00:00 - Intro

01:23 - What is an Orenda purge? It is a deliberately strong initial dose of enzymes and phosphate remover (and sometimes chelant) to reset your water. It gives your water the most reduced chlorine demand possible.

03:58 - The entire purpose of an Orenda Purge is remove chlorine-resistant contaminants.

07:45 - SC-1000 chelates metals and prevents oxidation and staining, but most pools do not need it every year. It will stay in for a very long time.

09:00 - PR-10,000 is a fast-acting, one-and-done product. It leaves behind no residual. And it works very well in tandem with enzymes.

10:42 - Every Orenda purge is based on CV-600 or CV-700 enzymes. Enzymes are the foundation of the purge.

12:51 - Oils and organics float, while dust falls. So if you are trying to clear the pool after using PR-10,000, use enzymes so that oils do not keep the dust suspended in the water.

17:01 - CV-600/700 and SC-1000 purge doses are the exact same amount: one quart per 10,000 gallons.

21:13 - Summary. Thanks for listening!
