Scaling UP! nation if you’ve been
following my favorite books you know
0:05.3
0:10.6
Napoleon Hills Think and Grow Rich is
among them in this book he analyzed what
0:10.6
0:15.7
successful people had in common and one
of these commonalities that he noted was
0:15.7
0:19.6
successful people meet with other
successful people
0:19.6
0:25.8
he then coined that meeting a mastermind
folks life is too hard to do it alone
0:25.8
0:32.4
and that is exactly what most of us are
doing starting in early 2020 I will be
0:32.4
0:38.6
launching our own mastermind called
Rising Tide the rising tide mastermind
0:38.6
0:43.8
is made up of small groups of
individuals with the focus on helping
0:43.8
0:50.0
each other succeed these groups will
include weekly video calls designed to
0:50.0
0:55.4
solve key issues quarterly book
discussions with action plans quarterly
0:55.4
1:02.8
one to ones with me a live event and so
much more I’ve personally been a member
1:02.8
1:09.4
of a mastermind for years and I know how
key being in a mastermind has been for
1:09.4
1:15.8
my own success and because of that I
know how key a group like this can be in
1:15.8
1:22.2
your success the rising tide mastermind
is currently accepting applications we
1:22.2
1:28.7
have very limited spots so go-to Scaling UP! h2o/mastermind to set up
1:28.7
1:37.1
a 15 minute call with me to see if this
is the key to your next level of success
1:46.9

welcome to Scaling UP! the podcast for
water treaties by water treaters where
1:51.5
1:56.3
we’re Scaling UP! on knowledge so we do
not Scale UP! our systems
1:56.3
2:02.2
hello Scaling UP! nation Trace Blackmore
here happy Friday the thirteenth you
2:02.2
2:07.0
know we’ve had another Friday the 13th
this year it was in September and that
2:07.0
2:13.9
was episode 103 and that was when we
were talking about what fears us water
2:13.9
2:19.0
treaters have well we’re not going to be
talking about fears today unless you are
2:19.0
2:26.3
afraid of evaluating your successes and
your failures for this year so I hope
2:26.3
2:31.4
you’re not because here is your homework
I want you to write down all of the
2:31.4
2:36.9
winds that you had for this year and
then I want you to go back and figure
2:36.9
2:43.4
out why they were winds what did you
have to do in order to make those winds
2:43.4
2:49.8
then I want you to do the exact same
thing for your losses what were the
2:49.8
2:55.2
goals that you had this year that you
weren’t able to achieve and what were
2:55.2
3:01.0
some of the things that were in your way
from achieving those goals on the very
3:01.0
3:06.6
last episode of the year we’re gonna be
looking at these things that you wrote
3:06.6
3:14.1
down and we’re going to figure out how
we can better goal set for next year so
3:14.1
3:19.6
we are going to go into goal-setting and
we’re going to make sure that 2020 is as
3:19.6
3:25.5
strong as it can be I’m going to give
you some tools to help you do that and I
3:25.5
3:28.9
want you to remember Tony Robbins I
think everybody knows who Tony Robbins
3:28.9
3:33.5
is he’s like 11 feet tall he says
setting goals is the first step into
3:33.5
3:40.2
turning the invisible into visible so
think about that quote for a second what
3:40.2
3:46.2
do we see why do we want to achieve a
particular goal and can we actually
3:46.2
3:52.7
visualize ourselves doing that so not
only getting there but what are all the
3:52.7
3:57.2
things that we have to do in between and
what are the things that are going to
3:57.2
4:01.5
get in our
way while we are trying to achieve those
4:01.5
4:04.7
goals so those are the things that we’re
going to be talking about on the last
4:04.7
4:11.1
episode now here’s the other thing that
I would like for you to consider to do
4:11.1
4:15.9
and I know this is very non water
treatment like but I can tell you that
4:15.9
4:20.3
this something that has helped me
tremendously now what am I talking about
4:20.3
4:28.1
I’m talking about I want you to consider
journaling yes I said journaling I truly
