00:00 - Intro

01:31 - Green water from calcium/alkalinity imbalance. Add calcium.

03:08 - Copper. Figure out where the copper is coming from (and stop it), then remove copper.

04:51 - SC-1000 is not a stain or metal remover. It is a chelating agent that needs to be used in conjunction with a citric/ascorbic acid and a metal filter/remover.

07:17 - Algae. Chlorine (HOCl) is the best algaecide. Orenda does NOT make any algaecides.

14:20 - Remove debris from a green pool, because piles underwater can protect algae from chlorine.

18:45 - Liquid chlorine is the preferred chlorine method for green pool cleanups.

19:46 - Reminder: never mix different types of chlorine!

23:25 - Green pool cleanup process (in order): remove debris. Netting, brushing, vacuuming. Super-chlorinate, add PR-10,000, then CV-600 or CV-700 enzymes.

26:21 - When do we add enzymes? Some add them same day, some add the next day. Both seem to work.

31:00 - Recap: first, figure out why your pool is green. It may not be algae.

33:23 - Thank you for listening!
