Ways to optimize chlorine efficiency
Shortly after Eric and Joe attempted (only somewhat successfully) to get headphones and microphones to stay connected, this episode discussed several ways to extend chlorine and optimize its efficiency. Some key takeaways: you can raise CYA in a controlled way, but supplementing chlorine is still a huge benefit. Also, we talk about combined chlorine and keeping ammonia out of your pool.

Show Notes
00:00 - Intro
02:57 - How to we make use of the limited chlorine we have?
03:33 - The chlorine shortage explained (by Joe, so it's better)
06:58 - Chlorinate at a time that direct sunlight does not hit the liquid chlorine. Either in shade or at night.
09:06 - Don't hoard liquid chlorine. It degrades over time, and don't be that person. Your peers and neighbors need chlorine too.
10:22 - What else can be done? Secondary oxidation/sanitization can supplement chlorine.
12:34 - What about deliberately slowing down chlorine? (Intentionally raising CYA)
15:02 - If you raise CYA on purpose, you can do that, but you should remove phosphates and non-living organics to further optimize the slower chlorine that you have.
15:55 - Keep nitrogen compounds (like ammonia or urea) out of your pool.
19:28 - If you're using algaecides, be aware of their byproducts. All of them have byproducts that will eventually conflict with chlorine and reduce it.
