I recently took over operation of the pools at our hotel, and only recently discovered that Trichlor adds large amounts of CYA. The operator before me never tested for it and I wasn't even aware we had to until now. So I want to switch to liquid chlorine somehow, but I don't really want to add it manually and risk inconsistency and have highs and lows, inviting algae.
We have a gunite pool and a spa, both outdoors and in direct sunlight all day. The pool is 35,000 gals and the spa about 1,200. We normally mainted a FC level of 3ppm in both and would generally go through about 7-8 3" trichlor tabs every 5-7 days in the pool and 3-4 tabs in the spa in the same time frame.
I know for a raise of 3 ppm in the pool I'd need about 2 gallons of 6% bleach so I was thinking that this Stenner pump and tank system would be adequate - http://www.inyopools.com/Products/13100006039299.htm
There's no way they'll let me spend the money on a controller, so would we be all set with just that setup? I also looked into the Chemilizer, but wasn't sure how reliable that was. Any experience with those? Another option was the Liquidator. Is that viable for a pool of this size? Would the Liquidator work well in the spa?
Any guidance appreciated!
