I agree that you do not need to dilute your chlorine. It's certainly not worth it for one week and temps below 90F. I forgot that The Liquidator will normally be around the temperature of the pool water rather than the ambient temperature when the pump is running, though at night when the pump is off I would expect its temperature to drop somewhat (but probably not by more than 10F) which helps keep it more stable. When I first wrote about possible dilution in the other thread, the context was with people having The Liquidator outside even exposed to sunlight, and then people talked about shading The Liquidator, etc. At that time, no one knew how long before the chlorine would be replaced in The Liquidator though I suppose we could have figured that out based on the 4 or 8 gallon container size.
As for using pool water for dilution (not that you need to do that), in theory it would be OK if the pool water was extremely low in metals, but even decent pool water probably has some level of metals (iron, copper, nickel) in it (even when there is no staining) and it doesn't take much to catalyze the decomposition reactions of chlorine. Remember that pool water came from tap water, plus has exposed metal in the water. I think the only way to know for sure would be to experiment both ways, using pool water and using distilled or filtered water done at the same time (in two containers) and later comparing the drop in chlorine concentration over time, but my hunch is that it's safest to use distilled or filtered water. But for most people's use of The Liquidator, dilution will not be necessary.
