This technical session provides a comprehensive overview of the core principles of pool water chemistry, focusing on the factors that directly impact water balance, equipment longevity, and swimmer experience. Participants will learn how to evaluate and manage key parameters, including pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid (CYA), and total dissolved solids (TDS). The session will also cover practical application of the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) to prevent scaling and corrosion, along with the proper selection and use of sanitizers, oxidizers, and algaecides. Attendees will gain insight into water testing best practices, filtration fundamentals, and effective troubleshooting of common water quality issues. Designed for both new and experienced pool professionals, this session delivers actionable knowledge that can be applied immediately in service, retail, or operational environments. Class attendees will also gain practical, real-world tips from a 40-year industry veteran.
