    Pentair VS pump Questions

    I am all for challenges but if you use a SuperFlo instead Intelliflo you could buy a Sonoff 4 Ch Pro v3 (27.00)and be able to control the pump over Wifi and use Alexa to turn on, off and change speeds. There is documentation in the SuperFlo on how to setup external relays to control the pump. I...

    DIY Peristaltic Automation Questions

    Stenner pumps are what your looking for. There are a few threads over in the SWG section. I have had mine going for 3 years now and besides the tube and a small battery it has been trouble free. If I where to do it all over again I would get one that just comes on with power and use a smart plug...

    I think you could but the power wire would be coming out of the top of the pump and the motor may come in contact with the PCB.

    Stenner liquid chlorine pump - How to choose and install

    Steve they lasted about a year in direct sunlight. The clear tube only lasted a year too but it was covered by some white split loom to match the exterior. Just installed black tubing and new nuts with PVC cover. I will snap a photo when it stops raining.

    Stenner liquid chlorine pump - How to choose and install

    If you have Wifi within range of your Stenner Pump you could install a Smart Plug and ask Alexa or Siri to run your schedule. Change the chlorine or about to have a party it is a simple as talking to the the phone to run extra schedules or changing times. (Just make sure its rated 15 amps and is...

    Stenner pump users

    I have had my Stenner Pump for almost a year and wouldn't hesitate for a second to order a new one. I use to test every day but it gets boring seeing the same number over and over again. Now I am down to every 3 days when I am home. When I left for 3 weeks for work I filled the jug up and came...

    Taylor K2006 can't fit 2.0 oz bottles

    I also ran into the same annoyance. I even called Taylor to see how much just ordering the case would cost and if I remember correctly it was over 50.00 plus shipping. Kind of a good thing because I would be even more annoyed. I ended up making my own out of a plastic ammo box. It allows me to...

    Stenner pump install

    If you don’t care who makes the tank I would try a car wash as they usually have barrels all the time for usually free. eBay and Craigslist are other options. At first I wanted a barrel that I could remove the lid and pour the Chlorine in. That was a mistake and now I use a jiggle syphon to...

    I do have the check valve and it has not filled my tank. I believe most check valves require flow to operate and

    The pumps that don't have a check valve are rated for 25PSI. But to be honest with you my tube sprung a leak most likely due to the sun deterring the material ( Purchased wrong tube) I had a small drip that had almost no pressure behind it.

    pool calc says 1128 oz of 10% to get my FC from 0 to 30. Do I add 1128 oz at once?

    Are you sure you a 30k pool. You look about my size which is 13k. Maybe you are deeper than me but usually 30k pools are huge.

    I use 12.5% from Pinch A Penny. My tank is 8 gallons and sits inside a box out in the sun. Not ideal and during the summer it requires me to go to the store every 3 weeks. I have not noticed any ill effect but I am not going months without fresh chlorine.

    It comes in 2 sizes. The smaller thread is 1/4 NPT and the Larger part is 3/8 NPT. When I made mine I just brought the injector to Home Depot and fit everything. You will need to use and adapter into the T-Fitting. Wasnt hard to do at all.

    Stenner EconT / Liquidator hybrid install ..........

    I don't use a layer water with my Vat but it is only 7.5 gallons (3weeks). 40 gallons is a lot of chlorine to have on hand so it may bring it from a layer of water.

    Thought I could trust the pool store!

    I just picked up 25lbs of CH Increaser off of Amazon for $29 shipped to the door. https://www.amazon.com/25-Calcium-Hardness-Increaser-Plus/dp/B012B9HU8W/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1500946918&sr=8-3&keywords=calcium+increaser+pool

    Has been working for almost 2 weeks with no complaints. It's kinda weird to test the pool and see the same results. Here are a few photos of my setup. Next will be a new pool pump.

    Stenner Econ T?

    Finished up test over the last week. Worked as advertised except one day when we lost power at the same as the start time. Basically it didn't pump that day. Even when the power came back on. Started to plumb everything in and the rain started. Removed the old Chlorinator from Hayward and was...

    Got it back yesterday. Sent it out June 9th so almost 2 weeks. They ended up replacing the overlay and control board all under warranty. I was never contacted about anything and it just showed up on the door step flopping around in a box. Surprised it didn't break in shipping. How is yours...

    Yep I had to read to figure out how to program the rest of the buttons. For sure thought the DAY button didn't work. Not a big deal as like you mentioned the price was more than fair and the little bit of inconvenience hasn't been that bad. Just gonna take a little more time. Sent it off today...

    Customer Service was pretty good. I have to send the pump in to get looked at and fixed. But should have it back in about a week. We talked for a moment and the Rep said that my pump was only a few days old. Basically it was assembled on June 02 2017. You can tell by the first 6 digits in the...

    Looks like I will let you all know how well their customer support is. The Day button on the control pad is either bad or not installed. I cannot feel a click and nothing is happening while pressed. In manual mode the pump works great. I don't feel it's terribly loud or annoying. Should be...

    Same seller and has not shipped to me either. Did reply to a email asking what was going on with the the shipping and "Scott" said he would check on it Monday. For as many items he has listed I had kinda hope it would ship faster.
