You’re quite right. Heater won’t turn on until it senses flow (pressure) and water temp hasn’t reached set point. If the pump is switched off while the heater burner is still on, a built-in “fireman switch” continues to run the pump for 20 minutes to provide a cool-down transition before...

My heater/circulation pump/booster pump/Stenner pump setup: I have a Jandy Lite 2 Heater equipped with the optional Jandy relay, which facilitates operating the heater in what they call the "Internal Time Clock" mode. The on-off duty cycle for the main pump is thus set up and controlled by...

I'm in the process of doing some replumbing to improve accessibility and replace some troublesome ball valves. My pool is in-ground and the equipment is all below water level (no pump priming issues). I have a DIY Stenner chlorine injection system, plumbed into the return line, which has been...

Looks like a winner! I found them more reasonably-priced on Ebay. This should do the trick. Thanks

I’m wondering if there isn’t some kind of a “shot” dispenser, a bottle which would pour 1 oz at a time.

OK, all you spa Dichlor/Bleach practitioners, I’m curious as to how you actually add bleach to your hot tub on a regular basis. My wife and I are senior citizens and more than a little shaky when it comes to pouring out and adding a couple ounces of Clorox bleach to the tub. Historically...

How about using a solid tarp with a few grommet holes around the center to let water through? Would this not be the same, effectively, as a solid cover with a mesh panel in the middle? If water level rises in the pool over the winter (as it does in my case, in the Seattle area), I simply...

I'm in Seattle with an in-ground pool. Over the wet winter months, my pool generally GAINS water rather than loses. During the warmer part of the year, I use a solar cover when the pool temp is above 60 and more susceptible to algae growth. After the pool temp drops below 60 and I can cut way...

Based on the excellent information shared by members of this forum, I have joined the “satisfied customer” list by installing a liquid chlorine injection system, using the 15-gallon drum and the Stenner pump that several others have used. My setup is shown in the following photos: As you...

Ken, I've been using Simplepool Pro for about 6 weeks and really like it. Unfortunately, I can't keep up with future updates as I have a phone that is stuck on Android 2.1. In order to keep current with SimplePool as it evolves, I've been considering getting a different phone or, possibly, a...

Is there any way (short of making an additional new data entry) of correcting a saved set of measurements? An erroneous piece of data sort of screws up the graphing history, unless there is some way of either correcting it or, alternately, deleting that data set and re-entering it.

Hi Ken I finally solved my phone problems and have been able to install the Lite version of SimplePool and like it very much. Nice job! As I recall, you previously said, in the near future, updates will no longer support Android OS 2.1. My phone is pretty much a dinosaur and can't be updated...

I'm trying to install SimplePool Lite on my Garminfone (Android OS 2.1) and having no luck. Any suggestions?

I'm considering replacing both my main circulation pump (1 hp Sta-Rite DuraGlas) and booster pump (3/4 hp, A.O. Smith motor, driving a Polaris 380). Flowmeter on return line shows a flowrate of 53 gpm. From measurements made a couple years ago, I had a pump suction pressure of -15" Hg and a...

My old diving board (10' Continental, made in Baldwin Park, CA) needs a replacement part. The mounting strip (2"W x 15"L x 3/16" thick) is badly rusted (see pics) and needs replacement. I've had no luck finding the exact part online and wondered whether I need the full strip or just a 2-bolt...

Thanks for the info. I have a spare Intermatic timer that I thought I would use to control the Stenner. My thought was to run the Stenner at a higher rate for a shorter time; maybe that will help alleviate the low-rate problem you describe. I have read through the thread you referenced and...

I live in Bellevue, WA, where the year-round mean temp varies from 41F to 67F. I only use a solar cover to help heat the pool during the swimming season; over the winter, I remove the cover and only circulate and sweep as required to keep the pool reasonably clean. I hardly use any chlorine...

I'm also in your neck of the woods (Bellevue) and am interested in your experience with your Stenner injection system. After a high CYA problem last year, I'm going to liquid chlorine but want to minimize the maintenance routine by installing either a Stenner injection system (15 gal...

I'm also planning on adding a Stenner pump injection system. Based on your experience and my pool size (below), would you think I'll need the 45MPH10 (0-10 gal/day) size pump? I'd like to put it on a separate timer so that, during the normal pool circulation cycle, I could, if I choose to...

Thanks for the input. I'll head over to the automation forum and educate myself before deciding between Stenner pump injection or swg.

Last year, after years of using tri-chlor pucks, I finally got burned with a high CYA level and a difficult yellow mustard problem. As a result, I’m now a born-again BBB School of Pool disciple. However, while I fully embrace the BBB philosophy, I’m not wild about having to manually add liquid...

:) Nice installation! I'm also considering SWG for my pool which is about the same size as yours. Which model CircuPool did you install?
