well I'm going to buy the M400 or M500 tomorrow , I can't decide which the sticker shock is making me think if I'm already at the $$$$ for the M400 why not the M500 :p:roll eyes: did your M400 come with both sets of filters ? Thanks again

Thanks for the info , I've been talking to Epic Pool supply about some of the Aquabot cleaners too - - - Updated - - - I found a local pool store that can sell me an M400 or M500 I'm thinking about those with the rebate Did you get the remote for the M4 ? Do you think the extra...

so my 14month old Pentair racer is broke and I've been wanting a robotic cleaner since we put the pool in last year I'm eyeing the Dolphin Z5 on sale at Epic Pool Supply (and it has good reviews on TFP) I'm having a hard time parting with the $$$$ but probably $250-ish to repair the Racer...

I have a Pentair Racer that's a little over a year old No problems until today when I noticed the cleaner is stuck running backwards Normally the wheels propel it forward for several minutes then for about 60seconds it will lift itself with the nozzles and float backwards then resume...

Thanks

So we're going to see some modest freezes starting tonight for a few days . I'm not worried about main pump & filter (I can just let that run I guess) BUT what about the separate pump & pipes I have for the waterfall ? I don't really want to run the waterfall pump so just open the filter...

alright , I'll stick with the sock method then

Can I put powdered CYA in the inline chlorinator (I use a stenner pump & liquid chlorine) instead of using the sock method ?

that's CooL !!! the Speed Stir is absolutely worth it BTW !!!!!!!!! makes testing the water faster, easier & think it's more effective when mixing the reagents

ok , Thanks !!!

Got the timer & all buckets from Amazon with these lids so I can fill up at NAPCO http://www.amazon.com/The-Gamma-Seal-Lid-Black/dp/B0089QJQTS Should I put teflon tape on the injector threads that go into the puck chlorinator ?

above pic of exhaust on right side of heater - - - Updated - - -

yeah I thought that too after staring at it a while, going to disassemble & clean filter this week before I fill the tank up exhaust is pointed up on opposite side I debated on the white vs the gray but the Stenner website claims "UV resistant gray or Translucent white" on the tanks so...

good yeah , I guess so Great

So I finally got a Stenner pump & tank from US Water Systems I got an 85MPHP40 , so it's a single head fixed 26-100psi pump (#7 tube , 1.67gph) & I sprung for the 30gal tank First off it fits a little tighter on my equipment pad than I expected ...... Should I be worried...

that's a great deal on the 2.5gal jugs of 10.5% bleach !!!

well I've been spending a small fortune @ wal-mart for $2.90 121oz jugs of 8.25% & I can't believe i just stumbled across the target buy 3 get 1 free deal today for the same thing that's $2.25 for each %8.25% 121oz jug , best deal I've seen in Houston so far I did go to...

Thanks

OK , good to know

diluting sounds like a good idea , well I think I'll go with the 30gallon tank then , gives me more options I'm already contemplating ways to provide more shade over the tank ......

I have done some forum searches on the subject & realize liquid sodium hypochlorite will degrade over time & at higher temperatures & sun exposure http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/26383-Does-liquid-chlorine-go-bad?highlight=chlorine+shelf+life So having considered all that is it a...

What kind of timer are you using ?

Thanks for the info !! think I'm going with the 45MP4 mounted on a 15gallon tank http://www.stenner.com/products/pumps/single-head-fixed-output#boxtab4

I was looking at your timer in another thread http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/83310-Did-I-pull-the-trigger-too-fast what is it & where'd you get it ? Thanks

http://www.stenner.com/products/pumps/single-head-fixed-output#boxtab4 so at the above link I'm looking at the 45MP models with a 1-5 suffix then it lists the pump tube number which translates into different gallons per hour & then of course GPDs so what is the difference in the "pump tube...

I guess I'll go with a 10 GPD pump then plugged into an external timer (although I'd be surprised if I ever need inject more than 2gal a day) so what about variable speed ? any reason to consider that ? I'm going to stick with the 15gallon Stenner tank for convenience of mounting & the...

I'm ready to finally get a Stenner pump & tank for chlorination I'm looking for recommendations on which pump to buy. I plan on using a 15gallon tank . Is this setup viable ? I'm not sure which pump this is ...

Well I've had some free time to spend on the pool again the last couple of days. Think I discovered part of the problem , my CYA readings have been off !!! I had hit a CYA of 30 back in early May & then added enough to get to 40+ by early June. I thought I had added enough additional...

I was going to mustard algae slam levels & pool math was indicating FC 29 on that I'm beginning to wonder if my CYA tests have been way off we've had enough rain to force water out via the overflow drain a few times over the last month but that shouldn't eliminate that much CYA , right ...

now I'm really stumped , 8:15pm FC 6 cc .2 :crazy: think I need to do a few CYA retests in the morning , 17-19 point FC loss in 13hrs seems crazy maybe the wal-mart brand bleach isn't all it's cracked up to be ????
