Hi all. I'm relatively new here, but loving the method and I want to get an auto chlorine feeder set up. I have a Pool Frog XL plumbed into my setup now, and I think this weekend I'm going to cut it out and replace it with a straight pipe. At the same time, I'd really love to prepare my injection point for a stenner pump.
So, my questions:
Which Stenner pump should I go for? I've read at least 10gpd is needed. I'm thinking 22gpd sounds good. That would feed in nearly a gallon in an hour, and if I ever needed more than that I'd be manually doing it anyway. If I look in the 25psi category of pumps, I can get up to 50gpd, but in the 100psi category, only up to 22gpd. Which leads me to my next question...
What is the PSI rating on the stenner pumps about? How do I know if I need 25 or 100 psi?
Lastly, all of these pumps say they come with an injection fitting. What does this look like, and what do I need to do to my 1.5" PVC pipe to prepare it for the injection site? Is there a barb or something I need to install?
