Hi All, I stopped using my Stenner a couple years ago and it's been sitting out in the elements in Arizona, completely unprotected, and no longer turns on. I know, I should've thrown it in the garage :cry:. Anyway, does anyone have experience with rebuilding? I know parts are available but I...

I don't think I've ever checked my injector, so it took about 3 years to completely close up. I will now regularly check it and clean it out before it becomes a big problem. As far as other maintenance I've had to replace the phenolic gear several times due to water/rust in the pump and the...

I thought this was just calcium since ours is pretty high. But, I did notice some white sediment in the bleach tank so I cleaned it out. I'll have to read up on this "white stuff." Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

As long as the pump is off I can easily unscrew the injector to check it. How would the ball valve help? Thanks. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I definitely need to make this a part of my maintenance routine. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I noticed the hose popping out of my Stenner pump a couple times so I figured I should perform some maintenance. I cleaned out the internals, re-greased, replaced the pump tube, ferrules, etc. After all that the hose still popped off so I figured it was pressure build up. Duh. So, I finally...

Thanks Butterfly, I'll do the SLAM.

I tried the trichlor tab and it removed the stain. Then I noticed the chlorine was reading zero. So, either the pool is eating it up or my stenner wasn't really dosing yesterday. Manually added chlorine. Since the tablet removed the stain does this mean this is some kind of mold? Thanks.

Actually I just realized I tested our tap water, which is softened. Duh, I'll test from the outside tap. I'm pretty sure the calcium is normally pretty high. I do have a combo brush and have been using it. I'll do the tab test and report back.

Cool, I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Who did your design? I saw your pool build thread, looks nice! - - - Updated - - - Hey nabril15, we used Intellibrite 5G LED lights and control them via the Easytouch. - - - Updated - - - Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!! It was a lot of work to get...

Hi All, Our pool is a bit over a year old and maintaining levels has been pretty easy so far. I use a stenner to dose chlorine and do everything else manually. Just recently I noticed a lot of staining, it really seemed to creep up on us. I posted a picture where you can see the clean and...

I think you're correct. There is actually some rust on the gears so some water must've made it's way into the pump. I believe the gear post and/or one of the other gears is stripped. I can see some burring on one of them. I have found that Stenner support is very easy to reach and very...

Thanks for the feedback so far. I have the new style so it's easy to remove the cover using the clips. But once it's open I'm not really sure what to do/look at. I should hear back from US Water soon. I'll be sure to update this once I figure out what's going on.

Hi All, Tonight I noticed that my stenner pump is no longer working. To be more specific, the pump motor turns on (makes noise), but the mechanism does not rotate. I've had the pump for less than a year. I was expecting some maintenance but this has me a bit worried. I'm using the...

poderiopool, I think it's something with the soil. We're originally from OC/LA county area and seems like the Queens have no issues there at all. NoFear, it's all low voltage lighting. You're right, some of the lights are relatively close to the water's edge. Most of the lights are behind...

BuckeyeChris, sorry to hear about your builder issues, but the pool looks awesome! I'm sure they'll get everything taken care of and soon you won't have to worry about it. I had heard they were a good builder but pool builders seems like cell phone providers. Some people love each one of them...

We used Presidential Pools. So far no major problems with the fountains. One time one of them popped out but Presidential just came out popped a new one in. I suppose anything embedded into the pebble would be susceptible to the same issues (bubblers, in-floor cleaner heads, etc.). On this...

Thanks to everyone for the compliments! Pragmatic, I love your outdoor kitchen area and I wish we had room for something like that. Mrcarcrazy, your pool is looking good and I'm sure it'll all turn out great! Shane1, the queens have only been in our yard for about 8 months, but we have 15...

The pool was finished last April and we now have the landscaping installed. I completed the landscape lighting with Volt lighting products. One of these days I'll post a list of all of the materials I used for that project. We also have some artificial turf, which you can't see in these pics...

Re: New Pool in Arizona We also had way too much rock. Our biggest problem was that we wanted to change the rock color, so it was just a big mess. It all worked out OK, just a lot of work. I'll send you a PM about the travertine. In general we had some issues with the quality of the install.

Re: New Pool in Arizona Cool, that's pretty exciting! Do you have landscape rock where your equipment will be placed, or anywhere between the equipment and pool? If so, you might want to move it out of the way. We had the builder move the rock out of the way for the pool dig, but they left...

Maybe I'm crazy but I thnk it would be nice to have 2 Intellibrites (one on each end of the pool), and one globrite on the sun shelf. We have two Intellibrites and can definitely say that one wouldn't have been enough. Our pool is a little longer than yours, at around 35'. Our shelf is a bit...

Re: New Pool in Arizona The pool design looks nice! We also had Presidential build our pool and we're very happy with the final product. Regarding the travertine decking I'll just tell you to watch them like a hawk and don't be afraid to speak up if anything doesn't look right. Have fun...

Re: Wahoo we're getting a Pool New Build Thoughts and Critiq Looking good. Is that a bubbler, or a fountain, on the step? We have a couple fountains on ours, and one in the spa. Personally, we like more than one just because then it seems more balanced. We also love our umbrella sleeves.

Our valve is about 29 feet away from the edge. Seems like if you have good pressure, and you're running it long enough then it should be cleaning. How long are you running it and at what RPM? When you put your hand by the cleaning heads do you feel strong pressure? I think ours is doing ok...

Wow, that looks great! I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's finished.

Re: Updated 6/27 PHOTOS: New Pool & Ramada Phoenix Looking good. I really like the ramada and swim up bar! We're going to be n stalling grass soon (synthetic!)

Yep, that's how it goes isn't it?! I almost bought it a couple weeks ago, but wasn't really ready to install yet. With this sale I saved a couple bucks.
