    Another Texan joining in

    Houston pool owner here - wish I had stood firm on SWG, but let the PB talk me out of it. Definitely endorse the TFP process to a sparkling clean pool though!

    Stenner Econ T Up and Running

    Happy to say that I finally got my LC distribution well in hand. Ordered and received a Stenner Econ T peristaltic pump and 7.5 Gallon tank combo. Came with the "A" tube and 20' of clear line. Upgraded to the "C" tube and UV resistant line. Tank/Pump is sitting on my workbench in my garage...

    New user of pH meter

    I have the TFP pH meter also and like you are not quite convinced that it's accurate. Mine also reads high as compared to the drop test. After use, I rinse with distilled water and dry and then recap.

    If you are handy-capable, you can make your own pool chillers. It's just PVC piping with holes drilled. I'm fine tuning some that I'll be using in place of bubblers on my tanning deck.

    Went into the pool store to buy my liquid chlorine

    Yes, Yes they are... that's where I buy my Liquid Chlorine from, in their 2.5 Gal containers.

    New Pool Owner in Houston

    We waited a decade to have a pool installed, but it was worth the wait! Had the pool built over the winter months, hoping for a Spring Break opening that the grandkids could enjoy. Didn't happen due to weather delays, but we are so enjoying the water now. The addition of the Pavilion...

    Liquid Chlorine Automation?

    Think I’m going to go with a Stenner E10T2B pump/timer combo. Will I be able to plumb it into my Pentair in-line chlorinator?
