No - I like the logic and just had not mentioned that I actually feed my chlorine in 2 different times during the day trying to smooth out the peak and valley of a single dosing. Spreading it out more would be nice, but Pentair has a max number of timers I can run. My typical summer day is pump on at 1 PM, off at 10 PM. I put half of the chlorine in at 1:00 and the other half at 6:00. I was thinking along the same lines - it burns off in the afternoon hottest sun so I give it a jolt at the beginning of the heat and then as the sun settles down I add the other half to bring it back up for the evening and overnight. So I like the idea of a slow constant feed, I just wasn't a fan of running a pump all the time. I will also note that I'm glad I don't run all the time as my equipment is on the side of the house and I mounted the pump to the house. When it runs I can slightly hear it inside. I'm glad I don't have that hum all day long.
I'll really only say, there is likely no wrong answer, and we can overthink it, but this is why we like tinkering and doing it ourselves.
There is nothing wrong with the automation you note and use. Very good idea. The rest of my house is automated with Insteon switches, remote HVAC control, remote alarm, Ring doorbell, sprinkler control. You get the idea. It's almost as much of a hobby as anything.
