Podcasts about Orenda

A lot of residential pool techs learn water chemistry the hard way: a few rules of thumb, a few opinions from the internet, and a lot of costly guessing when something won't clear up. We wanted to change that conversation, so we brought Terry Arko back on to share real news about a new training rollout that preserves Bob Lowry's legacy while making it easier for today's pool service pros to actually use.We dig into why Bob Lowry's Pool Chemistry Training Institute (PCTI) mattered so much for the backyard pool professional, especially in a world where CPO certification is aimed at commercial operations. Terry explains how HASA took on the responsibility of maintaining and expanding that residential pool care education, and how the growth of on-demand learning (including the influence of Orenda's education approach) helped shape the new direction. The goal is simple: practical pool chemistry training that's clear, relatable, and built for what you see on route.Then we get into the big update: HASA is filming 14 short training videos based on Bob's residential material, followed by a quiz and a certification. We also talk about the specific concepts that make this training worth your time, including cyanuric acid (CYA) and chlorine effectiveness, water balance and LSI for residential pools, the importance of free chlorine over combined chlorine, and how understanding buffering and source water can help you save chemicals while keeping pools more stable.If you want smarter, simpler pool chemistry that you can apply immediately, listen through and keep an eye out for the video series dropping on the HASA site. Subscribe, share this with a tech who needs it, and leave a review so more pool pros can find the training they've been missing.We share breaking news on a new HASA-hosted training series that brings Bob Lowry's residential pool chemistry teachings back in a modern format. We also talk through why practical, poolside chemistry education matters and how techs can access certification-style learning again.  • the training gap between residential pool service and commercial certification paths  • Bob Lowry's teaching style and why it resonates with backyard pool pros  • how HASA and Orenda help expand access to pool chemistry education  • why the condensed two-hour format works better for many techs  • what to expect from the 14 short videos, quiz, and certification  • the downside of overly theoretical instruction and the value of usable concepts  • key chemistry topics like CYA, free chlorine, combined chlorine, LSI, source water, and buffering  Join the pool guy coaching program.

¿Le ha pasado que se encuentra con una capa blanca, opaca y áspera en una piscina prefabricada de fibra de vidrio, intenta limpiarla con ácido muriático y no le hace absolutamente nada? Por décadas, la industria nos ha dicho que este fenómeno, conocido técnicamente como chalking, es una simple incrustación de carbonato de calcio o que el sol "quemó" el acabado por un abuso de cloro. De hecho, por años los fabricantes recomendaban bajar la dureza de calcio a menos de 100 ppm para evitarlo, una práctica descabellada que terminaba destruyendo los calentadores y componentes del sistema debido a un ISL agresivo y corrosivo. En este episodio dejamos atrás los mitos de los manuales viejos y analizamos una teoría científica en desarrollo que está cambiando las reglas del juego. De la mano de las investigaciones recientes de Bill Khamis (Thursday Pools) y Eric Knight, desglosamos cómo el verdadero culpable no es el sarro común, sino una reacción molecular que forma silicato de calcio dentro de los poros del gelcoat, un cristal completamente inmune al ácido. Analizamos el proceso químico desde la fabricación en el noreste de EE. UU., el peligro de usar oxidantes pesados como el hipo cal, el impacto del pH en la solubilidad del calcio, y cómo la diferencia real entre agentes secuestrantes y quelantes son su única defensa real. Si usted trabaja con piscinas prefabricadas o tiene problemas de manchas blancas que nadie puede quitar, este episodio le dará el enfoque científico que necesita. ¡Dale play y tome el control!

