Trichlor tablets keep pools clear with slow, steady chlorination, so why do they get blamed for “ruining” pool water? We dig into the real chemistry behind the complaints and separate hard facts from pool-store folklore. If you've ever heard that cyanuric acid somehow sticks around after a full drain, or that topping off after evaporation fixes high stabilizer, we walk through why those ideas don't hold up and where the confusing test results actually come from.We also get blunt about what many people are never told at the point of sale: trichlor tablets are trichloroisocyanuric acid, and they add a lot of cyanuric acid (CYA) as they chlorinate. Since CYA doesn't evaporate, it can climb all season, making free chlorine less active at the same reading. We talk through a practical target approach using the common “free chlorine should be about 7.5% of CYA” guideline, and why that can create real headaches for commercial pool operators who must stay under health department chlorine limits.Then we shift into solutions that let you keep the convenience of tablets without letting stabilizer creep take over: small, scheduled partial drains, using less trichlor by supporting with liquid chlorine or cal-hypo, and water “enhancers” like 50 ppm borates, mineral systems, and phosphate remover plus enzymes to help chlorine last longer. We also cover how heavy rain in some regions can provide meaningful dilution that changes your game plan. Subscribe for more straight talk pool chemistry, share this with a pool owner who's battling mystery chlorine loss, and leave a review with your biggest trichlor or CYA question.We clear up the biggest trichlor tablet misconceptions and explain why cyanuric acid readings can confuse even experienced pool owners.

Peter Swimm, Founder of Toilville, is a conversational AI pioneer, and he describes the transformation in healthcare resulting from the use of AI and large language models to address clinician burnout and improve patient outcomes. He emphasizes that technology should adapt to practitioners' workflows rather than forcing practitioners to change their behavior. Human oversight is essential to ensure accuracy and transparency, and Peter advocates for a culture shift where time saved through the use of AI is reinvested in higher-quality patient care and clinician satisfaction. Peter explains, "I think a lot of people think of their problems as a unique snowflake in the world. I think if we boil the ocean down to its elements, it is an understanding of the system of its inhabitants. And so we do a lot of work with small businesses and clients who typically have worked for big companies, and they've chafed at all the rules and the boundaries and the problems. They leave the big company and want to run their own show, but they lose that infrastructure."   "A lot of times, they turn to tools like AI and automation, or they buy software products that don't entirely fit their thinking. And so we help them negotiate that pattern where the technology molds to what the presentation layer is and how you want to treat things and handle your data. And you don't change away from what your competitive advantage is, which is being a unique and talented person who runs the show the way they see best." "So I think the challenge is, don't let your FOMO be FAFO. Just because everyone's telling you to do AI and you don't really understand it and you don't see the positive outcomes, don't assume it's like a lack of training on your part." #SPELWork #Toilville #OptInPodcast #ResonantDiversification #AIGovernance #ResponsibleAI #ConsentFirst #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #HealthIT #ClinicalAI #HealthcareAI #PatientAdvocacy #ClinicianBurnout #HealthEquity #SDOH #AIAccountability #AIEthics #AISafety #ConsentFirst #DataSovereignty #HumanInTheLoop #HealthcareInnovation#DigitalHealth #PhysicianBurnout #HealthIT #ConversationalAI #PatientCare toilville.com Download the transcript here

