This is simple and perhaps somewhat obvious. I need to dose 3/4-gallon of 10% chlorine bleach per day and measuring that out evenly every day is tedious. I alternate between a full gallon and 1/2-gallon. But how do you remember which to dose today? You need a spot to save two jugs.

Day 1) No jugs in spot. Dose a full gallon and save the empty jug in the spot.
Day 2) An empty jug in spot. Dose a half gallon and add the 1/2-empty jug in the spot.
Day 3) An empty and a 1/2 full jug in spot. Dose a full gallon and discard the two empty jugs.
Day 4) A 1/2-full bottle in spot. Dose the 1/2-full bottle and discard.

You are back to Day 1! Day 1 is also a good day to test your FC. So, two reminders have been provided here.

If that works for you, that's great. Good system.

Or Day 1 - 3/4 of a jug, set 1/4 gallon in spot
Day 2 - empty the 1/4, add 1/2 another, 1/2 gallon in spot
Day 3 - empty the 1/2 gallon, add 1/4 jug, leave 3/4 gal in spot
Day 4 - empty the 3/4 gallon

Doesn't have to be super accurate, so this would also work.
 
I'm kind of a wild man when it comes to pouring, and it's hard to differentiate between a sloppy 1/4 and 1/2 or 1/2 and 3/4. Thus, the foolproof system. Also, I never haul more than 1 jug to the pool at a time.
