I had forgotten this old thread and glad somebody rejuvenated it. I think it has possibilities.
As far as being impractical, it seems to me setting a couple of jugs of Clorox in the pool would be pretty painless. They would have to be removed for vacuuming, swimming, etc but that seems easy enough with a rope or something.
I also believe that through diffusion, they will continue to provide chlorine to the pool without the pump.....although the pump would need to be turned on from time to time for even distribution. Along those lines, I don't think you would need to set the jugs at different places in the pool as the pump would quickly circulate and even out the distribution.
What I can't figure out is how OP dteremined when jugs were empty. Do ya'll think you could see the cline just by looking into the jug? I know you can on the Liquidator but it is much easier to peer into the liquidator than a jug of Clorox.
