12:40 keep chlorine levels up and correct. use enzymes to take load off of chlorine. clarifiers to help remove material from water. use chelating or sequestering agents for metal in the dust.
14:50 watch your water levels. expect excessive evaporation. don't cost yourself a lot of money due to negligence in maintaining pool water levels. make yourself look a couple times every week.
18:27 scale appearing in pools. higher pool water temperatures increase your LSI. if your LSI gets too high it will force calcium out of solution and scale your pool. manage LSI with lower alkalinity and pH.
20:09 why is shock clouding your pool. cal hypo shocks have high pH and add calcium. this is a double dose of trouble with your LSI. consider liquid chlorine in high water temperatures
