Hello all,
Long story short, I have a 23,000 gallon, very exposed pool to south Texas sun, and much prefer the LC route. But as I prefer to add chlorine in the late evening, and my schedule does not allow this I'm looking to automate using a Stenner system, and a 5-7 gallon small drum.
My question is, would there be any problem with feeding this drip into the cap of the existing Trichlor column? I ask because I tend to adjust pump run times quite a bit, for convenience, swim times, etc. So I worry about injecting into plumbing that may accidentally get timed when the pool isn't running. By injecting into the column, I could do up to a days worth of LC (I calculate the column to be a hair over .6 gallons) into a vessel that should be chemically resistant as it is meant to hold concentrated chlorine, and then would just feed in the next time the pump runs with some level of dilution. It would also mean tapping into an easily replaceable cap that could be replaced cheap if it ever leaks, rather than into pool plumbing. It is also on the downstream side of any and all equipment.
Just wondering what thoughts would be, and what downsides that I may not be anticipating.
Also has anyone been successful in wiring it into a Jandy controller, to more easily automate run time to adjust for seasonal fluctuations?
