Maybe try this....approximately, 20 drops is equal to 1cc. So maybe use the graduated cylinder and drop in 100 drops of the reagent. That should be 5cc. Do it with each tip to see if there is a difference. If everything kept clean, the reagent should be able to be added back to its bottle.

OK...will not use the pool cover. Pool has auto level/fill, and that has always worked well. Now to figure out a night cooling cycle on the solar system.... Thanks.

Back to this topic....the need to "summer-ize". Per TFP info, changed pool water, switched to a Stenner pump to feed chlorine bleach (works phenomenally great) and monitor water with TFP test kit. The pool is pretty much on auto pilot now, but I do need to add some acid every few days. Water...

Hey Wyatt, I am exactly trying to follow the advice above. Trying to get TA below 100 and doing that by just what the link explains. Getting to pH 7 - 7.2 is part of the process.

After finding this site, took over pool care myself. Changed water 3 weeks ago, and dialed the water chemistry right in using info from this forum and Pool Math. One issue...I have to keep adding acid to keep pH down to just 7.5. Have targeted 7.3, but have not gotten there even though seeming...

Thought I should close out this thread and this approach. Trying to maintain a consistent, slow, 24/7 trickle of chlorine through an orifice or needle valve doesn't work, at least the things I tried. Reading up on needle valves, even very high-end ones supposedly aren't made to accurately...

Slickcraft: Not to hijack this thread, so maybe respond in a new thread please.... Could you please post details of your injection system? I am looking at Stenner for injection, but their pumps look like overkill for simple pumping chlorine into a pool. Quick note...injecting into the water...

Yikes! I was going to give up on this idea because of the flow rate varying up or down. But over time, it looks like it might average out pretty well. So I'm keeping the water test going....this may work out after all. Cooler comment... coolers are pretty cheap, big for the money, insulated...

I thought the "24/7-low-volume-drip" approach would work to keep a rough baseline Cl range in the pool. But after just 24 hours of playing around and trying three different drip nozzle designs, I see that this approach is likely unworkable - as many of your polite comments indicated that you...

Kim, Thanks. I ended up just using Google Drive to upload the info. Click on this link: Simple DIY Chlorinator.pdf - Google Drive I'll look into supporting TFP...it's a great resource. Thanks!

Hi Teald024....appreciate comments. See if the PDF makes any sense to you. I'm trying to post the details in this PDF link. On TFP everything I try to attach is too big. Simple DIY Chlorinator.pdf - Google Drive

More pics, I think... My Photos Pics are at above link, but not in order, etc. How can I post pics easily here?

AAARggghhhhh!!!! Wrote up the whole thing and got logged out. Lost when I logged back in. Here is a system diagram. I'll re-write and post those details later. Need to post more pics....system won't let me...over my limit???? Have the system running now with water, using a jug for feed, just...

Hopefully not re-inventing the wheel... New to TFP and just changed water and took on my own pool maintenance. Went to TF100 kit testing, liquid chlorine vs tabs, etc etc. Researched all the liquid chlorine feed options from the complex to the simple. Decided to try a DIY simple system first...