4:28.1
4:36.0
believe that we are programmed the way
the world is today to focus on negative
4:36.0
4:43.1
items all you have to do is turn the
news on for five minutes and you will
4:43.1
4:48.7
see a barrage of negative stories it
seems like that is what the world is
4:48.7
4:55.4
looking for these days is what negative
is going on folks when that is what we
4:55.4
5:01.5
are looking for and that’s what we see
on a day to day basis we start thinking
5:01.5
5:06.6
in the negative and I know when we’re
talking about goal setting if we’re in
5:06.6
5:12.9
the negative mindset folks that stuff is
never going to come true also when we’re
5:12.9
5:19.2
in the negative mindset we are not where
we are at our best and there is a tool
5:19.2
5:25.3
that I have used that’s called the 5
minute journal and I know most of you
5:25.3
5:29.7
out there are thinking that I’m nuts
even suggesting that you start
5:29.7
5:35.2
journaling but here’s the thing the
people at the five-minute journal have
5:35.2
5:41.5
taken several books and articles and
condense them down into an executive
5:41.5
5:49.0
briefing on what you need to know about
journaling they’ve even gone further to
5:49.0
5:54.0
boil those down into five daily
questions and it’s these five questions
5:54.0
6:00.8
that you’re going to journal around this
process helps you focus on gratitude it
6:00.8
6:06.7
sets the direction of your day and it
allows you to reflect on all of the good
6:06.7
6:12.1
things that has happened during your day
folks there is just
6:12.1
6:18.3
something that happens to the human mind
when we prime it to be positive trust me
6:18.3
6:24.6
I have done this and I know that it
works in fact the person that gave me
6:24.6
6:30.3
the five-minute journal was Tim Fulton
folks you know how highly I think of my
6:30.3
6:35.6
business coach Tim Fulton well he
suggested I do that I thought he was
6:35.6
6:41.2
nuts because I am NOT a journaling
person but I decided that I was going to
6:41.2
6:47.8
do that and it really does change what
you’re looking for again if all you’re
6:47.8
6:53.4
doing is experiencing negative that’s
what you are going to find this gets you
6:53.4
6:57.5
into a better mindset so I know what
you’re wondering how do you get your own
6:57.5
7:01.7
copy of the five minute journal well
that’s easy I’ve created an affiliate
7:01.7
7:07.4
link for you to go to it’s Scaling UP!
h2o dot com forward slash journal and
7:07.4
7:11.9
that will take you to an Amazon
affiliate link so you can get the
7:11.9
7:15.9
journal now if you’re wondering what an
affiliate link is that is a link that
7:15.9
7:20.7
will cost you absolutely nothing but
Amazon will pay me a small commission
7:20.7
7:26.2
because I initiated you buying the
five-minute journal so again that’s
7:26.2
7:30.7
Scaling UP! h2o dot-com forward slash
journal we’re gonna be talking about
7:30.7
7:36.9
that next year in one of our first shows
and I know it’s something that you are
7:36.9
7:42.7
going to like nation is you know we rely
on our members of the Scaling UP! nation
7:42.7
7:48.1
to help us out with questions to answer
on this show what today’s question comes
7:48.1
7:55.4
from Eric Russo of episode 111 I trace
Eric Russo here and my question for you
7:55.4
7:59.9
today is about estimating the volume of
a closed loop system I understand you
7:59.9
8:03.7
can measure the length and diameter of
the piping but is there a way to
8:03.7
8:09.6
correlate the GPM on the recirculating
pump to the volume of the closed-loop
8:09.6
8:15.1
system and does that vary if it’s a
chill loop system or a hot loop system
8:15.1
8:21.6
also is there any way to calculate the
volume based off of the hot water boiler
8:21.6
8:25.9
output thanks for your insight
take care well Eric thank
8:25.9
8:31.5
you so much for that question and if you
have ever been in a class that I’ve
8:31.5
8:38.0
taught on math you’ve heard me address
rules of thumb and it sounds like you
8:38.0
8:44.3
are asking me to address some rules of
