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.
