Oxidation & Sanitation: The Six Faces of Chlorine
Sometimes, to master the science of pool care, you’ve got to rewind all the way to the fundamentals — and that’s exactly what Wayne does in this nostalgic, knowledge-packed Throwback Thursday episode of the Talking Pools Podcast.
This week, Wayne strips away the marketing fluff, the industry noise, and the high-tech gadgets to return to where it all began: Chlorine 101. He breaks down the true difference between oxidation and sanitation, revealing why so many pros get it wrong — and how that mix-up can mean the difference between crystal-clear water and chaos in a bottle.
From sodium hypochlorite to trichlor, from cal hypo to chlorine gas, Wayne dives into all six types of chlorine, explaining how each one behaves, reacts, and—let’s face it—sometimes misbehaves in a pool. You’ll walk away reminded that this simple element is anything but simple.
Whether you’re a seasoned pool tech who’s been around since chlorine came in glass bottles, or a rookie trying to wrap your head around free vs. combined chlorine, this episode will reignite your respect for the basics that keep every pool sparkling and every customer safe.
💧 Because even the pros need to go back to where it all started sometimes — the chlorine.
