Hello again. I need help from experts here...
Meanwhile I am writing and documenting the
wiki of the project , I am thinking about the possibilities and upgrades of the system, and now I'm circling a possible improvement about sun times besides temperature, to control filtering time.
Currently, the system calcs the filtering cycle time in function of temperature of water inside the pool.
Now, I want to include an option for control SWCG instead of bleach injection, but for what I have seen here and around, the production of FC is usually lower than bleach injection, so maybe the time to filter could be determined more for chlorine creation needs than for temperature. As one of the great factor of loosing FC is the sun, and with Home Assistant we can easyly build a sensor of UV rays our pool is receiving, to estimate FC loosing and start filtration when needed. Once filter has started, we could use ORP meassurements (after one hour) to get more real needs of FC than only UV rays (bathers, wind, cover, etc.)
( so, when days cloudly, less filtering and less SWCG usage ).
Please, I need feedback about this idea, before develope it. Take into account I cant test it, because I dont have SWCG, and almost no FC loose because a permanent UVA cover.
I dont know..., maybe it could be good for work with a less CYA levels.
Thanks in advance.
