Episode 15: Pool Circulation: Hydraulics, Thermodynamics, and the Machine Nobody Explains | The Pools Scientific Podcast

Every pool runs on the same hydraulic loop, suction, pump, filter, and returns, and almost nobody who owns one has ever had it explained. John Cooper walks through the real physics behind pump cavitation, why turning a pump up rarely fixes a dead spot, and how a simple piece of equipment most pool owners have never heard of uses pure physics to protect a cartridge filter. From there, the same water carries into thermodynamics: thermal stratification, evaporative cooling, and...
