    Crazy Chlorine Puck Question / Stenner pump feeder / BBB

    Ok I use the BBB method. Working great for years... I use 2 stenner pumps on timers feeding liquid chlorine and acid. What would happen if I fill a big tub of chlorine pucks with water, and stick the feed hose in connected to my stenner pump? Insane? Blow up? Death? Or the opposite...

    Adding Baja Shelf to existing Pool - Scottsdale AZ

    From what I'm hearing adding a pool shelf may not be a reasonable project for us. This pool is pretty small, but don't want a massive expense right now. I'm on a premium lot so I do what a bit of wow factor in this little pool... Does this sound reasonable? Any suggestions for this pool...

    Adding Baja Shelf to existing Pool - Scottsdale AZ

    Just bought a new house with a less then spectacular pool. How difficult is it to add a baja shelf, let's say 10 x 20 to an existing pool where the pool would be expanded and give the pool a larger feel? Obviously the existing structure would need to be compromised, then we would like the...

    My pool is 15000 gallons. Yes I'm thinking I'd continually move water through the tank and place it on an unused patio next to the pool in the sun. I'm in Scottsdale AZ.

    Portable Gas Pool Heater? Is it possible?

    Thanks for the info! Yes propane cost would be the same if it was a permanent vs. portable system. My house runs on Propane so I fill these tanks about once a year.

    Portable Gas Pool Heater? Is it possible?

    I'd love to hear exactly why it would not be 'worth it'... I don't see the cost or difficulty to be much at all from what I'm thinking...

    Portable Gas Pool Heater? Is it possible?

    The only mobile pool heating service I can find is Cox pool heating in Florida. I think most people use their pool heater just a few times a year and most of the time the equipment just sits there degrading in the elements. At least my friends. A portable system would be ideal. I'd like to...

    Portable Gas Pool Heater? Is it possible?

    Would I be able to set up a portable propane pool heater setup? I'm thinking I only need to heat my pool on special occasions here in Arizona and can keep it out of the elements most of the year and keep it in pristine condition. I'd like to use a Propane pool heater, and a separate pool pump...

    Stenner with built in 7 day timer - Should I buy it?

    Hi guys, I see many use Stenner pumps with an added timer on this side that the pump is plugged into. Why not just buy the Stenner pump with the built in programmable 7 day timer for metered doses of chlorine or acid? I'm looking to buy a Stenner pump and this seems to be a good solution...

    Can I use a pop up rotating cleaner jet, as a regular return jet?

    I have the 'circulator', but it will stop rotating from time to time. The smallest speck or grit will jam it. A 'pop up' head seemed to be a good alternative if I could just screw one in...
