Peristaltic pump information moved from Chlorine forum

Edit: Just to keep this in context --- this thread evolved to this discussion from the original "Normal "burn" rate for chlorine in a day" thread in the "Using Chlorine and Chlorinating Chemicals" forum and was moved here at my request.

Thanks Richard ----- WOW!!

Since I am injecting continuously with the peristaltic pump I can expect a higher burn off and I am willing to sacrifice the extra to avoid the yoyo and daily carry and dump routine. My system has a 15 Gallon tank which will last about 26 hours at maximum pumping rate (which I should never have to do) and about a week at a normal injection rate. I'm also sure the burn rate will increase as the days get warmer and the rug rats invade.

Either way the experiment is going well. With an outlay of <$400 for everything and not having to worry about CYA and lugging the jugs, I think I have a winner.

Here's some images of my system:
