OK, so I've converted from Baquacil to BBB, then got a SWG after learning about them on this forum. The SWG is running now, and I am adding CYA and doing my best to get the pool balanced asap. I'm pretty jazzed about this summer. 8)
My question is this: With Baquacil, I had to run my pool pump 24/7 out of fear of the water getting all cloudy, slime-infested or otherwise goofy. Now, with my SWG, the SWG is wired to be on whenever my pool pump is on (of course I can set it to produce 0% chlorine if necessary)...so is there a 'ballpark' figure as to how many hours a day I should run my pool pump now? I was hoping I could cut back from 24/7, 'cause my electric bill has been pretty hefty the 2 summers I had the Baquacil and 24/7 run time on the pump.