thumb that we have in the industry well
8:44.3
8:48.1
if you’ve been to one of my classes you
know when we talk about rules of thumb I
8:48.1
8:53.6
have everybody put up their hands and
then we try to count how many thumbs we
8:53.6
8:59.2
have in the room do you get my point
rules of thumb depending on who’s giving
8:59.2
9:04.0
you that rule of thumb they’re going to
be different in fact if you have as few
9:04.0
9:09.2
as two water treaters in the same room I
promise you that you’re gonna get two
9:09.2
9:15.1
separate opinions on how to do things so
with that in mind Eric I don’t place a
9:15.1
9:22.6
lot of value on rules of thumb and I
know some people can get volume based on
9:22.6
9:29.0
pump RPMs or boiler horsepower I’ve just
never been able to do this and I know
9:29.0
9:34.5
that there are engineering calculations
for how much volume is in the system and
9:34.5
9:39.1
how big a pump and how big a boiler
needs to be and I have to tell you even
9:39.1
9:44.8
though that there are calculations for
that I can see the same equipment in
9:44.8
9:50.6
different facilities and they have
vastly different volumes I have never
9:50.6
9:57.9
been able to make rules of thumb work
with all that said there’s only one way
9:57.9
10:02.7
that I feel confident sharing with you
to get the volume on a closed loop
10:02.7
10:08.3
system and that’s calculating the system
volume off all the pipes and the sumps
10:08.3
10:14.2
and everywhere that water is in and then
once you do that we are going to add an
10:14.2
10:22.6
on scaling ion to figure out exactly how
much water is in that system now here is
10:22.6
10:29.9
the warning for the show so folks if you
are scared of math please turn the
10:29.9
10:36.5
podcast off now because we are going to
talk about math on this show and as you
10:36.5
10:39.8
know I teach math for the association of
water Tecna
10:39.8
10:47.2
and a request that I get all the time is
traced why don’t you teach math on your
10:47.2
10:52.5
podcast well the reason I don’t teach
math on the podcast is quite frankly it
10:52.5
10:57.8
scares me because I know you all are
driving out there and now all of a
10:57.8
11:02.0
sudden I’m going to be talking about
math and I’m just worried about the
11:02.0
11:07.8
collateral damage that’s going to happen
so if you are not able to drive and
11:07.8
11:15.2
listen to math please take my warning
and listen to next week’s episode but
11:15.2
11:19.5
we’re going to do it we’re gonna try it
let’s go ahead and talk about some math
11:19.5
11:25.4
so here’s what I like to do if I have
access to drawings and by the way we
11:25.4
11:31.7
normally get access to as built drawings
and I have never seen as built drawings
11:31.7
11:39.7
actually be as the system was actually
built never not once so keep that in
11:39.7
11:45.2
mind but if we have drawings we can add
up all the linear feet of pipe in each
11:45.2
11:50.5
pipe diameter that we have and then we
can calculate the estimated volume so
11:50.5
11:54.6
this means we’re going to have separate
calculations for each pipe size so if we
11:54.6
11:59.6
have so many hundred feet of 3-inch pipe
so many hundred feet of 6-inch pipe so
11:59.6
12:04.3
many hundred feet of 8-inch pipe you’re
gonna have a different line item for
12:04.3
12:08.8
each one of those and then you’re simply
going to add all those up to figure out
12:08.8
12:13.6
what the volume is in the system if
you’ve got some you’re going to count
12:13.6
12:18.8
that as well so this is how we would do
that let’s say we have two hundred feet
12:18.8
12:23.9
of 6-inch pipe and here it is folks here
some calculations we’re going right into
12:23.9
12:31.8
the math so the calculation you need is
pi times the radius squared times our
12:31.8
12:39.1
length of pipe times seven point four
eight now that seven point four eight is
12:39.1
12:46.6
our conversion number that gets us into
how many gallons is in a cubic foot now
12:46.6
12:52.7
that means all of our numbers have to be
