    Since you are concerned about Crypto, you don't want to use chlorine since that will take too long to inactivate it. I suggest you take a look at Katadyn Micropur MP1 Purification Tablets that are a combination of sodium chlorite and Dichlor that when dissolved in water will generate chlorine dioxide that will kill Crypto though it takes 30 minutes in clear water and 4 hours in cold and extremely dirty water. Everything but Crypto is killed within 15 minutes.
    15.5'x32' rectangle 16K gal IG concrete pool; 12.5% chlorinating liquid by hand; Jandy CL340 cartridge filter; Pentair Intelliflo VF pump; 8hrs; Taylor K-2006 and TFTestkits TF-100; utility water; summer: automatic; winter: automatic; ; PF:7.5
