I would check Pinch a Penny Pool Supplies and Service, as they give pretty steep discounts for volume purchase of liquid chlorine (at lease the one I go to does). The location I go to sells 12% chlorine for $6/gallon if you buy by the gallon, but reduces that price to $3.75/gallon if you buy...

Mine does the same thing, and has since day 1. It's perfectly normal.

Mine is in location 2. Very simple install, no drilling... I've had it there for two and a half years now and it has worked perfectly.

I'v had my stenner for 2 1/2 years. it's fantastic. Haven't had an algae outbreak since putting it in. Having said that, I did have to rebuild the motor on mine because water got in and rusted the moving parts. The water came from my sprinkler systems that shot water under the pump's...

You're going to love it. But watch out, it can make you lazy. I checked my water every day prior to installing the stinner, and for about a year after installing it I did the same, but after a year or so of never needing to adjust my chemicals I got lazy and now only check it every week or...

I love my stenner. I went with the fixed rate 18 GPD pump and an intermatic digital timer to control its operation. I run it an hour and fifteen minutes every night resulting in the delivery of just shy of 1 gallon of bleach per day. If I have a large swimmer load I just push the button...

Thanks for the replies guys. Hopefully my cracking isn't an issue, but I think I better get a professional to check it out just to make sure.

My pool is about 7 years old and has started showing some cracks in the plaster. About how long does plaster last? Would it be normal to have some cracking in a pool that is only 7 years old?

How old is your pool? I too live south of the metroplex and also have cracks in my pool. My pool was built 7 years ago and I have two rather long hairline (4 and 8 feet long respectively) cracks in the plaster running along the wall of the pool. One runs vertical and one horizonal. I don't...

Same setup here, except I went with the P1353ME timer instead. I absolutely love it. I did end up having an electrician install mine though. Me and electricity don't mix.

Do you currently have an in-line chlorine feeded (a puck feeder)? If so, you can move the water inlet to the upper hole (you will have to get the longer feed hose for this though), and screw the chlorine injection valve into the lower hole. This is how I did mine. You don't have to drill...

Thanks guys.

I just installed my stenner/pump combo a few weeks ago. I bought the 120 volt version and chose to install it (in terms of electrical) via an in-use plug that is wired to my timer, rather than cut the plug off and wiring it directly to the timer. I did this because I was under the...

Try testing your CYA by first diluting the test water with 50% tap water. The test kits aren't very accurate teasting CYA levels over 100, so diluting the tested water with 50% tap water (which has no CYA in it) can give you a more accurate test result. The test procedure is to test the...
