Hi,
I’m currently using a Stenner Econ T pump to dispense liquid chlorine. During startup testing I found a situation that can potentially cause the pump to continue running and not stopping at the programmed time. Since I saw some users are also using this pump I just wanted to share the information.
The situation can occur if the pump power is cut off when the pump is running and the Timer Off event occurs while the power is off. When the power is restored the pump will continue operating and will not stop until another Timer Off event is triggered.
I shared this finding with Stenner support and they were able to replicate the situation at their office. Their recommendation is to install a redundant external timer as a protection.
I’m disappointed with their suggestion as installing an additional timer will defeat the purpose of getting a pump with an integrated timer but at least should prevent the pump running longer than programmed.
