Any ideas for an effective UV system for less $$? Nothing fancy. What options are there for a smaller spa (<300gal.)?

My very unscientific testing showed it was providing no benefit. It looked like I was using more chlorine with it plugged in. I have an autocover so my pool only gets sunlight only when we are using it. Once it was unplugged my FC drop seemed less between uses, unfortunately I did not log my results in the pool math app so I don't have the numbers to back it up.

Look at SpectaLight UV. They make an in-line single bulb system.

Very likely. UV-C does interact with chlorine and will neutralize it. If there are no organics around to oxidize, the UV light will destroy FC.

It was your recommendation that spurred the "experiment". Thanks for sharing your knowledge Matt!
