Sarah Says: The Science, the Sass, and the Suds
If you thought pool care was boring, you clearly haven’t heard Sarah break it down. This week she dives headfirst into the bubbling, backwashing, beautifully chaotic world of pool chemistry — with zero filters and a full cup of caffeine. It’s educational, hilarious, slightly unhinged, and 100% Sarah.
She’s here to make sure you understand what’s really happening in that pool water — why your readings are off, why “shock” isn’t a personality type, and why that weird smell isn’t chlorine, it’s your own bad decisions dissolving in the deep end.
In this episode, Sarah covers:
- Why every pool pro needs to stop treating “chlorine” and “shock” like they’re two different life forms.
- The real deal behind oxidation, sanitation, and why ORP is the pool’s version of a mood ring.
- Test kit interferences that’ll make you question your career choices.
- How pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer all play together (and what happens when they don’t).
- The customer who swore their pool “cleaned itself” — and how that went.
- Her completely rational rage against people who eyeball chemical doses “by vibe.”
Top Sarah-isms from this episode:
- “If your pool smells like a YMCA locker room, congratulations — you’ve just invented chloramines!”
- “It’s called a test kit, not a guess kit. Stop pretending you’re psychic.”
- “ORP doesn’t measure how much you care, but it definitely shows when you don’t.”
- “Shock is chlorine. Chlorine is shock. It’s not algebra, it’s pool school — and apparently, I’m the principal now.”
- “If I had a dollar for every time someone said ‘it looks clear so it’s clean,’ I’d retire and buy a pool with a lifeguard who never argues with me.”
Why you’ll love it:
This episode is like sitting in chemistry class if your teacher had road rage and a sense of humor. Sarah explains the science in plain English — then yells about it until you’ll never forget it again. Equal parts entertainment and education, it’s a masterclass in chlorine and chaos.
