Yep, mine was up to a 9oz per day habit. Lush! In addition to the chore of it, I didn't like the way that yanked my CSI around, every day, in and out of ideal range. So there's the convenience factor, but also the stability factor.
By that I mean: I use an IntellipH. It's very similar to a Stenner, with a few perks unique to it (or at least challenging to replicate with Stenner). My IntellipH couples with my IntelliChlor, and they are "aware" of each other through the IntellipH controller. The IC shuts down briefly, during each acid injection, so that the two chemicals don't mix in the pipe. The IpH makes use of the flow switch in the IC, so it won't inject without flow. And they both dose small amounts many times a day, and on the same schedule (during the same 7-hour period). So the pH-rise I experience from the SWG, seven hours a day, is being countered by the acid during that same time period. And because I'm dosing chlorine throughout most of the daylight hours, the IC is countering FC loss during the hours it most happens. Which all leads to both FC and pH levels being much more even and stable throughout the entire 24 hour day, than they would be if I just dumped in a daily chunk of chlorine, then 15 minutes later a daily chunk of acid. And way more stable than if I tried to give myself a break by dosing every other day, or every third day.
So I get convenience along with water conditions that (I think) are much better for my plaster and my family (skin, hair, eyes, etc).
I shudder to think what my old plaster, and my old body, were enduring by my pool being dosed once a week by the pool guy...
