Hey All,
Well, for a variety of reasons, I finally got my pool up and running. Opened up two weeks ago and finally got all my chemistry where it should be. Even added borates this season, as per Pool School recommendations, and am happy with the results.
In the interim, I received my first warm weather electric bill. Between the AC usage and now the pool pump I nearly fell over.
I have the pump connected to a timer and am wondering if how to effectively run the pump on a schedule and not mess up my chemistry. I'm imagining having the pump run on a "6 hours on 2 hours off" per day but would be interested to know if this is the most effective way to cycle the pool.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
