00:00 - Intro

01:44 - Biggest difference between normal pool days and a pool party: bather load.

05:28 - Visit our Second Pillar of proactive pool care, about non-living organics.

08:21 - Holy trinity of pools: Circulation, Filtration, and Chemistry. All three suffer during a pool party.

13:08 - Prepare water and clean it up afterward. Homeowners have an advantage because they know when the party is going to happen, and they can prepare. Service professionals visit once a week, so they do not have that luxury.

17:27 - Best practices: handle the oxidant demand, communicate, and increase chlorine (not shocking, just raising it up to about 5 ppm). Also, clean strainer baskets and vacuum debris out of the pool ahead of time.

20:48 - Clean up the toys afterward so the pool can be vacuumed and cleaned faster after the party.

23:22 - Thanks for listening!