Eyeballing pool chemicals feels fast, but it can quietly wreck your results and your margins. I walk through the most common pool water chemistry mistakes I see on pool routes, starting with the habit of default dosing: “a quart of acid,” “half a gallon of chlorine,” and other shortcuts that ignore what the water is actually doing. With today's chemical prices, accuracy matters, and the good news is it does not have to mean slow, complicated math. A simple dosing app like poolcalculator.com can get you to the right number in about a minute.From there, we get into why “balanced water” is bigger than clarity and sanitizer. The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) helps you spot water that is corrosive (heater damage, staining risk, surface wear) or scale forming (tile line buildup, equipment scaling). I explain how tools like the Orenda app make LSI practical in the field and why ignoring it can turn routine acid additions into long-term damage.We also talk about cyanuric acid (CYA) creep from trichlor tablets and how it snowballs through the season. As CYA rises, the free chlorine level required for effective sanitation rises too, which is why the 7.5% guideline matters. Finally, if you're fighting algae, cloudy water, or chloramines, I explain why under-shocking often does almost nothing and how aiming beyond breakpoint chlorination can save you from repeat blooms next week.Subscribe for more pool service and pool chemistry training, share this with a tech who still eyeballs doses, and leave a review with the chemistry mistake you want help fixing next.We break down the pool water chemistry mistakes that waste chemicals, damage surfaces, and create repeat problems on a pool service route. I explain how quick dosing math, LSI awareness, and the right chlorine strategy make results more consistent and more profitable.  • relying on rules of thumb instead of calculating doses  • using dosing apps like poolcalculator.com to save time and money  • understanding LSI to prevent corrosive water and scale forming water  • recognizing cyanuric acid creep from trichlor tablets across the season  • applying the 7.5% CYA to free chlorine guideline to keep chlorine effective  • seeing how total alkalinity changes muriatic acid demand and pH drop risk  • avoiding underdosing when shocking for algae, chloramines, and combined chlorine  Learn more at swimmingpoollearning.com.  If you're interested in the coaching program, you can learn more at poolguycoaching.com.Send us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

am reading a book that nauseates me, similar to the disgust I experienced when reading Nabokov's book, Lolita, which immerses in the mind of a pedophile in the process of seducing his preteen step-daughter. The book that has my attention now is set in the 1600s, in what the colonizers renamed from Wendake, 'The Island' in the Huron language, to Ontario, Canada. The book, Orenda, centers on Bird, a Huron elder, Snowfalls, an Iroquoian child, and Christophe, a French Jesuit priest set on stealing their souls for Christianity. The book is rife with violence. Physical violence in the clash between the warring Huron and Iriquois is described in graphic detail. And the spiritual violence inflicted by the priest upon the people, a priest obsessed with converting the people to a view of life arising from a Stone Age tribe dwelling in the Middle East on stolen lands. It is this soul violence that makes me want to retch.

For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali caught up with returning guest (one of our first, no less) writer Doug Johnstone to look back over 20 years as a published author in the run up to his 20th novel coming out in August of this year, as well as the new versions of his first two novels, all three to be published with Orenda Books.They went through the novels to date in order, from 2006's Tombstoning to The Transcendent Tide. During the conversation, Doug talks about getting published initially, the unexpected order of his early publications, finding his rhythm as a writer, writing from experience, learning to edit his own work, the importance of place, portraying alternative Edinburghs, moving between subject matter (and later genre), changing publishers and finding a home with Orenda, stand alone novels versus writing a series, and so much more.The two also talk character, plot, pacing, and personal favourites, before Doug gives a glimpse into what comes next. One of Scots Whay Hae!'s favourite authors, what this episode proves is that Doug Johnstone is among the most interesting, thrilling, yet always thought-provoking, writers at work today. Looking back over this storied career the picture to emerge is one of a master of his craft. Put simply, no one does it as Doug does.Full details, including all the ways to listen, are over at scotswhayhae.com

