You should have your stenner get its power from a source that is only hot when the main pump is on.
Stenner pump for chlorine. Help with sizing and install ideas

- Start date
Hello all - thank you all for your replies - appreciate all your inputs - asked my PB to quote me the difference b/w ET 4 vs ET 8 (keeping in mind I see the wiring of the Stenner to the ET8 on this thread) - he quoted me $636 to upgrade to ET8 - does that cost seem reasonable?
Also I was searching for the Stenner pump online and came across: Stenner 15 Gallon Tank System With 100 PSI Adjustable Pump 1/4 Inch Tube - will this work?
I called a few pool companies in my area and found 1 guy who says he can do the install - quoted me $135 (told me to call him once everything was installed)

I have the same pump 100psi 10GPD (mine is 120v).
I keep the adjustable portion set to full flow so I don't wear out the ratcheting mechanism, and set my timer accordingly.
For my pool, it runs about 1/2 hr per day in 2 sessions of 15 minutes each.

Tex - I think there is probably no difference in how ET4 vs ET8 would need to be wired. ET8 just has 4 more relays than ET4. Up to you if you need the additional capacity. I cant comment on the pricing difference
Curious how the stenner pump could be set up with easytouch. Would I wire it in to a relay and use an Aux button on the panel?

I would consider an Econ T since it has an onboard timer built in. Probably easier to program and has a battery backup to keep time during power outages.
i have an Econ T and it is not tied to the pumps on/off cycle. I simply program 30 minutes or so of dosing to fall within the pumps duty cycle (in my case a window of about 20 hours). This is a personal choice, but probably not a huge hazard with liquidity chlorine. I recently converted to dosing MA and this setup has worked beautifully. Granted I don’t have a heater to worry about.
