About Orenda Technologies
Water is a precious resource, and we strive to make it clean and beautiful. Orenda has a philosophy of minimalism, and proactive pool care. Why be proactive? Because prevention is always easier than correction, and we want to help educate the pool industry and pool owners about it. The vast majority of pool issues are preventable, and that's why we published our Four Pillars of Proactive Pool Care.
For many years, Orenda was primarily a speciality chemical manufacturer, building a business on quality, professional-grade products and reputation. We have since evolved into an education company. We have invested heavily in building the pool industry's leading mobile app and dosing calculator, have a library of helpful videos, and a growing list of educational articles in our blog. In 2019 we released Orenda Academy, which is another free resource for anyone to learn more about pool management.
We want to deliver the best water quality possible, with the fewest chemicals. The Orenda line of professional grade, eco-friendly speciality pool chemicals help our customers get there. But our chemicals merely complement our program, which is a series of improved habits and behaviors to optimize water management.
Let’s stop guessing and “eyeballing it”, and instead dial in our behavior and habits. Orenda is here to help.

Eric Knight (00:03): There's just something empowering about controlling water. We can own some of it for ourselves. After all, owning and operating a swimming pool means you are taming one of earth's most powerful elements, the same element that can destroy cities. And yet, the noise of it can help us sleep and relax, like the noise of rain or waves crashing on the beach. But if you're going to tame one of earth's most powerful elements in a swimming pool, you better treat that water right. Because if you don't, water will fight back. Too often, swimming pools are forced into water chemistry ranges that are not natural for water. And the textbook ranges often require over-treating water with chemicals. But I'm here to tell you there is a better way. Instead of trying to force water to conform to what we want it to do, how about we just better understand water itself and learn what it wants to do.
Eric Knight (00:58): I'm talking about ruling your pool the right way, which means balancing water chemistry on your terms, but doing so according to what the water needs. This is a minimalist, holistic approach to pool care that has proven great results in swimming pools all over the country. Hey everyone. My name is Eric Knight. I'm a competitive swimmer and a swimming pool connoisseur. I've got my 10,000 hours of swimming experience, and I've got the lung damage from years of swimming indoors to prove it. Since then, I've devoted my career to improving indoor pool air quality and water quality. You might know me from the Orenda videos online. and now, I'm the host of this show, Rule Your Pool, a podcast by Orenda. Rule Your Pool is a podcast for pool owners, operators, and service pros who want the best water quality possible.
Eric Knight (01:48): Well, if you want to know what's really going on with your swimming pool chemistry, this might be the podcast for you. Each week, we'll cover a new topic related to swimming pools, water chemistry, or indoor air quality. And from time to time, I'll have on subject matter experts that just tell it like it is. Some of the opinions are contrarian. And that's all fine, because it's all in the pursuit of truth. Everything I say is fact-checked and backed up in science and field experience. And we're confident in the information enough to publish it on the Orenda website, on our videos online, and now, here on a podcast.
