Is there any particular reason why PoolMath doesn't include 2.5 gal jugs as an option?

The yellow square containers of liquid chlorine in my area only come in 2.5 gal. It's not a big deal as I can manually log it, just something I noticed now as I'm performing a SLAM. I'm assuming it's not common to add this quantity of chlorine on a regular basis?

It's not common, and like you said, only for SLAM.

The container size on the FC tab is also kinda a smoke screen. No matter which size you select, you have to add the same amount. It will tell you to add 304 ounces (or whatevs). You know the 2.5 gal jug is 320 oz and you can just add the whole thing.

Most of us eyeball the jugs anyway, big or small. It doesn't need to be exact for chlorine or Muriatic Acid. Darn close is close enough.
