    Protecting Stenner pump/tank from freeze

    Hi, Going thru my first winter with a SWCG & Stenner acid pump injection and was wondering if there is any special care needed for a hard freeze (or power loss during a freeze) . For the Stenner, should I go as far as disconnecting the tubing, emptying the tank (50% acid; 50% water); power off...

    Check out the new modifications, thank you all for ideas

    I have a 35k gallon pool and I've fired 3 different pool maintenance companies. Then I found this site. It has changed my pool in every way. After 3 years of never getting a good water test, they are almost all good with minor tweaks. I've put in a stenner to automate my chlorine and buried...

    Long time lurker first time poster... 2 year old IG plaster pool and thanks to this site I've had good success with liquid chlorine. I'm finally tired of adding the LC and was debating adding a Stenner pump but believe I have decided to go the SWG route. My pool was built with a Hayward...

    Stenner Pump Design Issues? with hose mar unevenly

    Hope this is the right area. I have an automatic dosing system that turns on 2 Stenner pumps that dose Chlorine and Acid. The pool builder installed them vertically beside my Evoqua Sentinel so the motor is facing the ceiling and the hose head is facing the floor. This weekend I had a leak spit...

    Advice needed- Vacation, a cover, and a Stenner pump

    Okay, so I am going out of town soon and will be gone for 2 weeks. I currently have a Stenner pump that injects .3 gallons of 10% chlorine a day, to keep it around 2-3 ppm. All levels are fine (minus hard water but that's a city water issue) and it stays clean and clear. I get 4-6 hours of full...

    Stenner Pump Location

    I went ahead and bought the stenner pump hoping that our local pool builder would be able to install it, and I was told it was too much of a liability since it's set up on a timer and not automation. I was also told that it would have to be installed too close to the Triclor feeder and would...

    Stenner pump questions

    So the pool has been re-plastered (in my 4th week) and I want to automate the PH control/MA addition. Planning on doing the same for chlorine if it works for MA. I read a lot about these Stenner pumps, but have a hard time on deciding which type is best suited for MA addition. Any...

    Muriatic Acid Automation - In a (Mostly) Closed Pool Room

    I'm considering a stenner pump or DIY to automate muriatic acid injection. This is the final step to mostly put things on auto pilot. However, I'm concerned about potential corrosion given my pool equipment is in a mostly closed room. As it is, I have white stains starting to show on the...

    Tubing for Stenner / Peristaltic Pump for Chlorine

    Exactly type of tubing do folks use for their chlorine pumps? And what longevity do you get? Any reason not to use the cheap black 1/4" landscape drip tubing - such as Raindrop? Both the landscape drip tubing and the Stenner "FDA Approved" UV black tubing are polyethylene - though it is...

    Bulk Chlorine/Bleach in Austin, TX?

    Hey all, I’m looking to build out a stenner chlorine pump for my pool in Austin, TX. It seems like getting a low % chlorine in a 55 gallon drum would simplify pool season and the stenner build. Anyone know where I could by a 55 gallon drum of chlorine in Austin? Any other bulk options? Thank...

    Stenner Pump Install Questions & Guidance

    Okay, so I've decided to bite the bullet and go with a stenner pump for chlorine dosage "automation". I was going to go down the "budget alternative route" but came to a conclusion that there wasn't much that seemed reliable in the budget options (and I'd prefer to have this a "once and done"...

    Stenner Pump recommandation?

    Et all, I've finally given up on my HASA Liqidator. One of the cheap plastic float valves has broken as I was cleaning out the yearly salt buildup. Here's my question. I want to run a variable rate Stenner pump connected to my pump timer that I run approximately 10 hours a day. If I recall what...
