I added two stenner pumps with 15 gallon grey jugs to my pool for acid and bleach.
I have a Nature 2 system installed by the builder and The only way I could add the feed ports to my plumbing with relative ease was to add one just before the Nature 2 and one just after it.
I am planning on using the one before the Nature 2 as my bleach feed and the one just after as my acid feed. After the feed the only thing left is unobstructed returns to the pool.
I figure the Nature 2 would handle increased chlorine levels better than it would handle lowered ph levels.
I also have an ozonator that has its return plumbed before any of the stenner inlet ports so the water that is running past the bleach, Nature 2, and the acid feed is already ozonated.
I have no easy way of turning on/off the ozonator, it is running 23 hours a day along with my pool pump at super slow speeds.
The stenners are 3GPD spped so I need to run the 6% bleach for about 8 hours a day and the acid for about 1-2 hours once it's diluted to 15% by mixing it 1:1 with water.
So the questions I have are the following:
1) Is my feeding location reasoning appropriate? Will this setup work?
2) Should I feed bleach and acid at different times or concurrently?
3) When is the best time to add acid and bleach to the pool? The pumps are not as quiet as I hoped for so I'd prefer to run them during the day when there is the most demand for chlorine as well.
4) Does it make sense to run the chlorine for 8 hours or should I replace the tube and go with 10 GPD instead and finish the feeding in 2.4 hours istead?
