I tried that one (fits 7/16" hole, 1/4" center hole in 1/4" thick panel) but the fit was too tight and once I got the grommet inserted into the tank it was not possible to insert the tube. You could try drilling the hole in the tank slightly larger, but Stenner discouraged me from doing that...

Just to conclude this topic, I decided to go ahead and buy the G3 from Amazon. It it is exactly the same as the old one other than a subtle sleeker styling upgrade. Since my old hose was still functional, all I had to do was assemble the head and swap it out with the old one. Runs good as new...

Does anyone know if there is a functional difference between the Zodiac G3 and the G3 Pro? The one I have been using is labeled "G3 Pro". I inherited it with my house and it has worked flawlessly for over 5 years, only needing an occasional new diaphragm. I leave it in the pool 24/7/365 on a...

The problem I ran into is that most of the standard grommets are intended for thin sheet metal and don't accommodate the tank's wall thickness. I then attempted to try and reuse the original grommet that broke by removing the torn flange completely and just pressing it in from the front. But...

In the process of replacing the tubing in my Stenner pump setup, I inadvertently tore the suction line grommet on the tank. The grommet is not available as a stand alone part (per Stenner) and it's been difficult to find one exactly the same size. Just wondering, does this connection need to...

Thanks so much--it's the answer that explains it. I had been trying to stick the meter directly into my pool as I do in the summer. So I put some pool water into my measuring bucket and let it sit. I then noticed that the temperature on the probe was counting down as the meter reading counted...

Hi Apera users, I have been loving my PH60 for about a year and a half for getting quick and accurate pH readings. However I've noticed that over time it has become more difficult to get a stable pH reading and as I've begun ramping up for the new season here in Phoenix it I'm finding it...

Thanks so much to the group for the votes, and to TFP for the generous decision to award dual winners. Dare I admit that the palm tree landscape was actually created by the previous owners, but was a main factor in our decision to choose the property. It was installed about 11 years ago and...

Palms in the desert

It seems like the pavers were used as coping. Here are some closeups at the skimmer. The pool was installed long before I moved in.

I've noticed that some of the edging pavers around my pool are starting to develop cracks at the joints. Should I be concerned? Is there any type of maintenance (example: sealing) that I can/should do? Or am I looking at eventually needing to replace the paver edging at some point. The pool...

Not sure this qualifies. More of a feathered guest than a furry pet...

I set up the Stenner and have been using it for a week now. Still need to fine tune the tubing arrangement, add the failsafe switch and improve the shading, but so far it has been fantastic! For now I'm running it daily for 15 min at 10 am so it's pretty easy to keep an eye on it. Here is my...

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

If I may ask, how did you connect the flow switch--by tapping into the power cord? Understand if you prefer not to answer. I appreciate the tips on maintenance and will duplicate for my system.

I had the threaded tee installed so ready for next step. However I don’t want to order the Stenner pump until validating exactly how to control it. Hoping to hear a few additional comments on the following: I’m using an IntelliFlo VS programmable pump and all scheduling is maintained using the...

Question related to the piping modifications for this project. I can see that in order to install a tee it is going to be necessary to cut through at least 3 sections of pipe. I did think of a way to do that, but now thinking that I should go ahead and replace my aging backflush valve...

Hey Bill, I used to live in your area, Suffolk County, until about 3 years ago. Our biggest issue was opening and cleaning the pool in the spring after being covered all winter. That is the only time we used LC. Once cleaned up we never had to be concerned about CYA build up and used a...

Good point. I guess with LC I could eventually end up with a higher salt concentration than SWG? Currently is is around 700 That's good to know, thanks! I was looking at this kit and everything I saw referred to 1/4" fittings. But I see now that there is also the 1/2" option...

Good point. I guess with LC I could eventually end up with a higher salt concentration than SWG? Currently it is around 700 but I just had RO treatment last summer.

I have, but concerned about higher salt levels since backwash water has to get drained into my backyard. I'm more comfortable draining chlorine water vs. salt water into the yard. (Chlorine evaporates but salt just builds up in the soil.) If we had city sewers and were allowed to drain there...
