Floc-It Friday! Host: Rudy Stankowitz
About: Floc-It Friday! is a weekly deep-dive into how pool water actually behaves, not how the industry casually talks about it. The show focuses on kinetic chemistry, reaction timing, and cause-and-effect thinking—challenging shortcuts such as volume dosing, number chasing, blind reliance on ORP, oversimplified LSI arguments, and one-size-fits-all chlorine logic. The Friday episodes are a thinking-forward show for professionals who want to diagnose systems, not symptoms—and who understand that clear water doesn’t automatically mean correct water.
