Since I got a variable speed pump, it runs all the time at a slow speed. I only increase the speed a couple of hours for filtration. My Stenner timer (lamp timer) has 8 programming sequences. I am adding chlorine 8 times a day or once every 3 hours. I changed the size of the pump tubing and...

I agree

For jfdub: You can bore the PVC, tap it, and thread the Stenner injector straight into the threads you made. However you must not overtighten or you will break the PVC. Practice on a scrap piece first.

I never had any buildup that caused a problem. I do not rinse mine out and have never touched it after installation except to replace the tubing. I don't know what number pump tube you have, but you might try one that flows at a lower flow rate to minimize pressure buildup. Also be sure that...

I will measure the steps and let you know

Also answered PM. The liner crosses over the steps. Strips around the steps secure the liner to the steps and you trim away the liner in between the strips. No problems since installation.

This is nice. You will like it. Using the highest common bleach concentration (12.5%), you will have to fill the tank weekly. Your 34000 gallon pool would use 0.8 gallons per day of bleach during the summer with 3ppm/day demand. I have a 16 gallon (and use 6-7% bleach) . If I had it to do...

You can turn the adjustable pump all the way up to stop the clicking noise. Then you have a fixed dosing pump. Just adjust the run time with a timer.

YES The tubing, ferrules, injection valve, and weighted strainer all look like the right ones. Drill a hole in the tank just big enough to slide the tubing through. If it's tight it will hold itself in place. You can position the weighted strainer a couple of inches off the bottom of the...

I don't think you will like the adjustable pump. It makes a loud clicking noise. It would be better to have a nonadjustable one and just limit your run time with a timer. Get the largest tank you can. The 30 gallon will be better. It's a place to store bleach. You would also just use a...

I just saw this message. Looks like I never answered it. If you have a pool store that will deliver the bleach to you. I'd do it! That takes the work out of it. I dilute my bleach. But many do not. If you get fresh bleach on a regular basis, you may be fine without diluting. BTW, most of...

I get 50-60" or more of rain each year. Since my pool is shallow and 48" deep, my pool gets more rainfall each year than it's entire volume. This helps with the salt build up from adding bleach. And would make it a real pain if I had a salt water pool. I'd have a lot of salt water to put...

is that the consensus now, going SWG? No. I like the automated bleach injection. I just get a lot of complaints about hauling bleach. The system is good. It's all about how you handle the bleach. And the availability where you live.

The above link is WRONG. It's for the 220V version. Here is the corrected link. https://www.poolsupplyunlimited.com/pool/stenner-pumps-s3n45mjl5a1staa-tank-system/39145p1
