I decided to go with the Raspberry 5 solution, which cost an extra $115.32. My logic (as flawed as it is) is that if the ORP project fails, I will find another application to use the Pi 5 in. I couldn't power a fan from the Atlas Bare-bones kit. Considering I live in central Texas, the little...

I will share a recent email exchange between myself and an Atlas technical support engineer, Jordan. My goal of sharing is to put the information before your expert minds to discern. Remember that engineers may be a bit blunt, but the tone means no offense. I will add any further dialog to this...

How did you tap into the PVC? Did you use something similar to the drawing that I attached? If yes, where did you purchase them?

I wonder if the probe might perform better if installed in a Sampling Chamber rather than in line with the water flow, even in a reduced pipe size. I noticed that Pentair's ChemCheck and various Chlorine Analyzers probes seem to use sampling chambers. If the answer is yes, how do you source a...

What software are you using?

My goal for this project is to have a simple, reliable, and repairable monitoring hardware solution —a probe that can report a consistent number. The solution does not need to match the accuracy of the TF100; it just has to be consistent. The hardware is easily replaceable or upgradable. I don't...

Yes, sir, I do. I would prefer to go with CH265 pH / Free Chlorine Digital Controller - CHEMTROL

Greetings, I want to install ORP monitoring in my pool setup to supplement my TF100 testing. It sounds like a fun project to tackle. As I was surfing the forum, I noticed the use of Atlas Scientific parts. Scrolling through Atlas Scientific's website, I noticed they offer various kits. What are...

What advantage is there to go with the Atlas industrial vs. the lab probe?

Thank you for your quick response. Would the new style controller work on the old motor?

Well, I have been nursing this pump for a few years without the display. I tried to find the replacement controller 353251 which is very hard to find from a reputable seller. Old prices online are showing from the $800 and up. Should I go ahead and just replace the pump? If I replace the pump...

I am not using my pool equipment, I have a portable 1hp pool pump that I use when I use the old school vacuum. I discharge to the grass. Just looking for a way to improve the final cleanup before opening the pool for swimming. In the near future, I plan to add a cartridge filter to the portable...

I have had the issue dealing with two pecan trees that are over the pool. Each opening, I deal with the pods (and their little seeds) by skimmer socks. I started to look again for a way to get at these little seeds more agressively. I saw a product called APi Revive!. I did a quick search here...

Since I didn't know the cost of the solar circulation pump, I didn't know the ROI. Now that I know the basic numbers, I agree it does not make sense. It would have been a fun little project! :) I have my Intelliflo set to 1000 rpm and on the watt meter is from 130 to 150 watts. How can I do the...

Here is what I found so far: 6 GPM Solar Hot Water Pump - Can be run by a 25 Watt solar panel by US Solar Pumps ($147) (On the Amazon page, you have to select the 6.0 GPM Stainless pump) Amazon.com: 2.6 GPM Solar Hot Water Pump - Can be run by a 10 Watt solar panel: Home Improvement Renogy...

I love the Savior Pool Filter concept but not the price tag: Savior Solar Pool Pump and Filter. Nice, self contained unit. I don't like the pump tho. They use a Rule Bilge Pump which might last six months to a year. Yearly pump ($40 Amazon) replacement on top of the $500 is not sitting right...

This has been a topic that I have been kicking around for years. During the cooler months, I can get away with reduced hours on my main pool pump when the pool is not in use. I am researching ways to move water without using grid power. I am not wanting to filter the water, just move it. Do the...

Trust me, I have hauled my share of cases... :) Due to my very hard water, what's the next best option beside liquid?

I understand that liquid chlorine is the best but what would be the 2'nd, 3'rd choices to use? Since my bulk chlorine supplier is out of business, I am wondering what the next few options are. Reading up on some older posts, I am leaning towards Lithium Hypo. I have really hard water and I don't...

Installed the new VS pump this morning. The LCD display is not working well, pentair will be sending a tech over to replace it. It was working long enough for me to program a basic routine. Set the speed to 1200 rpm which yields me about 20 gpm (i installed a flow meter a few years back). Watts...

Re: Gunite Builders Austin TX & Is SWG Pools on their way ou Cody pools and no swg

I had a number of local folks ask me where you can get bleach besides Cosco or Sams in the Austin metro area... I didn't wish to release the name until Mitch gave me the green light. Here is where I get my 12%: Mitch Commercial Swim Management Hutto, TX 78634 Office - 512-244-7946...

6%.

Understood. I am just trying to prevent a $300 upgrade. I currently have a dual Intermatic mechanical timers. I would have to purchase a Intermatic Three Circuit Clock P1353ME. Which might entail other expenses.

I am impressed with my first Stenner. Now I am in the planning stage to purchase another for my muriatic delivery. Suggestions on the pump and feed rate? If all possible I want to control the feed on the same timer as my current Stenner which is for my chlorine. The tricky part with the Stenner...

Some where here I read that the Stenner pumps should have their feed output maxed out for longevity. I hear a ping as it turns. So with that in mind, I get 10 GPD when it's maxed out. So if I want to dispense say 2 gallons of chlorine a day with the pump fixed at 10 GPD, I would need to run...

I can't say I switched but I have both now. Just installed a Stenner yesterday so I can't give feedback yet. I have been running the Liquidator since 2007. No issues that are show stoppers. Off the top of my head, only two issues I had was 1) My VERY expensive Tygon tubing would pop off, for...

To be honest, I don't know my daily rate any more. I just fill up the Liquidator for the week and swim. Is there a formula that will assist me in knowing what I should be adding to maintain FC? The Pool Cal tells me what I need add if I know the beginning FC and what my target FC is. What if I...

Ok...pump installed. Waiting to connect output pending the usage of all the bleach from the liquidator. Question, how do I figure out how much bleach per day to start with? Figured I start with 4 gpd and adjust.

I just ordered a single head to feed my chlorine. If I decide to feed my muriatic acid, could i replace the single head with a dual? Any issue with one pumping chlorine and the other pumping muriatic acid? The injection points will be after the filter and as far apart as I can put them. The...
