We are looking at installing an awning or some other kind of cover to go over our pool equipment. Would love to see solutions for what others have done.

Had to look up what an IBC tote was, but I will look into that. Found a couple other “vented chemical tank lids” online as well…all in the $10-15 range. Ha! Actually just realized the first two hits were IBC tote caps. 😀

Anyone come up with an alternative replacement solution for the Stenner tank cap? $40 for the flimsy cap is hard to swallow when it only lasts a couple years.

Our in-ground has a Paramount Paralevel autofill that has been an equipment bane since initial installation. We have a "smart" water meter that sends alerts when gal/hr water flow exceeds a preset amount. 99% of the time, when we get these alerts, it is related to our auto-fill system and...

Thanks for the replies. I started out trying to eyeball and wing it at Ace, but now that I know sizes and materials, I think I can make a more accurate selection.

We have a Paramount Paralevel auto-fill that has gotten "stuck" after a couple heavy rains. We have determined this after getting a leak alert from our "smart" water meter and then shutting off the two biggest likely culprits, irrigation and auto-fill, separately. Both times it has been the...

The plan is to get a Stenner Econ T to pump the LC.

Hmmm...yeah, white is an option and I thought about the reflectivity/absorption issue, but also noted that Stenner sells their systems in grey and white, so guessing color is a minimal factor in those quantities. Unfortunately , in-ground isn't really an option - and I've buried components...

Good to know on the color - leaning towards the black or green for aesthetics - both are plenty opaque. Size-wise, looking at just the 25 gallon but the price points were all in the same general area so wanted to make sure if bigger wasn't necessarily better; doesn't sound like it. Might also be...

Ready to automate the application of liquid chlorine, so have been pricing out a pump tank system. The Stenner tanks won't look fit our space unless we ran a significant length of tubing, but I have found 25, 40, 45, & 50 gallon chem storage tanks that will fit well. Most come in black or...

Up until now, we have been getting the in-store BioGuard "ALEX" test. The past few weeks, we've been told our chlorine is "high" but the pool also hasn't been getting much use due to travel and other summer activities. Currently, using TriChlor tabs in an in-line chlorinator Just got our TF-100...
