Hi all, As mentioned and as some of you may know, I'm switching over from 3" tabs and testing strips over to liquid chlorine (via Stenner pump) and testing with the TF-100. Here are my first results: CYA 0 CH 75 TA 60 PH 7.5 CL 0 Notes: I'm using 30,000 gallon as my pool volume as...

Hi all, I just hooked up my Stenner 85MHP17 and tested with water. The pump does dispense water in what does appear to be a measured amount. However, I was under the impression it would be a pressurized stream. Am I off base? Also, I set up to run at night while the pool pump is running. This...

As I collect the parts for my system I thought I'd pass along a couple tips on acquiring components at a lower cost. Chlorine storage: I first checked a suggested Brewers' supply site for a low cost tank. However, they were out of stock. Ebay had some nice drums but shipping was prohibitive. I...

Hi: Just curious if a Classified section would be possible. I've seen on other forums and they seem to be quite popular. Thanks!

Counter to what I've read elsewhere it appears Stenner does not recommend the use of a Tee fitting at the injection site. Below is from the Stenner site. Thoughts appreciated. http://www.cleanwaterstore.com/mm5/graphics/cws1/stenner_recommend_install2.gif

Hi All: A friend gave me an Aquabot Bravo but with no power supply. I've been trying to identify the appropriate unit and have had no luck. My cleaner has the round, screw in connector and most others have the rectangular plug (like PC computer power connector) Does anyone know the model or...

When asking a question on an unrelated subject another member noticed that I used DWV long sweep elbows on a couple return lines. I'm going to replace tomorrow with sched 40 fittings. However, I may reconfigure my piping/equipment again next season. I was thinking that instead of cutting and...

Hi again, I'm in the final stages of wiring as the result of relocating my inground pool equipment. As some may recall, the original wiring was done to older / outdated code. For instance my 220v filter pump motor was (hard) wired without a ground and off a standard NON-GFCI breaker...this was...

Hi all: I need to replace the 120v Anthony niche light in my pool and I read in another forum where one could use the Pentair Intellbrite LED unit. The trick is to replace the larger Pentair face ring with the old Anthony face ring to make it fit. The unit I'm looking at is the Pentair...

Hi All: I'm replacing my 120v niche light with a Hayward Crystalogic LED unit. The model I'm getting is the 500w equivalent and requites 110 watts. This disqualifies the JBox conversions as they don't have high enough output. This leaves me with using a wall style transformer. I plan on...

Hi again all: I've made some good progress with the relocation of my pool equipment and have a couple questions regarding the timers and wiring. I'm guessing these timers are quite a few years old and seem to be similar to the current offerings from Intermatic. These timers have always...

Hi all: I'm relocating my pool equipment setup and in the process rerouting the electrical as well. In order to relocate the above ground junction box and avoid any type of splicing, the niche light wire which needs to be replaced with a longer section. This wire appears to run through a...

Hi all: I'm currently digging up all the gravel and dirt to expose the pipes leading to and from my pool equipment. I need to move all of it about 10 feet or so and I'd like to refresh, replace, rebuild or upgrade while I'm going through the trouble. I'm also removing all copper piping...

Hi All! I'm trying to clean / service the air blower which was originally installed with my Anthony pool/spa. Is anyone familiar with this unit? I'd like to get at/remove the motor but I'm thinking the unit may be glued together. What say you? Any help appreciated.

After rebuilding/reconfiguring my deck it's now necessary to move the pool equipment setup, as it's in the middle of a pathway. In the spring I'll replumb, upgrade, reconfigure and reposition the pump, filter, timers etc. My question is, would placing this all under a deck with approx 6' of...

So. after years of battling water, ice and debris on my solid cover, during the winter season, I figured I'd share some experiences. This is mostly thinking out loud type material..... Pumps: The heart of a clean cover... - I've gone back and forth between leaving my pump stationary and...

So, I did everything as advised on closing my 70's Anthony inground pool except dealing with the pools main drain line and the bottom/floor drain line of the attached "spa". Of two skimmers, the one closest to the filter/pump etc has the two holes at the bottom, one for suction (filter) and one...

I guess the title says it all. The plaster guys finished about an hour ago and started filling the pool with two of our garden hoses. They mentioned that rain may leave yellow streaks in the new plaster. Is this inevitable? Is it a stain that can be dealt with? Any way to prevent this from...

Hi All I'm just finishing up with the rebuilding/repairing of the brick/concrete deck around our Anthony Gunite pool. Since this work has taken much longer than anticipated we are opting to repair the dislodged coping stone on part of our pool as opposed to replacing all of the coping and tile...
