If you're paying that much to run your pool pump for 6 hours, you should look into getting a dual speed pump and running in on low speed for longer to get the same or more circulation for less total kilowats.

I agree, unfortunately running the pump longer is not an option. I would like to keep it around 6 hours a day during the summertime. Electricity in California is outrages. My bill for May was $570.00 and that's with no air conditioner. So if I can run my cell at 60 - 80 % and 6 hours, I will be happy.

Who said that CYA was bad for manually chlorinated pools. There has been discussion in this forum and elsewhere of why the higher CYA levels are useful in pools with SWGS but for practical reasons, which deal mostly with pH control, can be found by readng this thread:Brad S said:FWIW,
I have an intellichlor and run it at 15% 12 hours a day. I keep an FC ~5-6 ppm with cya levels at 40. I know everyone here says run CYA a lot higher with a SWG, but if high CYA is bad for manually chlorinated pools, by my thinking its bad for SWG pools too.
