Im putting together a liquid chlorine dosing setup using a stenner econ-t pump with their 7.5 gallon tank. I’m injecting at the pool return line (so spa always gets non-chlorinated water). Since I have a new Polaris 380 running via booster pump I thought maybe the best time to dose would be when the cleaner is running: that way the chlorinated water gets dispersed evenly around the pool via the cleaner and added at top level by the normal returns. The booster pump intake comes just after the dose point.
What I’m wondering is whether the slow drip of chlorine might damage the cleaner’s PVC, tubing, fittings etc while operating, or if its so diluted that it poses little risk.
The pump I’m using is 5gpd and will run continuously during the dosing cycle. That works out to .003472 gallons/min, or about a half ounce of 12.5% sodium hypochlorite per minute. Split between the normal returns and the cleaner, thats maybe a quarter ounce per minute mixed in with 30gpm or so regular pool water running through the cleaner.