in feet and we measure pipe in inches
12:52.7
12:57.0
so another math alert we’re going to
have a conversion coming up the radius
12:57.0
13:03.6
typically is 1/2 the diameter of the
pipe at first glance you might think
13:03.6
13:11.6
that a 6-inch pipe would have a radius
of 3 but take a look at the calculation
13:11.6
13:17.2
that I just mentioned and that is in
feet so we have to convert everything
13:17.2
13:25.3
from inches into feet so 6 inches if we
convert that into feet that would be 0.5
13:25.3
13:36.3
feet now half of 0.5 would be 0.25 feet
and that is the radius of our 6-inch
13:36.3
13:43.3
pipe the calculation says that we have
to square it so that’s 0.25 times 0.25
13:43.3
13:51.0
that’s going to equal point 0 6 2 5
folks you asked me to do math you got it
13:51.0
13:56.5
I hope you are keeping up and I hope I’m
doing a good job explaining this to you
13:56.5
14:02.7
so just to catch you up our calculation
is pi times the radius squared times the
14:02.7
14:10.7
length of pipe in feet times r 7.48
where the 7.48 is how many gallons is in
14:10.7
14:17.2
a cubic foot so what we just did is we
figured out the conversion of our 6-inch
14:17.2
14:21.7
pipe we figured out what the radius was
and now we just figured out what the
14:21.7
14:28.0
radius squared was so now we’re just
going to plug that in we said we had 200
14:28.0
14:31.1
feet of this pipe so I’m just going to
go through the equation and put
14:31.1
14:40.3
everything in so our 3.14 which is pi
times our point 0 6 to 5 times our 200
14:40.3
14:46.1
feet and then whatever that equals we’re
going to multiply that by our factor of
14:46.1
14:50.8
7.48 and we’re going to learn that
there’s two hundred and ninety three
14:50.8
14:59.3
point six gallons in this particular
length of pipe now if we had a 8 inch
14:59.3
15:03.5
pipe or a 12 inch pipe we’re going to do
the same exact thing for all of those
15:03.5
15:08.5
will add
up and then that will be our total
15:08.5
15:15.3
estimated gallons and yes I said
estimated gallons and I know you’re not
15:15.3
15:19.7
happy with that Eric was very specific
and asking your question he wants a
15:19.7
15:26.1
precise answer an estimated does not
sound precise well here’s what we’re
15:26.1
15:32.5
going to do we’re going to use that
estimation to get a more defendable
15:32.5
15:38.4
number and this is how we are going to
get it we are going to use compound
15:38.4
15:44.8
addition to get a more exact number
compound addition means we are going to
15:44.8
15:52.0
add a known weight of an on scaling ion
into the system and then we’re going to
15:52.0
15:58.3
use our test kit to calculate the volume
we’re gonna figure out how much whatever
15:58.3
16:03.6
we added added to the system and we have
another equation that will tell us how
16:03.6
16:08.2
many gallons that you have in the system
now that sounds pretty cool I know you
16:08.2
16:13.6
were all wondering how we do this but
before we get there there are a few
16:13.6
16:20.3
rules that we have to use in this
calculation first the entire system
16:20.3
16:27.4
needs to be open nothing can be valid
off no parts of the system can be off we
16:27.4
16:32.6
have to have flow through a hundred
percent of the system you might have to
16:32.6
16:37.5
work with the controls engineer to make
sure that all of the parts of the system
16:37.5
16:45.2
are open if they are not open we can’t
distribute our compound to those areas
16:45.2
16:50.8
and we’re not going to get a correct
system volume the other item that we
16:50.8
16:56.7
need rule number two is the system must
remain circulating during the entire
16:56.7
17:01.7
time that we are doing this so again we
might have to speak to our controls
17:01.7
17:07.9
engineer to make sure that they bypass
the pumps so we have circulation all the
17:07.9
17:14.0
way through this process the third rule
is we must have a residual of the
17:14.0
17:20.3
compound that we are adding in the
system already available within the
