The LSI | Water Temperature
How can a pool with textbook chemistry on closing be filled with crystals or dust when it opens back up? An analogy is to think of that swimming pool as a grizzly bear. You better feed it because if it has to wake up in the middle of the winter to eat, it's not going to be pretty. In this episode, Eric and Jarred give you a read on water temperature. Water temperature is the easiest factor of the LSI to measure, and yet it is the most neglected (or would ignored be a better word?). Unfortunately, folks just don't know how much temperature affects chemistry - and even the ability to test the water accurately. Almost all damage to a swimming pool happens during the winter. The reason? The lower the temperature, the lower your LSI.
