After a long debate with myself to whether get a salt system, mineral system, getting quotes from different builders I ended up doing it myself with a stenner install.
I wasn’t planning on doing it since Covid it is hard to find bleach/chlorine around me but i think it is for the best.
I went with Econ T which pumps max of 8.5 gallons of chlorine in a day - more than enough for any pool.
i set it up to run 1 hour after dark and 1 hour early in the morning which should give me around 45 oz of liquid add on every time it runs. I will probably need to adjust it as I go. I realized my test kit needed a refill so i do not have exact pre and post measures yet in terms of FC.
Hopefully no more worrying about the pool so I can relax on vacations.
For chlorine tank I went with an old chlorine tablet bucket. Just drilled a hole on the lid for the pipe and it should hold for now near the equipment pad. I do have plans to put it in shade under my sunroom but first I need to clean all the Crud under it.
I dont have ton of pictures but I will take some tomorrow of the setup when its light out.
this was also my first pool plumbing fix. That first cut was hard, but once I got it cut rest was easy.
