Couldn't think of anything more original than "garyengr" back in the early 90's and have stuck with it. I'm on the road right now and don't have access to my file. I do not put a cover on my pool. Over the winter if I recall correctly, I was down to injecting maybe 20-30 oz of chlorine a day...

1. Which liquid chlorine dosing system do you use? (Stenner, other dosing pump, or Liquidator, etc.?) STENNER 2. Does your system respond to a sensor, or do you dial it in based on your drop-based testing? (drop-based, sensor, sensor and dial it in, etc.) DIAL IT IN 3. What is your current...

I worried about this during planning of my install. Other moderators on this site convinced me this was not an issue. The timer in my pump and the timer on the Stenner clocks are very accurate and maintain time accurately even during power outages. I have seen at most a +/- 1 minute change...

I run my stenner twice per day - 10am and 2pm, here in Tucson, AZ. This will be the second year I've had my stenner and I couldn't be happier. In the winter, I was dosing it about 18 oz/day. Mid March I increased to 27 oz when my FC began to drop below 7 (CYA 70). At the end of March I again...

Yes - I run my VS pump at about 1600 RPM from 6am to 5pm. As long as you have circulation when the stenner is delivering chlorine you should be fine. At low pump speeds the concentration of chlorine in the plumbing will be higher but the chlorine will be dispersed even at low pump speeds. Gary

Meyers: More information here than you posted in my thread. Leaking chlorine from the pump housing indicates a split/hole/crack in the pump tube after the first roller. A split/hole/crack in the pump tube before the first roller would result in a pump suction side leak which would prevent...

I assume by "..nothing seems to be pumping out.." you have disconnected the output line and verified with the pump running there is no flow. In this case the two most likely candidates are a plugged pickup or broken pump tube. (1) Disconnect the inlet line to the pump and blow through it. If...

Have been using a stenner pump and tank for 9 weeks now and am still extremely happy with the performance. The following is my latest FC data chart: I've added a prediction of chlorine demand which is a 7 day sliding average computed from projected tank chlorine strength (projected from...

I wait until there is about 2-3 gallons remaining and then refill. Gary

I have zero experience with indoor pools. Someone else should chime in. (1) If this is an indoor pool, why would you expect the chlorine consumption to require 1-2 gallons of chlorine (5%) per day? Your pool is listed in your signature line as being 25,000 gallons. I have a 20,000 gallon...

This is an update to my previous post. The TFP method has been working great for me. I have installed a Stenner and tank to automate chlorine dosing. Unfortunately, not all is rosy. Several commented on my first post about the big Saguaro we had by our pool. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I...

It is my understanding, the accuracy of the FC testing (w/10ml water sample), given it is done correctly, is 1/2 ppm (not sure if this is +/- 0.5ppm or +/- 0.25 ppm but will use +/- 0.25 ppm for what follows). Taking the difference of two measurements with an accuracy of +/- 0.25 ppm gives a...

9 days have gone by since I posted the last FC and dosing chart. Below find my current chart: Our temperature in Tucson has climbed and we have been hitting 104-109 highs for the last 9 days with lows of high 70's to low 80's. This has resulted in increased chlorine consumption and thus I...

I have been looking at stenner posts for a couple of weeks before I purchased and installed mine. I have not seen any mention of the type of noise you are having - therefore, it is likely you have a defective unit. If I were you, I would contact either: (1) Stenner Pump Manufacturer -...
