I know a lot of posters are anti-liquid solar cover and I'm sure you are right, but right now I'm trying to cut down on heating costs, even if just a little. In that line, does anyone know if I can manually add Liquid Heat daily, without buying/installing an expensive automatic feeder? I have a pretty large pool surface (~1025 Sq ft) so I would need several of those expensive little balls at a time. What I would like to try is to just add 2.5 (1 oz. per 400 sq ft) ounces of the bulk Liquid Heat into the skimmer basket each day with a medicine dropper for a while and see if I get any improvement. A cover would be hard for me since I have a "free form" type pool and my wife would have a hard time removing "pieces" if I were to cut up/combine two solar covers.
gabagoo - did you notice any problems from quickly draining the solar ball vs. having it absorb over 4 hours?
Thanks
