On my 85mhp17 there are 3 mounting points where the head matches up to the body of the unit. Therefore, you can only mount the head in three different positions.

Prefect. Will do.

Yes, I used a solid cover. The water is pretty clear and I can see the (dead?) algae at the bottom of the pool. Looks like dirt. Can you suggest the best way to add liquid muriatic acid....skimmer, over pool water...?

My bad...just did the FC and CC test. Here are the totals... CYA 50 CH 250 TA 160 PH 8.2 FC 5ppm CC 0

Hi again, I got the cover off yesterday and started the pump up with no filter (for now). Wanted to get the water circulating. Water was green. Based on the initial readings I started with 1.75 lbs of CYA in each skimmer (2 skimmers = total 3.5 lbs) using the sock method. I ran for several...

Does the 51 pounds look right? Also, should I add the CH and Baking soda while I'm SLAMing? Thanks again.

Hi all, As mentioned and as some of you may know, I'm switching over from 3" tabs and testing strips over to liquid chlorine (via Stenner pump) and testing with the TF-100. Here are my first results: CYA 0 CH 75 TA 60 PH 7.5 CL 0 Notes: I'm using 30,000 gallon as my pool volume as...

Re: Cost Comparison of Chlorine Sources FYI, this is for 3.78 quarts and not for 1 gallon.

Thanks Hawk and Bama. I'll get an extra tube for back up and carry on.

My automation is a combination of two Intermatic timers. Wiring is as shown in the attached diagram. The Stenner tube no longer has the size marking. Apparently rubbed off. Since the tube has flattened a bit through use, I measured the diameter at the base where it connects to one end of the...

Great, thanks. It's pouring outside right now. When it slows down or stops I'll run out to check. In the meantime I found this on the Stenner site: "Ounces per minute: 0.07 to 1.51 / Milliliter per minute: 2.08 to 44.65" http://www.stennerpumps.ca/prod-85mhp17.htm - - - Updated - - - I did a...

Is the tube marked with the size anywhere?

OK, I just got back from Wally World and the size is 3.78 Quarts. Seems they are phasing the old bottle out for a splash-proof bottle design. Bottle still says 3.78 Quarts and "Concentrated" but now does not list the % of Sodium Hypochloride. The price also went up to $2.98. So, pretty much $3...

Hawk, I just tested my 85MHP17 and I'm getting 4.75 ounces per minute at setting 10. I'm not sure which size tube I have as I bought my Stenner used. Which tube do you have?

Just posted this in another area: After quite a few calls I was able to find a source for reasonably priced liquid chlorine in Northern NJ. The company info: Universal Chemical 100 N. Hackensack Ave. South Kearny, NJ 07032 (973) 589-1525 The gentleman I spoke to is named Jerry. He was very...

You may be right. I'll double check and correct if necessary. Thanks for the observation.

BTW, can I remount the head so the in/out nipples face in the opposite direction....on the right side as opposed to the left?

Yes, the pump is adjustable.....

Awesome. I'm not sure which tube I have so I will measure the output. Thanks!

Jason, thanks for the reply. This is for chlorine. I finally found a supplier in my area that I believe I'll be happy with. Chlorine is 12.5% ("Available" Chlorine is 11.9% according to label) BTW, the test was pushing water through an injector tip with the check valve and duckbill.

Hi all, I just hooked up my Stenner 85MHP17 and tested with water. The pump does dispense water in what does appear to be a measured amount. However, I was under the impression it would be a pressurized stream. Am I off base? Also, I set up to run at night while the pool pump is running. This...

I'm thinking you could use an Intermatic timer as well.

For those in South Jersey, this place has 5 gallon carboys for $12.99. http://www.thepoolstore.com/shop/product/liquid-chlorine-refill/#tab-description

Ok, Sahara pool is $19.00 per 5 gallon carboy. Initial deposit is $8. After one time fee that works out to $3.80 per gallon.

Unfortunately there are no HDs with a pool section here in Northern NJ. Durk, thanks for tip. I'll call in the morning to inquire.

Interesting. What department is the 10% chlorine in? Also, what's the cost? Thanks.

Just looked at what looks to be a "gallon" bleach container from Walmart. Same as Home Depot with only 3.78 quarts of product. I wonder how many brands are doing this. It definitely adds to the cost.

As I collect the parts for my system I thought I'd pass along a couple tips on acquiring components at a lower cost. Chlorine storage: I first checked a suggested Brewers' supply site for a low cost tank. However, they were out of stock. Ebay had some nice drums but shipping was prohibitive. I...
