calcium, and dichlor and trichlor add cyanuric acid, and each of those can create problems if you don't plan for buildup. If you've ever wondered why your pool chemistry “drifts” over time, this is the missing link between sanitizer choice and long-term water balance. Salt water chlorine generators get a full reality check too. A salt pool still uses chlorine because the cell makes chlorine gas that becomes hypochlorous acid in the water. We cover output limits, why incorrect voltage or current can keep a system from producing enough chlorine, why salt residue can be corrosive after evaporation, and why bonding matters more than most people realize. We also clear up a common mistake: boost mode doesn't shock a pool, so we explain what to do when you need chlorine fast. • why chlorine percentages on labels don't compare evenly across products• weight-to-weight vs trade percent vs volume-based strength terms• a simple rule of thumb for liquid chlorine strength per gallon• why chlorine gas is used as the comparison standard• how trichlor's “available chlorine” number gets calculated• what each chlorine type adds to the water: salt, calcium, cyanuric acid• how salt water chlorine generators make chlorine gas in the cell• why low voltage or wrong current reduces chlorine production• salt level targets and why salt residue becomes corrosive after evaporation• bonding and grounding to reduce electrolysis risk• why pH rises in salt pools from sodium hSend us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!