If you've ever converted a chlorine pool to salt and immediately regretted it, the problem usually isn't the salt system. It's the startup. We break down a practical, step-by-step salt pool startup process that helps you avoid the two headaches that wreck new installs: runaway pH and scale on the surface or inside the salt cell.We start with timing, especially for new plaster, quartz, and pebble style finishes. Plaster keeps curing for months and creates heavy acid demand early on, so turning on a saltwater chlorine generator too soon can make pH control feel impossible. I share the real-world waiting window I prefer, what happens if a homeowner pushes for day-one salt, and how that decision can show up later as scaling and constant corrections.Then we get into the numbers that make a salt pool conversion smooth: getting total alkalinity near 80 ppm and pH around 7.4 to 7.6 before the generator ever comes online, and using LSI guidance with tools like the Orenda app. We also talk about borates at 50 ppm as a smart add-on for pH stability, plus the safest way to add salt: test first with a digital salt meter, use pool salt only, add less than the bag math suggests, and recheck after 24 hours so you don't end up draining water to fix an overshoot.Finally, we tackle cyanuric acid (CYA) reality. If you're coming from trichlor, CYA may be sky high, and your free chlorine target must match it using proven ratios like Bob Lowry's guidance. • waiting to turn on a salt cell on new plaster to reduce pH battles and scaling risk• why saltwater chlorine generators raise pH through aeration and chemical reaction• starting conditions that set you up for success: clear water, clean filter, balanced alkalinity and pH• why high alkalinity buffers pH and makes acid less effective• using LSI and tools like the Orenda app to avoid scale or corrosion• adding borates to 50 ppm to stabilize pH and reduce drift• using pool salt only to avoid staining from impurities• testing salinity first with a digital salt meter and adding less salt than the caSend us Fan MailSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Tired of white dust on your dark pebble finish, shredded filter media, or the stress of a sudden cold snap? We dig into the practical, money-saving tactics that keep pools clear and equipment safe, backed by decades in the field and feedback from real service routes. You'll hear exactly why pressure washers and cartridge filters don't mix, plus the simple nozzle upgrade that speeds cleaning without wrecking pleats.We unpack calcium scale on pebble interiors with a plan you can actually use: manage the LSI slightly on the corrosive side to limit scale formation, lean on the Orenda app to get the math right, and use a sequestrant like EasyCare Butech for added protection during new-surface break-in. When deposits set hard, we explain why acid washes disappoint and why professional media blasting is the dependable reset—along with realistic costs so clients aren't blindsided.Cold weather throws another curveball. Freeze protect typically kicks on around 37 degrees and can run pumps for days without harm, but power outages are the real danger. We share a simple emergency checklist—from opening drain plugs to pulling salt cells—and why a standby generator is the best insurance in deep freezes. We also spotlight a patent-pending cartridge assembly for the Bottom Feeder and Shrimp vacs that captures 20-micron debris, transforming fine-dirt cleanups. To cap it off, we clarify how to get the most from suction-side cleaners: leave them in, let variable speed schedules do the work, and avoid hose memory by storing lines straight during parties.• why pressure washers damage cartridge filters and safer nozzle options• how LSI management reduces scale on dark pebble finishes• when to use sequestrants and when blasting is the only fix• realistic costs and cadence for bead blasting pebble interiors• how freeze protect works and what to do during power outages• a cartridge add-on that lets portable vacs capture fine dirt• best practices for leaving suction cleaners in and scheduling run timeJoin the pool guy coaching progSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Pool Pros text questions hereRudy does something different this week: he takes the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) out of the pool industry echo chamber and walks it through the lens of academics, civil engineers, groundwater chemists, and industrial water experts who don't care about plaster warranties, brand marketing, or trade show politics.If you've ever argued about “which LSI is right” in a Facebook group, this one is for you.Episode OverviewRudy kicks off with a news analogy: How the same event looks completely different on U.S. news versus international coverage. Same facts, different framing.He uses that setup to shift how we look at LSI:We already know the pool industry story about LSI: PHTA charts, app calculators, Orenda talks, trade folklore.But this episode asks: “What does the scientific community think about LSI when they're not talking to pool people at all?”Rudy dives into how universities and researchers actually use and define LSI in research on:GroundwaterDrinking water stabilityIndustrial cooling systemsDesalination plantsBoiler operationsCement leachingEnvironmental engineeringKey Concepts Covered1. LSI as the Outside World Sees ItAcademics consistently define LSI = pH − pHs, where pHs is the calculated saturation pH, not something you measure with a test kit.pHs is derived from:Calcium hardnessCarbonate alkalinityIonic strength (modeled via TDS / activity coefficients)TemperatureLSI is treated as a thermodynamic index:It shows which direction water wants to move with respect to calcium carbonate.It does not tell you how fast scale forms, how thick it gets, or how quickly surfaces dissolve.2. What Negative, Zero, and Positive LSI Actually Mean (Academically)Negative LSIWater is under-saturated in calcium carbonate.It is capable of dissolving calcium carbonate if given the chance.Researchers call it “aggressive” or “decalcifying” water—but they do not say it guarantees corrosion.LSI ≈ 0Theoretical equilibrium with calcium carbonate.In the real world, systems almost never sit at perfect equilibrium because of flow, aeration, dosing, and turbulence.Positive LSIWater is supersaturat AquaStar Pool ProductsThe Global Leader in Safety, Dependability, & Innovation in Pool Technology.POOL MAGAZINE Pool Magazine is leading up to the minute news source for Swimming Pool News and Pool Features.

