Intermediate Water Chemistry

With Paul Gillio, Solenis

Note: Due to the material covered, this is a three hour course.

Now that the student has learned the basics of water chemistry, it’s time to get down to the not so basic details. This class will dive into more detailed areas of filtration equipment, specialty chemicals, interrelationships of chemical readings, and more. Due to the significant amount of information to cover we have set aside three hours. A Double Time Slot! Lengthier discussions will be spent on: filters, their differences and advantages/disadvantages among them, types of enzymes and what they do and why they work well together, how to adjust water that is out of balance, how and when CYA affects total alkalinity readings, how chlorine works and the different types of combined chlorine, how to select the right algaecide, phosphates and their role in pool chemistry, good and bad.
