I already have the pump, plumbing, tank and a timer. My question is, can I just connect my pump to a relay in my Pentair easytouch control panel and control the pump with any auxiliary option instead of using the digital timer?

Correct. You put the power to the pump through the relay. Then you can program within the ET the time(s) you want the chlorine pump to run. You should integrate that with the pump relay so it will only run when the pump is running.
Thanks for your reply. This is my thoughts exactly. I’m new to to this but reading through this site, I’m learning quickly.

It can be added at any time. Spread it out over your normal pump run time, etc. You will find some members add their liquid chlorine in the evening. That way the higher FC level is not reduced by the sun over night.
It is better to put the chlorine in slow (4 hours or so) or fast (1 hour or less)?

Does not really matter when using that system. Whatever works for you.
I have mine set to full flow, and run it for 40 minutes per day.
6:10a-6:30a

My pool pump runs 6:00-10:00 am and pm.
