Here's to the Naysayers
Much of our teaching is contrarian to the pool industry's established standards. We often face pushback from naysayers, and we welcome it. So here's to the naysayers: Eric and Jarred reply to our most common criticisms.

02:23 - Jarred printed the show notes for this episode
03:17 - Criticism: Orenda downplays the importance of pH
07:09 - Criticism: Orenda advocates for alkalinity below 80 ppm, but that will destroy a pool
08:38 - Criticism: Orenda says 50 ppm CYA or less, but you can't hold chlorine for a week with such low levels
09:54 - Criticism: Phosphates don't matter, and Orenda just says they do to sell more PR-10,000
11:25 - Criticism: The Orenda Startup conflicts with other standard methods
13:38 - Criticism: The Orenda Startup doesn't work

20:44 - Criticism: Orenda says calcium flakes from salt cells are calcium carbonate, but I was told they're calcium phosphate