17:20.3
17:27.3
system so for example if we are using
nitrite as our addition compound we
17:27.3
17:32.2
should already have nitrite in the
system and it should have been in there
17:32.2
17:36.9
long enough to make sure that that
nitride has passivated all the different
17:36.9
17:43.0
parts of the systems so the nitrite that
we add will be extra available nitrite
17:43.0
17:49.1
not nitrite that’s going to attach to
the metal that is very important the
17:49.1
17:55.9
last rule that we need to do to do this
procedure correctly is we need to
17:55.9
18:01.1
understand our test we need to take out
our test literature and make sure we
18:01.1
18:06.9
understand what type of test it is how
it tests and how to augment the test
18:06.9
18:11.7
ranges I’m gonna tell you a little bit
about how to do that but I don’t know
18:11.7
18:17.4
what test you are using you need to
understand your test well now I just
18:17.4
18:23.0
mentioned nitrite in a closed-loop
system I love using sodium nitrite in a
18:23.0
18:27.9
closed-loop system because nine times
out of ten we’re already using it as our
18:27.9
18:35.1
corrosion inhibitor however if there is
no nitrite in the system once again if
18:35.1
18:40.0
we add it that is going to get absorbed
in the system and it’s not going to
18:40.0
18:45.8
allow us to get a proper number so we
might actually have to pretreat the
18:45.8
18:51.4
system so we have a normal nitrite
residual and make sure that we don’t
18:51.4
18:56.4
have any leaks in the system that the
nitrite is holding properly and then we
18:56.4
19:00.8
can do this addition compound now you’re
probably asking yourself how much
19:00.8
19:05.2
nitrite do I add in the system and folks
when I’m referring to nitrite I’m
19:05.2
19:10.9
referring to sodium nitrite so remember
that estimation that we did with the
19:10.9
19:15.9
pipe math well we’re going to take that
number and we’re going to divide it by a
19:15.9
19:21.2
thousand gallons and whatever that
number is we’re gonna add one pound per
19:21.2
19:25.7
thousand now can you add more sure
you’re just going to be titrating more
19:25.7
19:30.1
can you add less sure you just might not
have a
19:30.1
19:35.7
enough in the system to get an accurate
test I found that one pound per thousand
19:35.7
19:41.5
works pretty darn good but you are
welcome to use whatever you like we need
19:41.5
19:47.3
to make sure that we pre dissolve all of
the sodium nitrite the reason for that
19:47.3
19:53.0
we don’t want any undissolved particles
to hang out in any low flow areas and
19:53.0
19:58.5
not add to the addition of sodium
nitrite in our system so the easiest way
19:58.5
20:02.2
to do that is to get a five-gallon
bucket to get some hot water and
20:02.2
20:08.2
dissolve your sodium nitrite once that’s
dissolved what you’re going to want to
20:08.2
20:14.8
do is you’re going to want to get your
first sample so without you pouring the
20:14.8
20:20.6
dissolved nitrite into the system you’re
going to grab the starting solution of
20:20.6
20:25.9
the system and just cap that off and we
can test it later that’s going to be the
20:25.9
20:30.9
starting point how much nitrite do we
have in the system before we do anything
20:30.9
20:37.0
to it next we’re going to put the
dissolve sodium nitrite solution into
20:37.0
20:43.8
this system now folks my advice is that
you do this all in one shot
20:43.8
20:51.2
what could happen is you might have some
non transported high concentration
20:51.2
20:56.9
sodium nitrite in your feeder and when
you go to open that up to drain it to
20:56.9
21:01.7
put the second slug in you’re
accidentally draining out some of that
21:01.7
21:06.3
nitrite solution you do not want to do
that so if you can just get it in there
21:06.3
21:12.2
all in one slug you won’t have to worry
about that by the way if that happens
21:12.2
21:17.6
the system will result at a higher
number than it actually is and the whole
21:17.6
21:24.3
point of this is to do this as precise
