I usually have a stenner pump pumping chlorine in the pool at night. I haven’t hooked it up yet since replacing the pump house. Started with new water. (0 chlorine). Last night pool math told me to add 99oz to bring fc level to 3. I added 256oz. Tested it tonight and still 0...

Is there any formula or chart to determine my gph. I have 1-1/2 pipe if that means anything. Doesn’t the pool need to turn over the water at least once a day.

Got pool up and going. Got the 3 hp. What’s a good speed for a 28000 gallon pool. Also can’t remember but what order do you go with chemicals starting with new water.

I tried when I posted the question. Said images was to big. I went ahead and sanded the rust off. Sprayed it with zinsser 1-2-3 and then rustoleum oil based paint.

Just removed my liner to replace it. Man what a job on a 33’ pool. Anyway there is red rust in around where the steps were and white rust around the pool. What would be the correct way to address this

I ordered the 3 hp pump. It has 2” ports but my skimmer and filter has 1-1/2 ports. Would it help any to change pipe to 2” then reduce down to 1-1/2 at filter and skimmer.

I don’t know what sounds right cause I don’t know. I’m just asking questions trying to learn before I make a purchase. Just trying to get a better understanding.

1.5hp is $445 3hp is $519

Would I be wasting money on a 3 hp vs pump when I only have 1-1/2 pipe. If I read it right I would never be able to run the 3 hp on high.

The 1.5hp has 1.5” port which my piping is. The 3 hp has 2”ports. Will it hurt the 3hp pumps longevity if I reduce it down to 1.5” pipe

Have 120v now but can add 220v. Checked out the calimar pump. They have it in 1.5 hp and 3 hp. Which one would I need.

With my old pump being 1.5hp. Does my new pump need to be equal or more in hp. Any suggestions on above ground vs pumps. Would rather not spend $1500 on one.

would a pump on low turn over 26000 gallons in a day. I read somewhere where you would run it on high for 8 hours then on low for 16 hrs. Also I would rather have something I wouldn’t have to manually switch over if I didn’t have too.

The 2 stage pumps I have looked at so far looks like you have to go manually switch between the two. Is that correct?

I use liquid chlorine with a stenner pump

From what I read that law didn’t include above ground pools. Did I read right?

In the market for a new pump this season. Have always had a single stage 1.5hp. Pool is an above ground with approximately 26,000 gallons. Is an vs pump really worth the money. What do you recommend 1 or 2 stage or vs pump.

To be honest I haven’t checked it this year yet. I know it’s going to be real low. Was waiting till I got the pool chemistry close to being right since we kept vacuuming on waste and refilling up to get the debris and algae out.

Also I’ve never had to slam my pool before. How do you constantly keep the chlorine above 10ppm. Go a lot higher than 10 and constantly add it?

Checked chlorine today at 2:15pm and it was 0. To slam the pool it said to add 3 1/2 gallons so I added 4 since the pool is slap full of water because of the rain. Added the 4 gallons at 2:26. So now 9 hrs later the chlorine level is 4.5 chlorine-4.5 Combine chlorine-0 Ph-7 Alkalinity-45 So...

Pic of pool water

Opened my pool later this year than normal. Somewhere around 1st of June. Pool cover had holes in it which allowed debris in pool. Had algae on bottom. Cleaned bottom of debris and algae on waste . Put enough chlorine in pool to slam it at night. Next morning it had 11ppm chlorine. Checked it...

The pump motor will have been installed 2 years this july. It’s already making a loud annoying noise. I’m thinking bearings need to be replaced. Problem is I’m having trouble finding what parts I need to fix it. Would like to have parts when I tear into it. Also what all would you have to...

Do you still like the mrt1000

Ok still on the market for a robot. Like the idea of the cleaner with the turning brush on bottom. Local pool place has a mrt 1000 for $429. Did a search for it but didn’t get any results in forum. Here is what i got so far. Mrt1000-$429 Aqua bot pool rover jr -$279 Pool rover s2 40-$319 Pool...

Just finished reading reviews onpool rover junior and apparently the newer model is not as reliable as the older model. Bunch of people saying they had their 1st model for years before it quit but the newer model has already messed up. Going to do so more reading.
