    Stenner + Cal Hypo Shock Weekly?

    Thank you - saves me some unnecessary $$$. The Stenner fluid seems to go up every year. Just picked some 2023 10% up at Wally World for $5.47 / gal. I use a gallon per day on the hot summer days on average. Cost aside, the Stenner has made maintaining the pool almost easy.

    Stenner + Cal Hypo Shock Weekly?

    I have a Stenner chlorine pump on my 30k gunite pool and I maintain my chemicals pretty carefully. Is there any benefit in weekly Cal Hypo shocking in this scenario? Thanks!

    Stenner pump installation with Jandy Aqualink RS - Success

    I'm in Northern Virginia. Unfortunately, I don't have a place to bury that tank. The plumbing lines out to the pool are in the immediate vicinity of the Stenner pad. I plan to fill the tank with a week to 10 days worth of chlorine at a time, and keep the rest of my supply in the cool storage...

    Stenner pump installation with Jandy Aqualink RS - Success

    Thought I would update my post now that the Stenner is successfully installed. I used my last available relay in my secondary RS-4 panel (Aux B4) to power a new GFI outlet next to the Stenner pump. I wanted the Stenner only to run if the pump was running, so I needed to power the LINE side of...

    Stenner pump installation with Jandy Aqualink RS - Success

    Hi again - if I run power from one of the legs of the filter pump relay load connection (the output side of the relay that is only energized when pump is running), can I run that wire directly into the line (input) connection of my Stenner relay in the Aux panel or do I have to have a dedicated...

    Stenner pump installation with Jandy Aqualink RS - Success

    I want to control my new 110v Stenner 45MP2 fixed head10 GPD pump using my Jandy iAqualink automation. Further, I want to ensure the Stenner pump can't run if the filter pump isn't running. My Jandy setup is an RS-8 (main panel and where the pump is connected) and a supplemental RS-4 mounted...

    Converting to liquid chlorine - should I SLAM to get started

    Thanks for the info. I have been pouring the LC out of a one gallon measuring pitcher by walking around the perimeter of the pool. Is that a good idea or should I drop 5 gallons in the deep end where there is a skimmer and the main drains? Is 15-30 minutes enough to disperse the 5 gallons of...

    Converting to liquid chlorine - should I SLAM to get started

    I have an in-ground plaster pool and until recently have been using a Hayward offline chlorine tablet system. I was vaguely aware of CYA and knew it was elevated due to my use of stabilized tablets. About a week ago I did a CYA test using a new Taylor 2006 kit and it was reading in the 150...

    New Intelliflo VS - tightening lid on pump basket

    Hi - I have a new Intelliflo VS 011028 and just cleaned out the pump basket for the first time. When I went to tighten the lid, the handles won't turn all the way to fully locked. I removed the lid, and lubricated the lid O-ring with Jack's Lube and tried again. It still stops about 3/8"...

    New Pentair Intelliflo VS - Pressure warning light on heater

    Great - thank you. We only use the heat for the spa and the spa is programmed to run at a higher speed so that should be fine. Scott

    New Pentair Intelliflo VS - Pressure warning light on heater

    The heater is Jandy/Laars LT400N-LB, mfg in 6/2004. Filter pressure is 5.5 psi. Before I removed my Northstar 1.5 SS pump, the filter was about 10 psi higher at 3450 RPM. Filter is due for a backwash this weekend. I seem to be getting good flow at the skimmers I sure love how quiet the...

    New Pentair Intelliflo VS - Pressure warning light on heater

    I just had a 3 HP Intelliflo VS 011028 installed and connected to my Jandy iAqualink. I also had a FlowVis meter installed between the pump and the filter. I have 2" plumbing and at 1850 RPM I am seeing about 48 GPM on the FlowVis. But I also notice my pressure warning light blinking on the...

    How do you drain your Salt Water pool?

    I drain my pool out to a storm water runoff. If I were to convert to a salt pool I would be sending out 900 pounds of salt with the water, which makes me uncomfortable. Due to persistent CYA problems, I just drained and refilled about 25k gallons and am cutting over to liquid bleach and a...

    How do you drain your Salt Water pool?

    I have a 33,000 gallon in ground plaster pool with DE filter that is currently chlorinated using 3" stabilized pucks and shocked as necessary with Cal-Hypo granules. I am constantly battling CYA levels, of course. I would love to ditch the tablets and CYA problems, and am considering a SWG...
