Good point Kes, apologies for the lack of info.
Didn't take a reading by the time that I had finished last night, but it was between 15 and 20 at 6am today.
Interesting that you suggest not allowing dust to settle on the floor; my thinking here was that vacuuming algae to waste would prevent me having to fight it, and thus I would require less shock for the residual algae. Is my thinking flawed here?
I should have added that I backwashed yesterday for a couple of minutes or so, after vacuuming, and the water appeared to my naked eye to be running clear.
