thanks. this is for chlorine only.

hi... so the day has come. I need to get over my hesitation to cut my PVC. In 3 years, I've done all my own maintenance and repair, all upkeep and service. I need to install the stenner injector. I'm going to use the 1/2" not threaded component. I have a 2" slip tee... but I'm not sure exactly...

I spoke to someone on the phone. It's actually the same pump, but uses different tube sizing. They design them to be interchangeable, which is great because I can start with the smaller size hose and if I feel I need bigger, I can go bigger. I also think I can use the 25psi on the return side...

There are periods of time when I am not there everyday/week. I'm just not convinced I want the SWG. My pool decking/coping is old concrete and white quartzite (all in great condition). I don't want to introduce salt in the air (we can debate this later). I will get the Stenner pump (I don't...

I like the Stenner tank / pump. Looks easy to install and I think I have the space, although I don't see footprint dimensions for the 15 gallon tank. I also think its worth getting the adjustable flow pump, so I can dial it up/down depending on how long I am running my pump (will allow me to...

Yes, you are both reiterating my point about overstabilization. So, I wonder if the offline/inline chlorinator is even worth it? What's the point if I have to dial it down or if only meant for short-term use.

Hi - my first post of the year, LOL... I've been thinking about getting a offline chlorinator (installing it myself) for a year now. I don't think the installation will be hard, but what I am struggling to understand is how do you think about your CYA levels when using the 3" pucks. A few...

yeah, I am going to raise it up to 250 before I close it. thanks.

another question - where should my CH be when I close the pool. I think its been a little low all summer. about 180... and is 180 now.

thanks for the tip about lowering the PH, mine has been stable all season. right now its 7.6, but I will lower to 7 and check again like you suggested. thats easy enough.

thank you very much, that is helpful. I assume the calcium hardness went too high?

Hi - so my question is about the water level after the pool is closed. My pool was newly done with Diamond Brite about 3 months ago. it looks great. I am worried that over the winter when the water level drops below the tile line that I will get a ring around the plaster. Is this true? Should I...

When you say a valve, you mean so water cannot flow back up into the blower? These handy blowers have it built in at the neck of the unit. That is why I selected that model to replace whatever I had. Thanks

My old blower that came with the pool and never worked!!!

Hi. No I just have an old pump... makes sense about the air keeps pulling in. I plugged the hole at the bottom of the spa wall, so you it does spillover. I usually have it set like that all the time so it skims the spa water too. Figured that was good, only started doing that this year.

One more thing, there is a on off valve right after the blower. If I close that ball valve the bubbles will stop. So I guess now it's just sucking in new air from the blower pipe. When I change the returns to the main pool, do I want the air bubbles there, or should I close the ball valve.

Yes sir, the pump is running into the spa. I am heating it up as we speak. Will the bubbles eventually stop, is this just air trapped in the system or new air now coming in. I never had bubbles before, but my old blower was trashed. Thanks

Hi all. I just installed a new jandy blower. I turned it on and it's nice and high powered. My question is when I turn it off, it still blowing bubbles. Is that normal? Its definitely not running. Does it hold air and pressure somewhere? Thanks.

Hi - yes, I rebuilt my P280 last week, with the fibropool kit. I ziptied both ends of the rubber hose. I got my new Pressure Relief Valve and body. What a complete different. The PRV threads in super tight into the body. I had to use adjustable pliers to get it fully seated. It doesnt leak...

totally!!! Its still unclear to me what a leak from this pressure relief valve is like vs it just doing its job. I will report back after I get my new valve in place.

my valve is after the booster pump... so definitely not starved for water... anyhow, much appreciate the help and happy to know now whats going on with my robot... I am 100% the pool maintenance guy, I've come so far, just a few more things to figure out and fix, my lights and my aerator (that's...

yes, I now see all the parts online. unfortunately I ordered the new pressure relief valve and body without the new restricter plates. seems like I also have the G9 adapter too, so thats why I never thought about the blue or red disk. hopefully the new valve solves my issue and I can reduce...

thanks. I now see where it would go I think, inside the piece that connects to the wall. I do not have either the red or the blue in there. However I have a valve after my booster pump that lets me dial down the pressure (and quiets down the booster pump). Ive played around with this, letting...

hi - yes booster pump is on and its news, good pressure there... Im unsure where the red or blue disk is or would be positioned. Ive read online about the pressure relief valve leaking, but its not clear how to tell if its leaking vs doing its job. I tried to describe my condition - it put...
