Have a 33’ round above ground pool. Going to go ahead and buy a pump for the liquid chlorine( since I done ruined all my shirts and pants from little bleach spots). What brand and pump size would be a good choice. Also what size reservoir would you suggest for the liquid bleach. Last year was my 1st year doing the liquid bleach and I was happy with the results. Thanks for the help.

I installed my Stenner Pump last year and LOVE it! Here's what I purchased and I think this would fit your needs too:
45MPHP10 - Stenner Pumps Chemical Feeder
WIFI Timer
ULINE 15 GALLON TANK
Here's my setup:
Thanks for the reply. How do you have the Stenner pump hose line connected back to the pool system.
For this type of pool I would recommend a chlorine tan feeder. Rainbow makes a good one.

Looking on amazon I see the stenner45 mphp10 for $269 and I also see a stenner 85mphp17 for $ $244. Would the 85 be a better pump since it has a higher gpd.

Either would work for your pool. The 85 series is more RPMs than the 45 series which allows more gallons to be pumped per day. The pump tube size that comes with the stenner dictates the amount of chlorine that can be pumped per day. Take a look a this link to see the differences.

Here’s how I got it setup. Used the pump for the 1st time today. Have it hooked up to the WiFi timer mentioned above. Is it best to put chlorine in different times of day or all at once. Eventually going to get another timer for pool pump to turn off at night time.

My Stenner comes on at 9PM. This gives the chlorine an all night dwell time without any light to break it down. I'm sure others will weight in on how they do it.
This is a very informative thread on chlorine injection. Thanks to all for sharing their know how.

I use my WiFi timer and set it to run at 3 different times per day. I like the idea of keeping a steady level of chlorine throughout the day. We have a lot of kids over most days.
I installed the 45 pump recently and I run mine about 4 hours a day at 2gpd right now. That keeps the chlorine level very consistent throughout the day. As the days get longer I plan to run the pump longer and will also probably need to increase the GPD as the temp rises.
My reservoir is also buried.
I used a 1/4 inch thread tap to thread a hole in the return plumbing for the 1/4 inch stenner injector with check valve. If you do that I recommend practicing on some scrap pvc first.