Halloween season has arrived – that magical time when revelers across the country take to the streets disguised as ghosts, vampires, and witches. Here in Louisiana, of course, you'll find those kinds of spooky sightings all year round! On this week's Louisiana Eats, we've got all treats for you – and no tricks! Witchcraft has cast a spell on society for a long time, and with it, many literary and film references to good witches and bad witches. But it's not always so cut and dried. To begin our show, we speak with Orenda Fink, author of the memoir, The Witch's Daughter. Orenda, who's perhaps best known as half of the dream pop duo Azure Ray, tells us the story of being raised by a mother who claims to be a witch, and the madness that bound her family together. Orenda Fink will be presenting and signing her new book when she appears at Octavia Books in conversation with host Poppy Tooker on Friday, November 1 at 6pm. Next, we sit down with Cristina Quackenbush, the witchy chef behind Tatlo, a restaurant and absinthe bar in the French Quarter. From the menu to the décor, everything at Tatlo springs from Cristina's practice of benevolent witchcraft. Then, we hunt for specters in the home of Leslie Castay and Bryan Burkey, before raising a toast to our ghostly friends – with cocktails to die for! Sharon Keating and Christi Keating Sumich, authors of Hauntingly Good Spirits, take us on a historical romp through the supernatural by way of New Orleans' bar scene.

It's September! Pumpkin spice lattes are back on sale, the Halloween aisles are up and stocked at stores like Target and CVS, Halloween mazes are getting ready to open, and here in Los Angeles temperatures are dipping down out of the low hundreds to the high nineties and low hundreds. And here at the Dana Gould Hour Podcast are rarin' to go. Sam Morrill is here. Sam is one of the best comedians out there right now. Flat out. Done. His special You've Changed is currently on Amazon Prime and his previous Netflix special, Same Time Tomorrow is now available on his YouTube channel. One of the best, Same Morril is here.  Also, in our second half, moving into our holiday mood, Orenda Fink is here. Music fans will know Orenda as the co-founder of Azure Ray, she's also performed with Rilo Kiley and The Feint among others, but she has a new book out entitled The Witch's Daughter which is a memoir of her childhood with a mother who was a self-proclaimed witch. Whether she has supernatural powers or not remains to be proven but she put a lot of time and energy into casting spells and the like. It's an entertaining and sometimes harrowing story, to be completely honest and she's here to talk all about it. Orenda Fink. True Tales From Weirdsville takes you into through the past 80 year history of UFOs in America, from the famous Kenneth Arnold Mt. Ranier sighting that coined the phrase “flying saucer” in 1947 to the revelation in the pages of the New York Times of the Department Of Defense's Office Of Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification. And. Along the way. One of my favorite topics, UFO religions! 

Orenda Fink is a musician, songwriter, performer, and writer whose work has been profiled in by NPR, Pitchfork, and more. She has been writing, recording, and touring for critically acclaimed records since 1997. Orenda got her start in Birmingham, Alabama, with the pop-rock group Little Red Rocket.  In 2000, she formed the lauded ethereal folk duo Azure Ray with longtime friend Maria Taylor in Athens, Georgia. Azure Ray has cowritten with Moby and collaborated with Bright Eyes, Sparklehorse, and the Faint, among many others, with their music regularly featured in film and television programs.  The Witch's Daughter is her first book. She is originally from Alabama, and now resides in California's Mojave Desert with her husband, Todd Fink of The Faint, and their dog, Grimm.  The experiences described in this book prompted Orenda to become a certified Jungian Depth Coach with a specialization in shadow work and dream interpretation.

Muchas personas no lo saben, pero el mantenimiento del spa puede ser bastante diferente al de la piscina, en gran parte debido a la gran diferencia entre los tamaños. El ser meticuloso y proactivo con el mantenimiento y las dosis de los químicos en el spa harán una gran diferencia.
