As long as you are aware and watching to keep your chlorine levels in the proper range, you'll be fine.

Hope this helps!
I guess I got complacent over the course of the first 2 weeks of July where it stayed above 3.0 ppm, where I didn't really add too much chlorine except for a 2.5 gallon shock on the 1st, some amount on the 9th (probably a quart or two), and then some before a big pool party on the 12th.

I'll keep a better eye on it now so I don't come back with algae problems in the future!
