    B-Hyve Auto Fill

    Has anyone used a B-Hyve Hose Faucet Timer to control the AutoFill for pool? My current Auto Fill ( Pentair ) which uses a toilet valve was set to low when PB built pool. This causes my water level to be lower than what I want no matter how much I adjust it. I was thinking of using one of these...

    My Stenner pump and the change to 6% bleach vs 8.25%

    I thought it was going to be a simple fix to the decreased bleach % we are seeing produced. I was just going to increase my Stenner pump time by 2.25%. Well it is not quite that simple I found out. This time of year I would run for 40 min/ day ( 8500 gallon ), now I am up to 50 min/day and still...

    CYA and the pool store reading

    So I go to pool store about every 3-4 weeks just to double check myself ( probably first mistake ). About 3 weeks ago CYA was at 40ppm ( PS reading ) so I added enough to get to 50 ( hot Houston ). Yesterday went to PS and it read "0" ! PS guy asked if I had drained and refilled water ( no )...

    Outlet connection location on old tab feeder

    Getting ready to purchase the 45mp2 Stenner. Can I connect the output injection fitting of the Stenner to the tablet feeder itself or would it be better to connect it to the discharge tube from the tablet feeder to the pool return with a t-fitting? I would then turn the tablet feeder to the #5...

    Help Sizing Stenner Pump

    Ok I was going to go with LQ but seems to have to many issues. So Stenner sounds like the solution. I have 8500 gallon pool and use about 48 oz. bleach per day. My math says if I get 45mp2 @25psi pump that pumps 0.89 oz/min that I should only need to run for 54 min/day. Does that sound correct...
