    Yes, CYA of 40 is fine. I'd be curious to see a picture of your jug with a dripper. If you can, send a pic to poolforum AT gmail DOT com and reference the URL of this thread.

    Was your user name when you were on the forum before also NiteSwimmer? Glad to have you back with us again!

    Ok the jug is just something makeshift. I took a lid from the bleach jug and took a very small straight pin, heated it and pushed it through the cap but not through the white inner liner. I then took and put 4 small holes in a square pattern in the inner liner with the same pin. The jug sits upside down in a 2 gallon bucket that has a hole in the bottom just big enough to keep the bleach jug upright, which sits on the deck centered above the skimmer. It would probably work just as well if it I put the jug right in the skimmer though.

    I looked up some old notes I had on the pool and did find some names of who I posted with. It was you, Txguy, ReGuheert, Warddc, Gunslinger, and of course Ben. To be honest I don't remember the very first user name I used,, I'm sure it had "Nite" in it somewhere. I had been off the forum for a while and then I think it was down for a while also but when I went to get back on it I registered again if I remember correctly.
