On my system I planning to do a drip, though it will be close to 200 gal per day due to the amount of water I will have running. As such filters to pull out chlorine will go bad very quickly. Going with a chemilizer and a can full of mixed sodium thiosulfate, so it'll be cheap to run and bond with the chlorine.

So anyone using one still? How have you liked it? Has anyone bought one recently? Seems they no longer make the 1:500 model, only 1:100 and 1:128. I found the 500 model, however it now sells for well over $400. I'd just rather mix up my solution more often. Unless someone knows where to find them? Or a reliable alternative?

Edit- Of course right after I posted I found this-

So looks like they sell a part to make it so I can get the 500:1 ratio, but I have to pay an extra $85. Not sure that is worth it.

And second edit, of course after my update I find more. Apparently they have an adjustable model now-

Anyone using this one? Seems the adjuster is a possible breaking spot.
