    Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus and Auto Cover question

    I just purchased this unit. Very excited not to have to manually vacuum again. My question is can it be used with my auto cover closed? I can put the power supply in a water proof area and will be able to run the electric cord for the unit where the cover opens. Not sure if the cover...

    PH / ORB controller. Anyone use one.

    I get it can have its issues but so does the salt cell. Might have to findout for myself.

    PH / ORB controller. Anyone use one.

    The majority of the time. My pool is covered and only uses 1 ppm a day. Then if it get used it can use 2 to 4 ppm. So I am having trouble making my stenner consistent as we do not have a steady routine of pool use. With a toddler around opening it daily to get sun to try and add consistency...

    PH / ORB controller. Anyone use one.

    Rola-Chem Digital pH/ORP Controller - Generation II - RC554000 I am looking at this controller to take over the timer I have on my stenner liquid chlorine feed pump. Does anyone have an opinion. Is it a lot of headaches or does it run pretty good. The guy on the phone acted like the probes...

    I did not clean the pipes. Should I look into the awesome product. - - - Updated - - - The people who built my pool just said to Shock it. - - - Updated - - - My pool is fiberglass. I was told the surface is to slick for algae to grab hold of by the builder.

    Algeacide 50.. Good or bad to use.

    Seems if I let the FC get below 8 ppm and it's in the 90s my pool starts eating chlorine and it gets cloudy. My CC has never been over .5

    Algeacide 50.. Good or bad to use.

    From my research the best I can tell it does not have copper and if I use too much it will cause foaming. Wanting some extra help during the extremely hot months in summer. It only 8 or 9 dollars a bottle. I need 5 ounces a weekly dose. Not gonna break my bank.

    Why does my pool get cloudy even when my FC is 8 to 9 ppm

    I filter 12 hrs a day and the cover gets opened but not too much. If the weather is good its open 4 hrs on the weekends. It gets open during the week but thats hit or miss and only for an hr or less. It did get vacuumed last Sunday when the FC was 8. The following monday was when it went...

    Why does my pool get cloudy even when my FC is 8 to 9 ppm

    FC 9 CC less then .5 PH 7.4 TA 110 CH 230 CYA 40 For the secomd time my pool got cloudy. My stenner injection drifted up to a 9 ppm FC level so I shut it off for 2 days. Day 1 it went down to 8. The second day it was raining so I hurred and I tested in a different spot and got a reading of...

    Stenner Pump w/tank

    You can drill and tap an elbow if you are okay with doing it. There is a thread somewhere in here that showed an injection point that is indeed clamped on. If you have a tablet chlorinator they might have a 1/2 capped off thread you can use like mind did. Just make sure you know for a fact...

    How much work is it to maintain a salt pool.

    Yeah I was thinking it would keep the pool at a constant 6. Dont know why I thought that would be possible. I put it back in yesterday and am giving it another shot.

    Okay maybe I was thinking to critical and will give the stenner another shot.

    How much work is it to maintain a salt pool.

    I have the same stenner and 10 percent chlorine. On the weekends 50 minutes was good with the pool open. The trick for me is when I am covered I use less chlorine. 30 min cover was too much. Was going to try 20 covered and see how it goes.

    How much work is it to maintain a salt pool.

    What is your run time. In the beginning 15 min a day was good. Then is drifted down.

    How much work is it to maintain a salt pool.

    Okay so it will act like a liquid chlorine pool. Now adjusting my PH down was like clock work regardless of temperature. So if I did the salt system I could use my stenner for Acid. Still my try a second shot with the stenner before I go salt. Doing some research first. - - - Updated - -...

    How much work is it to maintain a salt pool.

    I was dosing once a day with the stenner and that did good till it got hot then outta no where my 5PPM dropped to 1 and the pool got cloudy. Then I tried dosing twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night but must have had too much run time and the chlorine started to build up. Since...

    How much work is it to maintain a salt pool.

    I was trying to use a stenner system but I cant figure out a steady injection rate. The heat fluctuations really change how much my pool uses chlorine. I am tired of testing and adding liquid everyday so I went back to the tablets. My CYA is 30.

    How much work is it to maintain a salt pool.

    Once you find a good setting with the generator are you good on Chlorine? How does the salt system affect your PH and TA? Curious if my life would be easier if I converted to salt?

    Last night FC 6. Today 1 and a bit cloudy.

    Would 11 hr pump run time be to little when it's really hot. I left it on all night last night.

    Last night FC 6. Today 1 and a bit cloudy.

    So what the deal. It's really hot right now. Pool was 96 degrees on it's own. Does the hot water eat chlorine. My stenner injected 2 ppm today as well provided it was working properly. Normally it only loses 1.5 to 2ppm a day covered. It was covered today all but an hr or so. FC 1...

    Loosing 3.5 to 4 ppm a day FC

    I will bring it up to 40 and see if that helps any. Just making sure I am thinking right. It's been a little tough dialing in my stenner with that big of a variable from covered to uncovered. Since we don't consistently open the pool for the same amount of time. The other option is to dump...

    Loosing 3.5 to 4 ppm a day FC

    When its covered all week I don't loose much FC. 1.5 to 2 a day. Edit. When it's uncovered that includes 2 adults. 3 kids and a dog.
