Ok I have tested the needle valve that I posted a link to earlier in the thread.

I just found it way to hard to get the flow I was desiring (about 4 fl oz / hour). The adjustment just wasnt fine enough for me.
I also have been testing this one with good results so far.

I unfortunately order the rc10, which didnt allow me to adjust the flow low enough also. I ended up just epoxying a thin piece of plastic under the roller, allowing me to squeeze the tube tighter. There is still too fine a line between no flow, and too much flow. Probably has a little to do with my 1 speed, 12 year old pump!
I have been using this setup for 10 days and just refilled my tank today (7 gallon walmart, $12). The threads on the 1" pipe I used for the down tube didnt quite match the jug's lid threads, so I just forced it and it essentially retapped the soft plastic of the lid. Lucky!
Its drawing 10oz / hour, which isnt ideal, but I can live with it for now. Ill just have to adjust my water/acid ratio.
Thanks to this site I have gone from a puck floater and daily maintenance, to refilling the acid jug every 10 days currently. The Zodiac CL generator I picked up off Craigslist for $100 is still going strong, fingers crossed.
I plan on running with this valve for a few weeks to see if it stays consistent, I'll try and tweak the flow just a smidge.[attachment=0:1k4mxile]Pool3.JPG[/attachment:1k4mxile]
