Interesting.....one of the "Features" on the "Splash Pool Shock Liquid Chlorinator" at Menards - I wasn't aware that any chlorinator was "one of the best options to reduce cyanuric acid levels" - which, of course, this doesn't. Apparently, in today's world, not *adding* to cyanuric acid levels...

4/Case of 12.5% at The Pool Store in Lemon Grove (San Diego) is $11.53 including tax, which is about $ .22/oz. However, that's with my business account, and I don't know the price for the "man on the street". Might be worth a call.

Faux, Sorry for the delay getting back to you. My idea about the tank has changed somewhat. If I need to cover the tank in any case to keep UV/heat down, I'll probably go with the blue 15 gallon HDPE drum for $30 and perhaps make a white Sunbrella cover for it. I've seen your buried drum...

Puertex - It would be nice to quickly see the fluid level, but I should have a good idea what's in there, and I always have at least 4 gallons of 12.5% with me. I haven't called Stenner, but everything I've seen from them describes them as "translucent white" and "UV resistant gray". I like...

Charlie - Dave's thought about putting a current sensing relay seems like a good idea. I had to think about it for a bit, but now see that his idea of putting the break *after* the injection pump timer is the way to go. I'll give this some thought about how necessary it really is, since both...

I suspect you're right, Dave.....but I'm going to look into that sensing relay you mentioned. Thanks for the help.

Hi Dave, I've read about your system, from which I've swiped several ideas. ;) Thanks for your input. I'm going to have to read up on the sensing relays. Much of what I've read made it seem really important to have the main pump running before the injection pump, and I can see that. I don't...

Hey Charlie, I'm not familiar with how that would work. The Pentair CSR didn't mention any alternatives - although I didn't ask him specifically - but basically said there was no way to control the Stenner with the Pentair pump. Since the onboard computer controls the Pentair, I don't think I...

Hi again, Thanks to the people and info here at TFP, I’ve had good success since I converted the five pools I care for to the BBB method. Keeping my water balanced is quite simple, and the benefits far outweigh the ease of throwing tablets in a floater. I’ve learned a great deal reading on...

Just my $.02…..I have four pools that now have borates, and all of the owners love the water. I did the first one with Borax and MA, and quickly decided I wasn't doing that again. I haven't found any shop in or around San Diego where I can get a better delivered price than Duda Diesel for...

*laughing* A lot like that.

That's also a good idea, Scott. A couple of them are elderly enough that I'm not sure I want them fooling around with liquid chlorine, but I'll try that out on the others. That makes me think about filling a few high-density HDPE liter-sized lab bottles I have with SH; then all they'd have to...

Thank you for the warm welcome, Butterfly. Yeah, I was thinking this wasn't going to work at once-a-week, but I was hoping I just wasn't seeing something, and now want to exhaust any ideas before I go the dreaded puck route. I have not read about the stenner pumps, but I will now. Hiring the...

Hello…..This is my first post here, and I'd like to start by thanking everyone here - the owners, moderators, experts, helpful non-experts, and those who ask the questions - for starting and maintaining this tremendously informative and useful website. I stumbled across your site some time ago...