BONUS: From 3,000 Scripts to 3 Tools - Building AI-Last Software With Conversational AI Pioneer Peter Swimm In this special BONUS episode, Peter Swimm—conversational AI veteran, creator of BotKit (the open-source chatbot framework that powered Slack and Teams bots), and former Principal Product Manager at Microsoft Copilot Studio—shares what 25+ years in tech taught him about working with AI. From his brutal experiment of running an entire business on voice-based AI for a week, to why he treats AI more like R2-D2 than C-3PO, Peter offers a grounded, practical perspective on where AI fits in software development teams. From BotKit to Copilot Studio: A Front-Row Seat to the AI Evolution "We had the number one bot in the Slack app store, because there were only 8 bots, and ours used regex. To show you how far we've come."   Peter's journey into conversational AI started with a newspaper ad and a creative writing background. When Slack launched its API, Peter and BotKit co-creator Ben Brown immediately saw that building bots wasn't just a technical challenge—it was a social and creative one, like writing scripts for plays that interface with people in their daily lives. That insight powered BotKit into becoming the backbone of Slack and Teams bots, and eventually led to Microsoft acquiring the company. Peter spent years inside Microsoft shaping Copilot Studio, working on connectors that bridge the gap between APIs and real-world work. But the experience also gave him a healthy dose of perspective: he can show you slide decks from 2016 that promise the same things today's AI pitches promise, always saying "within 5 years." That pattern recognition shapes his practical, no-hype approach. The 3,000 Scripts Experiment: Why AI-Last Beats AI-First "At the end of the day, if I've been prompting all day, I should have a computer program that works offline, that works without a subscription. Otherwise, I didn't really make anything."   Peter ran a week-long experiment trying to run his entire business using only voice-based conversational AI. The result: 3,000 generated scripts. After static code analysis, he discovered it was really only 5 programs made thousands of times—and those 5 programs were really just 2 or 3 core abilities. He deleted 36 gigabytes of generated code and kept 50 megabytes of what actually worked. This brutal compression led him to an "AI-last" philosophy: build reliable runtime software that works confidently in one click, then use AI only for exploration, connection-making, and creative riffing. The payoff is striking—within 3 weeks of a given application, his team sees a 90% reduction in AI usage in the first week, dropping to 0% within 13 days, because once a computer program does everything you need, you don't need AI anymore. R2-D2, Not C-3PO: How to Think About AI on Your Team "I think of our AI use more like R2-D2 than C-3PO. R2-D2 doesn't talk—bonus points. He doesn't interject his fear. He saves your butt. He's silent until you need him, and visible when you need him."   Peter's Star Wars analogy captures his team's philosophy on AI integration. AI should be like a smarter linter—a quiet, capable tool that handles the boring, repetitive tasks so humans can focus on creativity and shipping. His team treats AI as a "super junior" with infinite time: set it up as if it invented Python, have it write buy-the-book code with unit tests, and then a human reviews and accepts (or rejects) the output. The tooling isn't consistent enough to ship autonomously or commit directly into the codebase—even frontier providers don't fully understand what their models do. The practical benefit is enormous for setup and configuration: what used to be a painful, arcane process of tracking down dozens of AWS or Azure docs becomes a 20-minute "hello world" that's actually a working proof of concept. Your job isn't to become an expert at cloud services—it's to ship product. The Biggest Mistake: Automating Broken Processes at AI Speed "All it does is automate all the mistakes you made, all the way, at AI speed."   When asked about the most common mistake organizations make with AI, Peter is blunt: they port their existing infrastructure into AI-governed systems instead of rebuilding from the ground up. Companies with a self-inflated opinion of their processes think AI is just a million-person force multiplier—so they'll ship faster. But if your process was broken before AI, you'll just generate broken output at unprecedented scale. That 3,000-script experiment proved this firsthand. Peter's recommendation: rebuild from the bolts up. Start with AI-last architecture where reliable, offline-capable software handles the core, and AI is reserved for the edges—filling gaps, translating between systems, and making connections that don't exist yet. SaaS Is Bloated: The Case for AI Transformation Layers "The one thing AI is good at is transforming between boundaries."   