The Pool Biz: June 2007. Sunday, June 24, 2007. Trying To Tighten The Hinges. I’ve added a link to the Honor Roll. It’s to the Trouble Free Pool forum. I don’t know too much about it yet, but a lot of the people who post, or posted, at the old Pool Forum post there, so that’s a good sign. And it’s open for new members, unlike the Pool Forum. He became even more animated and unhinged when I took the time to join the forum and introduce myself right here. It’s a neat thing that Sean B the Site administrato...

The Pool Biz: March 2007. Sunday, March 25, 2007. Stray Currents Are Still Dissolving Your Salt Water Swimming Pool, Part Three. I’ve printed his comments about the problems he’s seen in previous blog pieces. In fact, his quotes are what started me titling my weekly installments as Stray Currents Are Dissolving Your Salt Water Swimming Pool . Like when I first started asking questions about why everything was falling apart, they would say, We’re only using 3,000 ppm salt. How could that be corrosive?

The Pool Biz: November 2006. Saturday, November 25, 2006. This week we’ll talk about salt and the meters that read it; we’ll explore another sterling example of the power of galvanic corrosion; and discuss warranty policies that take sales away from you. So, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, huh? If you missed his comment on last week’s post, I quote it here:. What the NaCl level is. Am I supposed to just believe what it says and trust them. cause it is printed? It reminds me of ...

The Pool Biz: December 2006. Sunday, December 31, 2006. WHY SALT STILL SUCKS. It’s been an interesting couple of weeks. I have talked to a lot of people who are very knowledgeable about pools and pool water chemistry and salt systems in particular, and I have learned a lot. And I have come to a conclusion. And then I found that my worst fear was true. It was something we were doing wrong. We were putting salt into our pools. That’s the problem with journalism. You have to air both sides of the issue&...

The Pool Biz: Arch Plaster Study. Saturday, March 21, 2009. I do a lot of reading. The older I get and the less time I spend in the field the more I read all the things that I used to tell myself I would get around to reading when I wasn’t too busy cleaning pools. There’s this report that’s been rattling around the internet and the trade shows and seminars for the last several years. You can find it here:. Http:/ piscines-apollo.com/docs/arch plaster study.pdf. It’s title on that first website is:. Well,...

The Pool Biz: January 2007. Sunday, January 28, 2007. A Long Post, But Worth the Read. A few weeks ago, I opened an e-mail to find this:. Consumers are driving the current market trend unlike that of the 70's and 80's where salt was driven by the manufacturer. Del Ozone manufacturers a salt and ozone system but unlike numerous other manufacturers we have been upfront from the start and explained that SALT IS CORROSIVE! The Complete Ozone Company. And this is what I wrote:. I'm not going to pitch your pro...
