    SWCG vs Heater pump run time, Timer, Small Pool (~1,500 gal)

    I may be overthinking this, but I'm wondering what to do if you need more pump run time for the heater than you do for the SWG? Without over-chlorinating our pool? I'm thinking with how small ours is (1,600 gal), the pump may need to run a lot longer to heat in the cooler months than what is...
