So I was thinking of making something so I only have to deal with Cl like 2x a month. This is going to get hairy.
So, saw this on amazon - Amazon.com: DC 12V Solenoid Valve, DN20 G3/4" 1 In 4 Out Normally Closed Plastic Electromagnetic Switch Water Drain Flow Switch Solenoid Valve: Home Improvement
then i saw this - Amazon.com: JBtek 4 Channel DC 5V Relay Module for Arduino Raspberry Pi DSP AVR PIC ARM: Computers & Accessories
pair that with a Raspberry Pi some wire and some PVC tubing and 4 PVC "tanks" (as well as one of those aquarium air check valves) I could have 4 Cl adds done via Programming
Assuming i know the approximate Cl usage for my pool that is.
am I crazy? This project would cost ~ $30-40 (i have an extra Raspberry Pi laying around ( extra 30-40 if you don't) and a 3d printer for custom parts)
would be using 12% cl which lasts ~3days per gal
Valves and tubes are PVC which are good with Cl at 12%
