I've had our inground pool for a little over a year. I'm adept at testing and adding chemicals but would prefer not to have to handle liquid chlorine manually each day.
I've read articles on Stenner pumps and understand the general concept. I've also read about chlorine degradation due to exposure to heat and light.
Since I'm in northern Florida, the temperature is consistently high most of the year. In addition, we get a lot of sunlight. An outside tank of liquid chlorine would be subject to both issues. Even if I shield the tank of chlorine from light, the heat will still be present. The house is on a slab, so no basement installation is possible.
Does this rule out the use of a liquid chlorinator?
