    Good afternoon guys! I am looking to purchase a Pentair VS pump before the season begins and trying to find any rebates or discounts on this pump. The cheapest I could find online was around $899.00. I have checked with my utilities company, and they do not offer a rebate. Does anyone know of...

    New Stenner Pump Install

    I just installed my first Stenner pump yesterday. Everything is connected correctly (to my knowledge) and I have the injector connected to a Tee downstream from my pump (Right before the water enters back into the pool.)

    What exactly is Baqua

    Can someone explain exactly what Baqua is? I always though it was simply a name brand. I have used Baqaucil products last year, such as their Total Alkalinity and calcium hardness before finding the TFP method. Or is Baqua a different method of sanitizing your pool instead of chlorine?

    How to Add Liquid Chlorine

    I've read on here that most people pour their bleach strait into the pool in front of a jet. Instead, could I pour the bleach into the skimmer first, then allow the bleach to come out of the jets? My thinking on this is if I pour the bleach into the pool in front of a jet, I'm afraid some of...

    Feed Liquid Chlorine

    I know this is a dumb question, but is it possible to feed liquid chlorine slowly into the pool? What would happen if I were to fill my tab feeder with liquid chlorine and set it to 2 or 3PPM? Would the liquid chlorine immediately go into the pool when I flip the switch on?
