It sounds like you have it figured out. I will say that since my Stenner is on a new digital timer, and the pool pump is still on an old mechanical timer, I schedule the chlorine injections to be 3 hours inside the filter pump on/off times to account for any timer drift and short power outages.

1. Which liquid chlorine dosing system do you use? (Stenner) 2. Does your system respond to a sensor, or do you dial it in based on your drop-based testing? (drop-based) 3. What is your current pump run time? (9AM-9PM at 1100RPM, 2600RPM w/solar on) 4. What is the run time of your liquid...

I would just make sure the rollers spin freely, no lube.

Your numbers look perfect. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Any time! That looks like a great setup.

You definitely want it installed after the heater. I wouldn't take the risk of expensive heater parts getting damaged.

Here's my electric bill that shows this year's usage vs last year. May and June look pretty good so far!

Check the drain plugs on the suction side of the pump as well as the pump lid seal.

With a little more effort, you can install a T connector with a threaded outlet that the injector threads into. To me, it seems a little more sturdy that way.

If you can protect the pump and tank from the elements, and it's still easy to get at, then do that. Most people use the 1/4" chemical resistant black tubing. Will you be using a timer? You would need easy access to that as well. If it were me, I'd want everything positioned in a way so i can...

Water clarity is back to normal. All I can surmise is that there was dissolved stuff in the water that came out of suspension with the pH change. I noticed the filter pressure also went up enough to require a backwash, so the filter was catching whatever it was. I guess this means my water is...

Yup, I just gave the pool a half gallon dose and bumped up the Stenner by a few minutes to increase the FC.

What did I mess up? Pool has been crystalline beautiful up til 2 days ago when I measured pH and found it was a bit high at 8.0. I mixed a pound of dry acid with 3 gallons of water and slowly poured half in the skimmer and the other half in the deep end. A few minutes later my wife goes "What...
