I had a thought. We are going on vacation for a week later this year.. It occurred to me that since bleach is heavier than water, if I put a gallon of bleach with the cap off at the bottom of the pool it will take some time to diffuse through the opening into the pool. I can control the diffusion rate by making the opening smaller, (I.e. a nail puncture), etc.
Soo. If I could figure out the right opening for the right rate of diffusion, I could do something like set 3 gals of LC on the bottom of the pool when we leave for a super cheap slow release chlorine dispense solution. I imagine there might be an issue in that at first it will diffuse more rapidly.. but this is not rocket science. as long as its in the ballpark, I dont have to have someone come by and do it.
I plan to start testing this in my pool experimentally. I'm sure if I had more chemistry and fluid dynamics expertise I might be able to figure it out.
Has anyone ever tried this?
Thanks.
