No Comments When we discuss pool water balance in our CPO classes (as we did this past Thursday and Friday in Anaheim, March 10-11, 2011), I make a statement like: ”In our industry, we add Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) to raise the Total Alkalinity.” In our CPO Handbook (on page 360), the “Chemistry Adjustment Guide” indicates that it will take 1.4 pounds of BiCarb to raise the [...]
February 20th, 2011 by Steve 1 Comment In our CPO class, when we talk about D.E. filters, we stress that it’s the Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.), NOT the grids, which is the filter media.

This was no small decision and definitely no small feat in itself! [...]

But the doors were open for education — they were certainly gracious and hospitable to us, as always! The San Diego class was FULL — literally out the door! It was a great group – resort general managers, seasoned pool guys, retail pool store [...]

It was an interesting group of property managers, facility maintenance personnel, pool guys, and a few newcomers to the industry.