as you can so you can have a defendable
21:24.3
21:31.5
number when you add products into the
system the next question I know that you
21:31.5
21:37.8
are asking is how long do I let the
system circulate and I can hear you
21:37.8
21:42.6
asking it and I can hear my friend Jim
Luca nitch answering your question and
21:42.6
21:45.5
he would
probably say something like just enough
21:45.5
21:50.8
and all you need so here’s the deal
folks it’s going to be specific to each
21:50.8
21:58.4
system however I have found that 24 to
48 hours normally is plenty of time now
21:58.4
22:05.0
you know what the pump is producing as
far as circulation you should have your
22:05.0
22:09.3
estimated volume you should be able to
figure out how many revolutions that
22:09.3
22:14.5
you’re gonna have in a specific time
period to make sure that everything gets
22:14.5
22:20.1
evenly distributed within the system so
if you want to do that by math you’ve
22:20.1
22:24.9
got everything you need in order to do
that but typically unless it’s a super
22:24.9
22:30.8
super large system something like 24 to
48 hours should be fine
22:30.8
22:37.7
now if you are not sure and you go back
in 24 hours well take another test in 48
22:37.7
22:42.6
hours if they’re exactly the same you
know that that system has done
22:42.6
22:47.7
everything it could with the addition of
the sodium nitrite now there’s probably
22:47.7
22:51.2
somebody out there saying but trace if
there’s a leak we’re not gonna get a
22:51.2
22:55.8
good answer and folks you’re right if
there’s a leak this will not work we
22:55.8
23:02.4
must have a tight system with no leaks
in order for this procedure to work now
23:02.4
23:06.6
we’re gonna start talking about our
tests and specifically we’re going to be
23:06.6
23:11.5
talking about the nitrite test and I
want you to go look at your test kit and
23:11.5
23:19.1
figure out if you have a nitrite test or
you have a sodium nitrite test and yes
23:19.1
23:26.2
folks there is a difference and you
really need to know which one it is that
23:26.2
23:31.8
you are using I really like using the
sodium nitrite test because there’s no
23:31.8
23:36.9
conversion I’m putting sodium nitrite in
I’m letting the sodium nitrite totally
23:36.9
23:42.4
dissolve and distribute within the
system and then I’m testing for sodium
23:42.4
23:48.3
nitrite it’s an easier test to run but
folks the conversion isn’t hard and I
23:48.3
23:53.0
will tell you how to do that
folks figuring out this conversion from
23:53.0
23:56.8
sodium nitrite to nitrate is not too
difficult
23:56.8
24:01.4
but again it’s more math and I’m going
to tell you that in just a second but I
24:01.4
24:05.7
want to get a little bit more through
this procedure when we’re running our
24:05.7
24:09.8
tests and again we’re going to want to
run our tests before we put anything in
24:09.8
24:14.7
the system and then after we’re sure
that it’s been distributed thoroughly
24:14.7
24:20.0
throughout the system now most of our
test kits if you’re using a drop count
24:20.0
24:26.5
one drop equals fifty on a five mil
sample well folks I just don’t think 50
24:26.5
24:34.2
ppm per drop is enough for this testing
procedure so if we were to go up to a 10
24:34.2
24:41.4
mil sample that same drop will now yield
25 parts per million of nitrite per drop
24:41.4
24:48.7
or in our case sodium nitrite if we did
20 mils then that same drop will yield
24:48.7
24:55.6
12.5 ppm of our sodium nitrite or
whatever our test is and then 50 mils
24:55.6
25:03.3
will yield 5 ppm of our sodium nitrite
now I bet you’re wondering how I did
25:03.3
25:08.7
that and this is just simple algebra
folks take the new volume you want to
25:08.7
25:15.7
use and divide it into the original
volume then divide that number into the
25:15.7
25:22.9
standard ppm drop count your answer will
be the new ppm per drop with that new
25:22.9
25:28.5
volume size and folks that is something
that I came up with and I am sharing to
25:28.5
25:35.2
you because I want to raise the quality
