i'm running my pump at night. bad idea ?

Chem Geek has the principals correct.

I split my run time just so the water gets stirred up a couple times a day.

Rent a gang of 10-12 year old boys to stir your pool everyday. They'll be happy to for pizza and soda!

Can I use 20 yo college girls instead ?

I run my pump from midnight to 0600 when the rates are low. And I switch it on when the dogs are in the pool and for a couple hours after to skim the dog hair.

I've been doing this for 2 weeks ever since we got the timer and have not noticed a difference in chlorine levels, Cl consumption, or any new and unusual algea blooms. I test the water daily with a Taylor kit.

My new plan is to run the pump on recirculate during swimming and on filter during the night.

And my really new plan is to sit on the pool deck with my .22 and shoot Japanese beetles. Before they land in the pool. They are b-a-a-a-a-d this year!

OK.. here is a scenario to discuss:

My rates are lower from 9pm to 9am. Is it better to run the pump in the evening from 9pm to 3am or in the moring from 2am to 9am. Since I have a SWCG my though was to run it as late as possible into the moring so it starts the day with a good dose of chlorine. would it be better to get chlorine back into is asap after the sun has cooked it off ?

or buy some more tippers for my timer and split it into 9pm to 12am and then again from 6am to 9am ??? ohh the options are unlimited I guess

Which improves in proportion to the empties of Yuengling Lager that're tossed over the edge of the deck. O yay!





Yah, ok. I'm kidding. But these beetles are making my imigination run wild.
