I DO NOT have an SWG. I use a chlorinator & follow this method on this site. I noticed water tasting salty. Tested it and it was 6000. Double checked at sun devil pools. Water is two years old. Do not have a water softener or RO or anything. No idea how salt would get in there. Theories?

Does anyone in the Phoenix / Chandler area have any recommendations for good pool guys who can service using TFP methodologies? I have a automatic liquid chlorine pump that feeds straight into my pipes. Just looking to delegate the maintenance end of it.

Pic attached.

I've been doing TFP for a little over a year now. Last year when I started my CYA was too high. Was told had to drain to get it right. I did so this spring. I also added CYA through the sock up to 40ppm after I refilled this spring. Also this summer I floated tabs for a week when I left for...

I've been buying 10% liquid chlorine from Wal mart for 3.60/gallon. I live in Phoenix area. Anyone know where to purchase more affordably?

Need some advice after a major screwup. I have stenner auto chlorinator. My power went out & even though the pump says it has batter backup it failed to kick in. So I had to reset my time & timer. I set it to start at 10pm & accidentally set the end time for 1115am & didn't realize it until day...

I have been worried that i was losing too much FC during the days so I did an overnight test. Last night I had 4.5 & this morning 4.0 with .5 cc. Should I be concerned enough to SLAM? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I installed a stenner 45MPHP10 last year. I threaded it straight into my line. After the winter (Phoenix), it is now: 1. Leaking bleach out of the plastic piece when it's on 2. When it's not on, it seems that somehow the water from the pool is going back up though the line and into the pump and...

I started using the TFP method last spring and through summer and fall. This winter I had decided I was going to drain my pool and start over with fresh water because I my CYA was too high because of the powdered shock and tabs I had used previous to beginning this method. So...I wasn't as...

Hi, I've been doing the TFP method for about a month or so. Not having problems with FC, but PH keeps going up. I just had to add 90oz after 5 days and had been adding about 40 oz every 2-3 days before that. Trying to keep PH at 7.5 or so and it keeps going to 8.2. I live in Chandler, AZ which...

I am installing the stenner pump into a Tee fitting. The instructions say to wrap the male end of the injector with 2-3 wraps of plumbing tape. Then there's a pic that says do not use plumbing tape. Do you guys know if it matters? I'm talking about the injector fitting that goes into the return...

Hi, I am installing a Stenner 45HP10 pump. I have a variable speed pool pump that runs 9 hours a night and 6 of those hours is at 1,000 rpm (barely see water moving but it is) and 3 hours at 2750 to run the vacuum. So would it matter when the stenner pump is running as long as it's while the...

OK, I'm going to get one of the stenner pumps to automate my chlorine. I am looking at 3gpd, 10gpd, 22gpd...the cost is the same at 208. Which one should I get? I understand the math of how many minutes to run each one but what are the adv and disadv to each? Thank you.

Have been reading on here about all the chlorine pump options. I came across the Rola-chem Liquid chlorine pump and am curious. Does anyone here have any experience or reviews on the quality and success of these pumps? I have decided against the liquidator and am intrigued by the stenner and...

I have owned this home and maintained pool for 4 years now. After reading through this website, I want to switch over from pool store to trouble free. I found a rather large dead bird in my basket this morning (pigeon I think?). My pool is cloudy and after taking water to pool store for testing...
