    Rebuild Stenner Pump?

    Hi All, I stopped using my Stenner a couple years ago and it's been sitting out in the elements in Arizona, completely unprotected, and no longer turns on. I know, I should've thrown it in the garage :cry:. Anyway, does anyone have experience with rebuilding? I know parts are available but I...

    So that's why my Stenner hose kept popping out!

    I noticed the hose popping out of my Stenner pump a couple times so I figured I should perform some maintenance. I cleaned out the internals, re-greased, replaced the pump tube, ferrules, etc. After all that the hose still popped off so I figured it was pressure build up. Duh. So, I finally...

    Pebble Staining Issue

    Hi All, Our pool is a bit over a year old and maintaining levels has been pretty easy so far. I use a stenner to dose chlorine and do everything else manually. Just recently I noticed a lot of staining, it really seemed to creep up on us. I posted a picture where you can see the clean and...

    Stenner pump stopped working!

    Hi All, Tonight I noticed that my stenner pump is no longer working. To be more specific, the pump motor turns on (makes noise), but the mechanism does not rotate. I've had the pump for less than a year. I was expecting some maintenance but this has me a bit worried. I'm using the...

    A couple of pics of our Arizona pool

    The pool was finished last April and we now have the landscaping installed. I completed the landscape lighting with Volt lighting products. One of these days I'll post a list of all of the materials I used for that project. We also have some artificial turf, which you can't see in these pics...

    Pretty good deal on the Stenner 45MPHP10

    While searching for a Stenner pump I found the lowest price at US Water Systems. You can get the Stenner 45MPHP10 for $206.95 shipped. I chose to get the rain hood and the 15 gallon gray tank since we like the "integrated" look. Just letting you know in case anyone else out there is shopping...

    First Test Results - New AZ Pool

    Hi Everyone, Pool info in the signature. We just filled our new pool mid last week and the startup guy came on Friday. He added acid and threw in the tabs and CYA (into skimmmer). Not really sure what type of startup he did outside of that. I tested the water (TFTest kit) after he left and...

    Where should we place the lights??

    Hi All, our pool build will be starting in about a month (new-pool-build-soon-phoenix-az-t54925.html). We've decided to add another light, based on feedback from the forum users, so we'll now have a total of two Pentair Intellibrite 5g in the pool and one in the spa. Now, we're trying to...

    Do we need returns?

    We're having a new pool built soon (see http://www.troublefreepool.com/new-pool-build-soon-phoenix-az-t54925.html) and have a question about the plumbing. We will be having an in-ground cleaning system installed (we're 100% set on that) but we're also asking for a dedicated suction line to be...

    Opinions on Blue Square Q-360 In-floor cleaner?

    Hi All, We're in the process of picking a pool builder and Presidential Pools (in AZ) has their Blue Square Q-360 in-floor cleaning system. We've heard good things about Paramount, and some about A&A Mfg but can't find anything on Blue Square. Of course the competition says it's not a great...
