Pool Leaf War Tips: Fall Debris Cleanup, Automatic Cleaners & Water Chemistry | Backyard Family Fun Podcast

And, and in kind of talking about the, the leaf war situation, you know, it's not that it's just visually in the pool, you know, you look at it and you got leaves all, all around, all in the bottom and all that sort of thing.

It's not just that talk.

Can you talk a little bit about like, if you leave leaves there to sit for a few days, like that actually affects the water chemistry too.

That's a good point.

Correct? Yep, it really does.

A lot of times people don't realize that if you leave the debris in the bottom of the pool, the organic decay that you get, it's got to go somewhere.

So it stays in the water.

And we've seen other types of organic decay, meaning that you can get stains, you can get discoloration on the bottom of the pool, whether it's a plaster or fiberglass or vinyl stain.

bottom or tight pool that it is, it, it really can affect the chemistry of the water.

Um, so we, we highly recommend, I get it.

Sometimes you, you're busy.

Like you said, we working and we got spend more time taking care of the family and taking care of business.

And, uh, for, you know, it, you know, you got some, a storm that happened over the night and, you know, then you go out there a couple of days later, it's like, how did that happen? and it would have happened if we were taking care of

it.

But the thing is, is you don't want to leave it in the bottom of the pool.

Try to get it up as quickly as possible.

It does prevent any issues with the water chemistry because what that does is it just, whatever sanitation you're using, If you've got a chlorine generator via salt, then it's going to drop that level, the parts per million.

If you're using basic hypochlorous acid, just regular chlorine, then whether it's the unstabilized or stabilized chlorine, it's still going to drop the levels.

And that means, guess what? Crystal clear blue water starts turning green.

Green.

Yeah.

And then that's, who wants green?

Nobody.

I don't want green.

Nobody.
