Yes you’re all correct. I shouldn't have said .5 for CL (I was just thinking out loud) (I changed it in the first post), but I would like to maintain the pool more regularly at whatever level it is. I typically only have to shock about 4 times a year and it is almost always after we have leaky little swimmers or add bay water with algae and other fun living small things. We test the water before every swim and add 8 oz after, but that isn't always enough to catch it and a day or so later we have a murky pool. We don't have the CL smell at all under normal situations, but when we shock the pool we have to keep the cover off and then it smells pretty good for a week or so even with the exhaust on high and I hate to have people over then. Almost everyone who comes over is amazed that the house or even the poolroom doesn't smell like CL.
And yes being indoors we have very little organic things introduced other then bather load to the pool. Right now I use just liquid CL at 12% and use about 1 gallon every other week. Not sure if that is a lot or not.
Do the units cycle on and off or are they variable do they sense the CL and adjust or is it a timed thing as Waste suggested?
Our problem, as with many pools, we have our family in at least every other day (1 year old baby boy, 2.5 year old girl and 4 year old boy). Then we have 16 nieces and nephews who are over at least twice a month and both my wife and I have kids pool parties for the people we work with. So something that just maintains the water under these odd loads would be wonderful. Maybe I am thinking they do more then they really do?