Peter's team has been divesting from SaaS providers, replacing the patchwork of middleware subscription plans that forced everyone to copy and paste between CMS, Excel, meeting notes, and email. His approach: product people use Notion, developers use GitHub, and the two cross-sync without needing Jira as an arbitration layer. Everyone tracks work in the tool they already live in. AI's real superpower here is translation—between APIs, between languages, between formats. Peter sees a future where small translation layers between CRUD operations replace the bloated, one-size-fits-all SaaS tools that are "built for 99% of users with generalized features nobody uses." His team also freed themselves from tools like Figma: the designer works in their preferred graphics program, the developer in their preferred IDE, and AI arbitrates the differences. Teams, Velocity, and Reinvesting the AI Dividend "5 to 7 people is still good, because you need a diverse set of people who are intensely focused on certain areas. But they should be allotted that savings in time to ship all the things that get cut."   Peter pushes back on the idea that AI changes the ideal team size. The 5-to-7 person team still works—what should change is what those people do with the time they save. Instead of loading teams onto more projects or increasing portfolio velocity, reinvest the AI productivity dividend into quality: ship with unit tests from day one, ship WCAG-compliant from day one, and stop cutting features to hit deadlines. Version 1.0 should no longer need an immediate 1.1 follow-up. Peter also challenges the notion that AI eliminates the need for experienced practitioners—velocity metrics become meaningless when a 6-week coding plan finishes in 25 minutes. What matters is using the saved time to make software genuinely better. The Future: Demo-First Development and Solid Releases "I can show you a working demo of the thing at the first meeting, and you can pay for it. And then we can make it better than your dreams."   Peter sees AI transforming the consulting and product development lifecycle from "launch, listen, and learn" to "listen, iterate, and launch." As a consultant, he now brings working demos to first meetings instead of $20,000 six-week proposals. Clients see the product in motion and immediately identify improvements—before money changes hands. This shifts the power dynamic: products iterate toward quality before launch, not after. Peter envisions a future where we ship solid releases that iterate in quality, with interfaces that show users only what's relevant to them instead of "90,000 buttons that don't apply to me."   About Peter Swimm   Peter Swimm is a conversational AI veteran with 25+ years in tech — from managing data centers to building Botkit (the open-source chatbot framework that powered Slack and Teams bots), to serving as Principal Product Manager at Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Your workday is filled with mundane tasks that drain your time and energy. Plus, doing less than top of license work is hardly a great financial strategy. But is AI really the solution? My guest Peter Swimm of Toilville gives you the lowdown on why open AI is just a time suck rife with hallucinations. Listen in to learn how a bespoke conversational AI system will solve your unique problems better and  relieve your cognitive burden in the process. If your AI platform isn't aligned with your process it's not going to produce much that's reliable or of value. Since AI is predictive based on the process it is designed for, anything that deviates will lead to hallucinations. That's why creative firms whose processes are more complex and have more variables need a customized model. Don't abdicate your responsibilities to AI, use it as a tool to accomplish repetitive, low skill tasks based on the process you define.  More software never makes people more productive, simplify instead of over-complicating. The questions you ask determine the solutions available to you. Effective problem solving and design requires a true understanding of the client's pain points. These "desire lines" can be overlooked when solutions are generated too quickly and an error was made in the early stages of the process.

