    Dolphin advantage won't run full cycle

    Question about installing a stenner pump

    This is awesome. My tf-100 will be in any day. Once I have a trend of how much my fc drops each day I'm definitely getting this up and running. Is Stenner the brand to go with? Would they be better than roto-chem? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
