I've been researching, and am about to purchase & install a Stenner pump with a 15 GAL storage tank for chlorine injection of my 15,000 GAL AGP.
Stenner's 3 GPD fixed speed 25psi model (45MP1) meets my needs, but I'm leaning towards setting this system up inside of my garage to keep it out of the weather extremes it would be subjected to sitting outside on my pool equipment pad. This scenario would have me running approximately 25' of hose from the pump through my home's crawl space before I punched through the foundation wall to tap into the return line at the pool equipment pad.
I'm wondering if it would be advisable to upgrade to Stenner's equivalent 100psi model (45MPHP2) in the above scenario so that I'd have a check valve at the return line tap to provide additional protection in the event that components inside the pump wear enough to allow pool water to flow backwards through this system (overfilling my storage tank and getting pool water inside of my garage).
What say the experts of TFP?
