Hello All!
Just installed a pool heater a couple of weeks ago. LOVE IT! Worth every penny! While everyone around me has closed up we were swimming at night a few days ago in September! (even the wife got in
)
Anyhow a question.....
When adding chlorine or muriatic acid I add it in front of the return so no worries there, but when adding Borax or stabilizer I add it to the skimmer. I have not had a chance to install a bypass for the heater yet so I was wondering what your thoughts are on adding those in the skimmer, through the sand filter, then the heater and out to the pool. I understand that the sand filter will trap most of the borax and stabilizer and more or less delude it before releasing in to the heater and then back into the pool but I'm worried that the even the deluded amount may damage or corrode the heat exchanger.
Thoughts?
On a side note: The pool will probably only remain open for another two-three weeks before closing (however its suppose to be 85 sat and 87 sun here) so my other though was just to do it since I should only have to do it once before closing then next year I will hard plumb with a bypass for the heater and use that bypass anytime I have to shock or add these things to the pool.
Thanks Everyone!