of what we’re able to do out there in
25:35.2
25:41.6
the field some might say a rising tide
raises all boats and I hope that little
25:41.6
25:46.9
equation that I’ve come up with will
help you with your testing procedures
25:46.9
25:52.5
now you can do that with any titration
it has to be a titration folks if it’s
25:52.5
25:58.2
not a titration it’s not going to work
so just keep that in mind so let’s go
25:58.2
26:04.0
back to our procedure we have put the
nitrite into the system we’ve allowed it
26:04.0
26:09.2
to circulate for the time that we feel
comfortable we’ve run some tests so we
26:09.2
26:13.1
know what the big
getting nitrite level was before we ever
26:13.1
26:17.9
put anything into the system and now
after we’ve let it circulate for
26:17.9
26:23.1
whatever amount of time we chose we know
what that final nitrite is so what we’re
26:23.1
26:28.5
going to do we’re gonna subtract the
original number we came up with from the
26:28.5
26:34.5
final number and that’s going to tell us
how much nitrite or sodium nitrite
26:34.5
26:41.0
depending on what your test is that we
have in the system based on the addition
26:41.0
26:46.9
and now we’ve got some math now here’s
what we know we know exactly how much
26:46.9
26:52.9
sodium nitrite we added in the system
and we know how much extra sodium
26:52.9
26:59.4
nitrite that actually put into the
system so we can now use one of our
26:59.4
27:06.3
water treatment equations to figure out
how many gallons is in the system now
27:06.3
27:12.0
here is the equation it’s a hundred and
twenty thousand times the pounds of
27:12.0
27:19.6
sodium nitrite we added in the system
divided by how much sodium nitrite we
27:19.6
27:26.3
actually added by that addition and
that’s it we simply do the math and that
27:26.3
27:32.0
will tell us how many gallons that are
in our system now let’s say for example
27:32.0
27:37.8
you were using a nitrite test and not a
sodium nitrite test you will then need
27:37.8
27:43.6
to compensate for the fact that you
added pounds of sodium nitrite but your
27:43.6
27:51.3
tests can only test for nitrite and to
do that the addition that you got from
27:51.3
27:58.0
adding the sodium nitrite in the system
you’re simply going to multiply that by
27:58.0
28:04.5
1.5 and that will put that in the right
number for you I bet you’re wondering
28:04.5
28:10.2
how I knew to do that well it’s because
I understand how to use the periodic
28:10.2
28:14.6
table and I know you’re thinking I got
out of high school chemistry I got out
28:14.6
28:18.6
of college chemistry and I was pretty
sure that someone told me I was never
28:18.6
28:23.4
going to have to use the periodic table
again well folks the periodic
28:23.4
28:28.1
can be our friend so let’s look at how I
did that
28:28.1
28:33.9
nitrite is one nitrogen and if we look
at the atomic weight we find that the
28:33.9
28:39.7
atomic weight is 14
well nitrite is also two oxygens oxygens
28:39.7
28:49.6
atomic weight is 16 so 16 times 2 is 32
32 plus our nitrogen of 14 gives us a
28:49.6
28:57.0
total molecular weight of 46
so nitrites molecular weight is 46 now
28:57.0
29:04.6
sodium nitrite has sodium plus our
nitrite so we already know that nitrite
29:04.6
29:10.1
is 46 and if we were to look on the
periodic table we would find sodium as
29:10.1
29:18.1
23 so 23 plus 46 is 69 now here’s the
formula we’re going to use to figure out
29:18.1
29:25.1
what we need to multiply our final test
result by to get it in the proper form
29:25.1
29:31.3
that we added sodium nitrite but we only
have a nitrite test our formula is what
29:31.3
29:39.6
we added divided by what we test it so
69 divided by 46 equals one point five
29:39.6
29:45.4
and hey folks that’s how we got that one
point five and you thought you would
29:45.4
29:50.7
never use the periodic table again well
let’s go back to our original equation
29:50.7
29:57.6
so our equation one more time for volume
is a hundred and twenty thousand times
29:57.6
30:03.5
