Mastering Pool Water Chemistry with Eric Knight

Eric Knight, Vice President at Orenda/HAASA, takes on pool water chemistry for anyone who has struggled to make sense of it or been buried under conflicting advice. He brings more than eight years of hands-on experience aimed at pool professionals, builders and homeowners alike.

His argument is that traditional water chemistry practice often works against itself, and that physics offers a better route to efficient pool care. The discussion covers the pH ceiling, chlorine retention, and how understanding water’s natural behaviour makes maintenance easier, more eco-friendly and less expensive.

The result is a different way of thinking about water chemistry, with practical steps attached.
