Summary

In this episode, Rudy Stankowitz discusses responsible dosing of pool chemicals. He provides tips and best practices for accurate dosing, including standardizing measures, calibrating measuring cups, and using a food scale. Rudy also explains how to create a density-based conversion chart and emphasizes the importance of using consistent suppliers. He suggests using prepackaged doses and digital scales for more precise measurements. Rudy demonstrates the calculations for converting between weight and volume using density and provides examples for different brands of calcium hypochlorite. He also highlights the significance of staying within acceptable ranges for chlorine, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and other chemicals.