the pounds of sodium nitrite added
divided by the sodium nitrite ppm that
30:03.5
30:09.7
we acquired from our addition process
now I know you’re probably wondering how
30:09.7
30:14.5
we get that hundred and twenty thousand
and folks I really think you’ve done
30:14.5
30:19.2
very well this episode with the math
that I’ve thrown at you so I don’t
30:19.2
30:23.8
necessarily want to go into proving
where the hundred and twenty thousand
30:23.8
30:30.8
comes from but for now know that it is a
simplified form of one of the water
30:30.8
30:34.7
treatment axioms that we use and that
axiom is one
30:34.7
30:41.1
pound of anything and a thousand gallons
of water will yield a hundred and twenty
30:41.1
30:45.0
parts per million
well nation how did I do that was the
30:45.0
30:51.8
first time I have ever done math on the
show and it was some complex math so I
30:51.8
30:58.4
want to have these equations on my show
notes page so by all means go to the
30:58.4
31:04.6
show notes page and you will see these
equations I hope this helps and Eric I
31:04.6
31:08.8
do hope that this answers your question
even though I went about it in a
31:08.8
31:13.7
slightly different way than what you
requested I just don’t like rules of
31:13.7
31:19.9
thumb I’ve never been able to get them
to work consistently Nation do you have
31:19.9
31:25.4
a question for me that you want me to
answer on Scaling UP! h2o will share it
31:25.4
31:27.9
with me
do not keep that locked up inside your
31:27.9
31:35.1
head just like Eric did go to Scaling UP!
h2o com and click on the voice mail tab
31:35.1
31:41.3
and you can record your own voice asking
your question in the beginning of the
31:41.3
31:46.7
show we started talking about goals and
we’re going to continue with your
31:46.7
31:52.9
homework on the very last episode of
this year so in the meantime I want to
31:52.9
31:57.7
remind you of your homework write down
all of the wins that you have had for
31:57.7
32:06.0
this year and look to see why that they
were wins do the exact same thing with
32:06.0
32:14.3
your losses and figure out what got in
your way so they were not wins too folks
32:14.3
32:19.3
if you can figure losses out and what
was getting in your way you can quickly
32:19.3
32:25.3
turn those in to wins and with that
information in hand I promise we’re
32:25.3
32:30.9
gonna put that into good use on our last
show for 2019
32:30.9
32:37.3
I also asked you to go to Scaling UP! h2o
com forward slash journal to get a copy
32:37.3
32:43.7
of the five-minute journal I’ll be doing
a show next year on the journal and I
32:43.7
32:47.7
will share how I have been personally
using it and what
32:47.7
32:54.2
it has done for me folks trust me this
is something that can help your mindset
32:54.2
33:00.4
so be sure to get your copy by going to
Scaling UP! h2o dot-com forward slash
33:00.4
33:06.8
journal something else you’ll want to do
is tune in next week because i’m going
33:06.8
33:13.3
to be speaking with psychologist
Kathleen Edelman about temperaments now
33:13.3
33:17.4
you’re probably wondering what the heck
are temperaments well folks we’re going
33:17.4
33:23.5
to talk all about temperaments and I’m
going to share with you how I have
33:23.5
33:29.3
worked with Kathleen this year and the
reason I am bringing this to you as one
33:29.3
33:38.2
of my last episodes of 2019 is because
this hands down was the most effective
33:38.2
33:47.3
thing that I have done this year to help
every single relationship that I have in
33:47.3
33:55.9
my life now what she does is she teaches
you how to use better words when you are
33:55.9
34:01.9
talking with people and I know that
sounds weird but folks when I say that
34:01.9
34:08.1
what she has taught me has been
tremendous I know that you are going to
34:08.1
34:15.7
enjoy this interview and it truly has
helped me in all areas of my life and I
34:15.7
34:22.0
can’t wait to bring that show to you and
that is exactly what I am going to do
34:22.0
34:27.8
next week on Scaling UP! h2o
