I just converted to salt a few weeks ago. Estimated the salt incorrectly (pool volume must be a bit less than I always thought). I've read a little high salt doesn't damage anything but of course makes the water taste more salty. I'll leave it as is until it naturally comes down to 3200 PPM with...

My salt is a little high at 4200 PPM according to the aquarite 900 control panel, strips, and Taylor reagent. It's working perfectly for my 28,000-gallon pool, set at 50% and maintaining FC of 2-3 PPM. However when I switch the valves around to isolate the spa and turn on the heater to 101F...

This is very interesting that you guys don't seem to have as much build-up as me. Do you have plaster pools? I have a fairly high calcium level. I run my pump continually, at a low feed rate (~3.5 on the variable pump head). I wonder if it would make a difference to run it on a timer at a...

I've been running 12.5% bleach in my Stenner for a couple months now. It seems that I get a crystal buildup (salt? calcium?) mainly at the injection point, and it seems to go 1/2-3/4" into the dispensing line, completely blocking flow, and therefore causing the line to pop out of the ferrule at...

I'm having a problem with crystalline buildup at the end of the dispensing tube, which then blocks and causes the pump end to pop off from pressure buildup. Has anyone found a solution to this? I read that installing the check valve at the end of the dispensing tube, typically used for 25+ PSI...

Did you ever find a solution to the crystalline buildup? I'm encountering the exact same issue, using 1/4" tube without the check valve. Did you add a check valve? Did it help at all?

Here's the install I did today at my house. I put lots of detail in the description. It might help you!

Hey I just installed a Stenner pump today! Check out my short video. I put a lot of detail in the video description that should take help you out with what you need.

After researching non-stabilized chlorine tablets in an attempt to prevent my pool from getting nasty while away from home for several weeks, I stumbled upon a post on this forum talking about Stenner pumps. I was intrigued and started doing more research since the non-stabilized tablets...

Hi Everyone! I've been having some problems with my Hayward H400IDL pool heater. It's an old unit and quite a bit rusty inside, but it had been working fine for 6 months after buying this house. Then the blower motor went out (error code for no vacuum, etc.). I went to Leslie's and purchased a...
