    Default Auto-Chlorination? Here might be an option.

    A friend of mine has one of these.....

    http://www.americanhydro.com/product...ng_feeders.asp

    Designed to feed a rust reducing chemical into a well water system. Does a regulated 1gal per hour. Hooking one up to a timer should allow you set dump a set amount per day.

    That's interesting....my question would be it if will hold up to the gas buildup (I'm assuming you're planning to feed bleach).

    Might work, but two issues would be of concern: Bleach is corrosive, so anything in contact would have to be very resistant to lye. Second, bleach degrades with sunlight and heat, so storage would have to be in a cool shaded area or you would have to add bleach to the tank daily, defeating the benefit of the system.

    Might be better to fill the tank with a bleach water mix so the degradation would be slower (as I understand from posts here), and it could be mixed at such a concentration that it could run all day to add the correct amount of chlorine.
