Thanks for the replies. I found the manual with the above excepts but the drawing of the valve doesn't match the product pictures that I can find, hence the confusion. My goal is to try and eliminate any elbows if possible while working within the constraints of the space (see picture for...

I'm looking to replace an old sand filter with a Pentair SD60 but I want to get an idea of what the plumbing will look like (i.e. make sure it will fit in the existing space) before going through the process of ordering the filter. Does anyone have a schematic or pictures showing the port...

My normal source of chlorine for the season wasn't available this year so I've been trying to find something else. I found 90# of 48% cal hypo on sale for $1/lb. Doing the math revealed that at $1/lb it was much cheaper than I've been able to find for any liquid chlorine around the Seattle...

I just ordered an Econ FP pump and I'm waiting for it to show up. I plan on triggering it via a current switch when the pump is running and adjusting the duty cycle using the built in electronics. Basically similar to a SWG in concept but using liquid chlorine injection instead. The Econ...

A current switch sounds like a good idea and it would avoid any modification of the existing plumbing other than tapping a hole for the injection point. However, I would be a little wary if the idea is to only inject chlorine when water is flowing then any valve mishap, clogged plumbing or...

I'm looking into a bleach injection system as I would like to automate the daily task of adding bleach. I've read on here where a lot of people are building systems based on the Stenner Classic pump. It looks like a good option but I would like to ensure that no bleach is injected without...

According to the calculator I need ~30 pounds (depending on the form). Correct. That is why I was leaning more towards getting a 50 lb. bag rather than pool store stuff. What I've found on Amazon at $58 for 50# appears to be around the best I can find in stock for this area and/or the time...

Thank you for the response. I've looked through all of the surrounding Lowe's and Home Depots with no avail. The local hardware store has some de-icer but it isn't calcium chloride. Given that it is (hopefully) a one time purchase I'm going back and forth with the idea of making the trek to a...

With a new house came a new pool. I've been lurking on this site for quite a while and over the past few days was able to successfully open our pool for the first time. Following the pool school instructions with a TF-100 kit couldn't have been easier. According to my tests my CH level is to...
