In this episode of Pool School Podcast, host Roy "Al G." Free takes a deep dive into one of the most crucial, yet often overlooked, aspects of pool care: the Langelier Saturation Index (LSI). If you've ever wondered why your pool water sometimes feels off, or why scale builds up in your pool equipment, this episode is for you.

Roy breaks down the science of LSI in an easy-to-understand way, explaining how it helps you maintain the perfect balance in your pool water. He’ll cover how LSI can prevent scaling and corrosion, ensuring your pool and equipment stay in top condition.

But LSI isn’t just another pool chemistry term—it’s a game changer when it comes to keeping your water crystal clear and your maintenance costs low. Roy will also discuss how LSI fits into your overall pool care routine, along with the vital roles of pH, total alkalinity, and calcium hardness.

Whether you're a seasoned pool owner or just getting started, this episode will give you the knowledge to fine-tune your pool chemistry and keep your backyard oasis running smoothly. Tune in for an engaging mix of chemistry, practical tips, and a touch of humor to keep things light. You’ll leave this episode feeling more confident in managing your pool and understanding exactly what makes your water tick.
