Hey everyone, I just wanted to check in and let y'all know some things. Since installing the Stenner and firing it up, I've had absolutely zero problems with the system! The pump and tubing is totally leak free and my FC readings are dialed in now and very consistent day to day. I've settled...

81 now. Had to drop out 1/3 and refill off my well water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A short clip showing the first time startup and priming of my Stenner pump. I'm not sure if my video will show up ok, never tried posting a video! https://youtu.be/l4zHYoKljfU Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No problem at all, I don't mind helping. You can always push the test button on the GFI with your pump running, it should kill the pump when you do, that's how you know it's being ground fault monitored properly. If you want to take a picture of the final setup I can probably look it over to...

I'd run red wire and white wire from the TOP LOAD terminals of the GFI. RED would go through your Stenner relay and then to the Stenner outlet. White would go directly to Stenner outlet. That's really the cleanest way to do it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jumpering your hot line off the pool light relay is perfectly fine. But you can't splice into the neutral the way you have it drawn. You'll need to splice into neutral coming out of the load side of the GFI or there should be a white neutral post on the LOAD side of the GFI outlet to use. In...

Yea not sure about an outlet actually inside the box, I have a GFI outlet that is mounted through the box, at the bottom right side. Then I have one near the Stenner that the pump plugs into, this outlet is wired through the GFI, as I've drawn it. Are you planning to put your pump outlet...

Ours is 85 today, with solar cover and heater not running, northern Indiana Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, here is a semi-official schematic as well as a couple pictures. Hope this helps!

The GFI outlet has both a line and a load connection points. This means you can feed straight 110V black hot leg from the breaker to the line connection in the back of GFI outlet. Then run black hot wire from the load connection on the back of GFI to the line side of the relay. Then black hot...

Yep, sure can, I won't get to it until this evening, but I'll snap some shots and make up a diagram that should be useful to you! Do you know if you have a spare, unused relay in your Intellitouch load center cabinet?

Thanks! Yes, it should be completely sealed and air tight, to avoid corrosion and loss. However, the pumping action would then pull a vacuum on the keg and collapse the sidewalls. So, I've left a thin gap around the tube where it enters the keg, I drilled the hole very slightly over sized. I...

So, I was able to get this project finished up. I ended up moving the injection quill from the Intelliflo VS drain to a T in my 2" PVC pipe that's downstream from my filter & heater. Others have suggested this as a better location, as the water will contain a much higher chlorine...

Ahh I understand now. Yes, it had a plastic bung that screws into the bung hole, I just didn't have it installed when I snapped the picture. You're correct, the chlorine fumes are very corrosive indeed. We stored our brand new stainless ladder and step railing in the shed last winter, and had...

That's very helpful Ken, appreciate it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope no screw on lid, it's a closed head barrel, so the lid and sides are all one piece. It might just be the lighting that makes it look like it doesn't have a lid, but it does. Thanks for the like, I think it's gonna be nice and cool. I relocated the injection quill, I'll post pics later...

Anyone here ever hard-piped the winterizing drain spigots from your pump, filter or heater? This will be the first winter that I've had to winterize and drain down all of my equipment. My equipment is all located in a pool shed that's sitting on top of 6" of crushed limestone rock. I could...

Yea I'm leaning that way myself. I have an automatic puck feeder downstream of the heater that I can remove and replace with straight pipe and a T to thread the stinger into. Thanks for convincing me!

Well I got the pump hooked up today and was able to run a bit of LC through it with not a single leak. At this point I'm just running power through an extension cord until I'm convinced everything is working as it should. I was able to find a 20 gal plastic keg at work, which was going in the...

After a month of reading advice from others and realizing my hockey pucks are eventually going to get me in trouble, I've decided to install a Stenner pump to dose LC. With the pump in my shopping cart online, I decided to run a quick search on Craigslist. I figured what the heck, theres no...

Ahh very good to know. We had a 20x40 vinyl pool at a previous house we lived in, and I would use the powdered trichlor shock every week, it contained CYA, and after a year, I couldn't understand why I couldn't kill algae blooms easily. After pulling my hair out for months, I finally came to...

Yep I tried DE first, did nothing but make things worse, at least for me the DE found its way into the water and clouded it worse Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a Hayward CL220 inline chlorinator and I'm wondering what setting others are using? The adjustment dial goes from 0 to 10. My pool is 16'x32' approx. 22,000 gal. and I'm running my pump 4 hr. in the morning and 4 hr. in the evening on 1,800 RPM. I keep the chlorinator filled to the top...

Thanks for the feedback! It's good to know someone has actually installed this setup. Any possibility I could a couple photos of your setup? Maybe a close up and an overall picture? It would be very helpful if you could and would be a huge help! Thanks, Dave

Thanks Chrissy, I like that idea, I suppose I would need to rig something up that attaches to the anchor, as the safety cover brass anchors only stick up out of the concrete about 1 inch. I'm thinking maybe a brass ring that slips over the anchor would work. Appreciate the simple solution...

Thanks, I've seen these, I'm just not crazy about depending on a couple of sheet metal screws to be sufficient to hold the weight of 3 kids swinging from the safety rope. I just know eventually some kid will decide it's fun to hang from the safety rope or try and stand up on it, kids will be...

Hmmm...I'm trying to envision how this would work out. I think it might work, but I'd be concerned with kids pulling on the rope and toppling the topsoil and cinder block into the pool. Thanks for the idea, I'll research a bit and see if anyone's done it already. Anybody else ever installed a...