Ever wonder if you're missing something when it comes to manifestation? Have you worked through your limiting beliefs, just to feel like you've still hit a wall?I invited Fielden Swimm, a Life Coach and Neuro-Somatic Practitioner, to talk to us about parts work, EFT, hypnosis, and nervous system training and how she helps her clients become the expert of their own brain and body, crank up their self-leadership (without years of retelling the same old stories and “working on themselves”) so they can be the fully-expressed, courageous marvels they came here to be. In this episode, we talk about:Parts work and how to integrate all parts of you (even the exiled parts) to be your most authentic self.How to ‘get rid of' shame faster than anything you've ever tried before.Why common manifestation practices can lead to fear based thinking.Why you're afraid of taking action and what to do about it.Fielden walks us through an exercise to help you calm the nervous system.Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/?aff=16Connect with Fielden on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fieldenswimm/Rise Goddess is opening soon.

We know that the onset of eating disorders very typically begins in the teenage years and that teens are particularly vulnerable to disordered eating… so how can we create an environment that fosters a healthy relationship with food and body for teens? Whether you are a teen, have a teen, or just want to understand your teenage self, Danielle Swimm, LCPC, provides enlightening answers for us. Danielle is a good friend of mine and is a certified eating disorder specialist in Annapolis, Maryland. She has a group practice, Collide Behavioral Health, that focuses on helping women heal their relationship with food and their body.  She's really into mental health and female empowerment, and she's a business coach for therapists – which is the coolest! When she's not working, she's doing yoga or outside with her toddler and puppy (and her puppy is pretty adorable!). It's really important to talk about this stuff because so often teens are left struggling without getting help. But when we do have someone who reaches out for help sooner, recovery is so much more likely.  What we've noticed is that over the pandemic, the amount of inquiries – especially for teens – skyrocketed. Danielle has a few insights on why that may be and she's sharing them with us.  We talk about why eating disorders affect teens, how the pandemic exacerbated it, and how to approach conversations with teens around food and body image. Let's just jump right in!    Tweetable Quotes “You're trying to set your kid up for a healthy relationship with food… for their entire life. Today, they're 13, 14, 17… but their body's going to continue to change in 10, 20, and 40 years… especially for girls when they're women, and they go through pregnancy  and menopause – you have to have these skills, because otherwise, you're totally screwed.” – Rachelle Heinemann   “In our culture, that isn't talked about. It's just assumed you go through puberty and your body stays the same for 50 years. It's not accurate at all, and it's very unattainable. The body isn't meant to do that.” – Danielle Swimm    “If [a teen] is making comments [about their body], they're asking for help. They want you to know. They're not going to say things to you that they don't want you to know – teens know how to be very secretive – so if they're saying something to you or doing something in front of you, they're waving a flag to say, ‘I need some attention in this area.'” – Danielle Swimm   “If they say, ‘I'm so fat,' and you say, ‘No, you're not' or ‘You're so beautiful,' what really you're saying is, ‘I actually disagree with your perspective' and that's really invalidating… or you're almost saying ‘Yeah, you're fat, but I also think you're beautiful.'” – Rachelle Heinemann   Resources:  Collide Behavior Health, Danielle's practice    Health at Every Size  LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who may need this podcast by sharing this episode.

Omer Rosenbaum lives in Tel Aviv, with his wife and 3 month old son. He loves to teach, and he shares his knowledge on his YouTube channel. He loves coffee, traveling, meeting new people, and learning languages (not just coding languages). In High School, he took an after school Pascal class - and he loved it. And around that time, he installed a virus on his computer, and established a new hobby for him - virus removal. As military service is obligatory, he spent several years in the Israeli military and learned a ton.Despite the skill level of engineers these days, Omer found that the onboarding processes of many companies were too costly. After discussing this issue with many end users, they confirmed that the world of knowledge sharing was broken... and they wanted to fix it.This is the creation story of Swimm.SponsorsImmediateOrbitPostmarkStytchVerb DataWebapp.ioLinksWebsite: https://swimm.io/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/omer-rosenbaum-034a08b9Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

An 18-years-old from Paris makes Aliyah and becomes a 8200 Intelligence Unit major. Then he creates a company that helps Olim find jobs in the hi-tech industry. A few years later, *the same guy*, co-founds a company that helps developers onboard to new jobs or project. It's not a Startup Nation fairy tale. It's Oren Toledano, ITC and Swimm co-founder. In January 2021 he joined us for Hummus and Tech and shared all his non-standard advice for Olim. A highly recommended listen to get inspired.

An early New Year's celebration becomes an episode of No Simple Road. Adam from SWIMM just happens to be my Daughter's Boyfriend so, we took the opportunity to find out what makes him tick. We talk about his start in drumming, living as a musician, meeting your heroes, and Darwin's farts. Its a fun episode filled with laughter, celebration, and New Years wishes.
