Perhaps not pertinent, but...

1) Chlorine evaporates.
2) Tygon/vinyl tubing/etc. are porous.

- It may be that the evaporation of chlorine is slow enough to not affect the biocidal affects.
- It may be that the initial concentration of chlorine isn't enough to affect any parts of your system.

Huh? As long as Chlorine is in solution it shall effect every part of a loop.

Chlorine may evaporate but so does water, anti freeze and any other chemical a user is inspired to dump in a loop.

The fact is chlorine needs to be tested in a live loop for 6 months along with some anti corrision fluid.

indeed. would be interesting to know how much clorine evaporates - id assume faster than water, as clorine has to be topped up in the likes of pools more often than the water does. Id imagine that 6 monthly water changes would be enough to stop issues, though - and you could run it at a slightly higher concentration (say, 50% again on the swimming pool dosage) - its not like you're swimming in it.

Re: Time to go Water Cooled (need some professional opinions and help!)
 

What I meant is that the chlorine may preferrentially evaporate since it is a lighter molecule than h20. So, it's concentration in the water may decrease.

But, this is all meaningless talk without real testing, as you note.
