I got a used 15 gallon barrel from a car wash for about $11 but it is the tall kind. I have been using it for a little over 2 years and it's holding up well. You my have to be a little creative on were to look.

My only concern would be the off gassing of the chlorine in the garage and the way it corrodes metals. Light switch contacts, garage door openers are a few of the things that it can have a negative effect on.

Since this is a peristaltic pump and is self priming would adding a couple of minutes to the run time solve the problem? Unless your lines are extremely long all the air should be gone in a few minutes.

If the heads of the bolts are in the tank not sure how long they will last being exposed to the chlorine.

Yes to Jimrahbe. I'm a little spoiled by the ease of access to bulk chlorine in Florida.

Below is a link to my setup and the cost, third post down. This was done in 2014 and the pump prices have gone up a little since then. The used barrel I got from a car wash place for $11. This has been one of the best and most cost effective investments for maintaining the pool that I've...

The link will show a picture of my set up and cost. Where the black tube goes in the tank I left a little play in the hole. This allows a little air to get in. My set up pumps just under a ounce a minute. Did I pull the trigger too fast?

I have the 10gpd model. It puts out just under a ounce minute, even with low flow rates you should be okay.

Cord is 6 foot long.

I’ve had mine for almost 2 years and the only thing I’ve done in that time is replace the tube once and that was more a precaution than a necessity. Model number is in my signature.

It seems the more consistent chlorine injection systems use some type of peristaltic pump on a timer. Pump speed has no effect on the delivery rate or quantity.

My pump is usually running 1000 rpm when the stenner is injecting. The injection rate is .8 oz a min. so even at the lowest speed you should be ok. You will be putting in a little less than 2 oz a minute.

Just like a SWG making the same amount of chlorine every day the pump injects the same amount of chlorine every day. For me I took a average of what I used in 2 weeks and that’s what I add every day ( 31 ozs.). That keeps me within plus or minus 1.5 ppm of my target.

I would. Most of the stenner pumps have a maximum operating temperature 125 F

Nice job. I would keep a eye on the temps in your enclosure. The stenner pumps have a fan and do give off a little heat.

It is a "Woods Model # 50015" Google it and you should be able to find it for around $20.

It's Stenner peristaltic pump model 45MPHP10. This model is fixed output 10 gpd. I adjust my run time by timer. Got it at uswatersystems.com

Try craigslist or car wash for used 15 gallon barrel. My whole setup stenner pump (was on sale), timer , gallon barrel total cost $229

uswatersystems.com has good prices. They were having a sale when I got mine.

Once you know how much chlorine you use a day you can get the pump to inject that amount every day. My chlorinator had a plug in it that matched the stenner pump injector I think it was ½ inch. That’s the black tubing you see running to the chlorinator near the bottom. You can set this to...

Here's a picture of my setup. Cost was $198 for the pump $20 for the timer and $11 for the 15 gal barrel. I use about 32 ozs and day. So for me a full barrel can go 40 days or more. I'm the guilty party on the nose comment.

That's 23,775 US gallons. Are you looking for SWG or some type of injection dosing.

Got my pump new on sale $198 shipped, 15 gal tank $11, timer $20 Total $229. Happy wife priceless (no more white spots on pants).

See in your sig you have VS pump. Pump speed and run times are more flexible with stenner. My injection time is about 35 minutes, and can be done on the lowest speed. I’m using about 32 ozs. a day in the summer and have a 15 gallon tank. If I have a heavy bather load I just up the run time 10...

The Econ says "Acceptable for indoor use only". My pump is located outside not totally exposed but may get a little wet.

On the 45mhp10 the max pressure is 100 psi. That's a lot to over come to have back flow because it has to make it by 2 rollers and the duckbill also. How long has it been since you replaced the tube.

Down here I'm getting 10% bleach for under $2 a gallon. The stenner pump for me is very cost effective and only regret is not doing it sooner.

This is information about the 2 fixed rate models. They come in 2 injection pressure ratings one for up to 25 psi (the MP models) and one for up to 100psi (the MPHP models) for the fixed rate models. I prefer the fixed rate because there are less moving parts and I adjust the run time for...

I drilled the hole so the tubing would fit loosely in the cap and it gets plenty air.
