    Stenner Check Valve?

    Currently using a Stenner pump for injection. Tube became weak and filled the holding tank with water. Did not have a spare tube, lesson learned - day before leaving on vacation. System is reliable to a point, but would a 1/4” John Guest check valve or the Stenner Duckbill be a good future...

    Peristaltic Paradise?

    So, had the Stenner up and running for a couple of days, had an issue keeping CL levels up, still having to manual dose. Finally had some time to sit down and observe the timer and thought that was odd, it should be running right now...those pesky AM/PM indicators are really important to pay...

    Selling on TFP

    I have an LQ that was recently pulled from use (in midwest, so that equals about 9 months of actual use over past 3 years as it was only used on full season. It is in great shape and would hate to recycle it - so the question, is it safe to post it on the chemical automation board and tell...

    Vetting Injection Pump Configuration

    Requesting some feedback on on my proposed Stenner Injection configuration. After too much time spend researching, the Stenner pump/tank combo just seems like an easy route to go. I am thinking a straight up 3GPD pump (less moving parts compared to adjustable unit and a less expensive), 7.5...

    New Pump + LQ = :-(

    Scenario: Right sized with a Hayward Matrix 1 HP 2 Speed. After finally getting the LQ tweaked, I now have flow issues with low speed. Due to slope in yard, the main drain is just below pump level, skimmer, above. If I let the Main Drain be the primary source and back off the skimmer, it...

    TFT CYA Shelf Life in cold garage....

    In attempting to get the pool going, went to test CYA and realized I could not find it...as it was left in the garage. I thought I had read that the chemical agent it uses is fairly stable, but should I trust it after being left in the cold? That was my intro to TFP a couple years back, met...

    Pump Sizing for Xstream 1500 Filter

    Hello All- First, it's been a while, thank-you for the advice and guidance, going into my second full season of BBB and things are going well. The LQ setup and heavy duty direct wired timer have made taking care of the pool a lot more enjoyable. :cool: The pool was originally purchased with...

    Liquidator Issues

    Liquidator was installed a week or so back. :-D Worked well until yesterday. :cry: The pump shuts off for a couple of hours mid day and I heard a water drip - the Liquidator was overflowing. Thankfully I was home and happened to be walk past the unit and notice the leak. I was able to...

    Liquidator Online

    So, it took forever for the LQ to show up, due to coming from the west coast and the free shipping....but it arrived in one piece with the 3/8 upgrade and I spent the evening plumbing it in. Since I do have an AGP, I was concerned about flow. I do have a skimmer and a main drain, but the pump...

    Thanks....

    Just a quick thanks to the many posts that I have read over the past week while I tried to correct my pool issue. I invested in a DPD kit, not the recommended one, but that is another story. I fought with the pool for nearly a week...several trips to the evil stores, more water tests, they...

    Timer Advice

    I have a Hayward Voyager Cartridge filter with a 2 hp motor and integrated timer. The timer stopped working last season and I never knew how much I would miss it - kind of chuckled when I found out it had a timer built in, I had never seen one on a pool pump. The replacement is about $60...
