I moved to an HOA a year ago and am helping to maintain an indoor and outdoor pool here. The indoor pool has a bromine feeder plus a large tank that feeds acid to keep the pool water balanced. An Aquasol Controller is used to set the sanitzer level and the pH level and it all works really well.....very little effort is involved to keep the pool properly sanitized and balanced...... just need to fill the feeders once a week or so.
As for the outdoor pool, I have been manually adding liquid chlorine this year and using the dichlor feeder to supplement. In this way I have been able to keep CYA at a good level..... between 30 and 50.
Recently a pool company told me I could set up a liquid chlorine feeder, so that I don't have to manually add chlorine to the pool. It would work just like the pH feeder tank does in the indoor pool.... fill the tank with chlorine (instead of acid) and let the Controller keep the FC at the predetermined level. Then, periodically refill the tank. I have never heard of this before and was wondering what the TFP community thinks about this. I know that any changes to equipment at a "public" pool requires approval by the state, but this seems like a pretty straightforward change (assuming it make sense). We would simply turn off the dichlor feeder and add a tank to feed liquid chlorine to the pool, as needed. Thoughts? Has anyone seen this type of set up before? Any thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.
