This is mine. It works great! I have the ladder set so that when there is no weight on it, the bottom is about 1/2" (2mm) off the bottom of the pool.

The recorded highest temp so far this year was 89.6 no solar cover, and the pool gets partially shaded from sunrise to about noon by a big over hanging maple tree. The tree line to the west comes into play about 2hrs before sunset.

The best Hover Float shots I have seen were taken at night. (no shadows)

I work as a mechanic - shop foreman - shop manager. I have been known to come home and strip off my clothes as I walk from my truck to the pool, and jump in to get the grit/grime/sweat off of me before going into the house.

I use 550 cord and what is called a barrel hitch. The top of my barrels have weep holes that I attach another 2 550 cord lengths to, and place it using 3 tie downs. That way I can center it where I want it in the middle of the pool, and the cats can't move it. I will take pictures when I do it...

It sounds to me like you need to replace the bearings, and the seal. The motor itself is probably fine. :)

yes they are, but I get the stainless steel wire for about $15 for 200ft. So I don't care.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always assumed that the reason for all the screened in pools in Florida was due to the over abundance of bugs that can, and WILL chase you out of a pool.

I will not double clamp, but my clamps are different.

If I am seeing the leak correctly, I suspect that you have not put teflon (thread) tape on the fitting that goes into your filter. I don't think the leak is coming from the hose, but rather the fitting the hose is connected to.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the holy grail of all inventions, and one of the most elusive ... the 10mm deep-well socket! :)

Keep in mind that the old tube coming out will probably be a bit longer than the new one going in. I know this is the case with my Stenner every time I change the tube.

I have found with my setup, (Stenner dosing the pool twice a day), that My FC usage is the best with a CYA of 60. At 6pm I am right where I need to be for the next dosing, scheduled for 6:15-6:40. But as stated by Oly, each pool is a bit different.

Welcome! :wave: You will find a wealth of information here at TFP, as well as people that are willing to answer any of your questions, should they arise.

I more or less wanted to post this so we could point out that algae is NOT caused by lack of filtration. But is the result of a chemical issue.

Well, my pump motor started tripping the GFCI breaker on Monday evening, so I brought it into a friend that rebuilds motors. 4 days later, I got my pump motor back and put it back into service Friday after I got home from work. (This is Sunday for those coming late to the thread) My wife was...

Welcome! :wave: You came to the right place! Without the help of these good people, I would have been in a panic when my pump started tripping my beaker, and I had to go 4 days without it running. I am pleased to report that my pool is STILL crystal clear, and now that the pump is running...

From what I can tell, you placed this in the right area. I hope this bump will get some more eyes on it for you.

The timer I use also has a feature for a count-down timer that only runs when I kick it into play outside of the regular schedule(s). If I notice my FC being a bit low, I kick it into play manually (push a button), and check again at the same time the following day, if I need to use it more...

Instead of using the water supply line that you can get at the hardware store, look into using the black one made for Stenner pumps. It will put up with UV a lot better.

The aquarium pump needed to be changed out every year due to it rusting out internally. I had been searching for a Stenner for a year or so at a good price, so when I saw one come up cheap, and new, I jumped at it. If my Stenner went down today, I would be buying one tomorrow to replace it...

This may help you...

What exactly is it doing or Not Doing as may be the case? Do you have it attached to the output from the pump back into your pool? (These are a pressure side cleaner, not suction side.)

If you could post some pictures of what you have to work with, I'm sure that some of our landscape (Pool Paradise) experts can come up with some suggestions for you. :)

Because it is the one furthest upstream, and as it injects the liquid chlorine will mix almost instantly with the filtered water, and get carried throughout the pipes to ALL the returns.

Yes, the drum will work for you. But be careful, depending on what was in it originally, you may have a reaction to the bleach. I would rinse it out WELL with hot water before using it if it contained ANY type of chemical. I would use the cap that is closest to the chlorinator as your injection...

Now that you have a handle on your pool, don't just leave us hanging. As Marty mentioned, the site is maintained by volunteers, and does have operating expenses, but we DO realize that not everyone is in a position financially to donate. Hang around and contribute with some of you own knowledge...

I would be tempted to put it into a pot of boiling water to soften it up, then insert it where you want it and let it cool/harden in place.
