gqjeff, I have been experimenting last few years with minimum pump time and maximum % (100%), in order to minimize my power bill. Right now, in this extreme heat, I'm getting away with 6 hrs (2 hrs x 3 times a day) run time and the 100%. I've also been running an extra 6 hrs once a week or so to do some superchlorination during the hottest periods. Everything seems to be working fine for me. In cooler weather (say, low 80's or below), I drop the run time back to 4 hrs total, but stay at 100%. Of course, your setup may work differently. Not everyone wants to run on 100% (for cell life considerations), but my view is that if it's only for a few hrs a day and it works out, there's no harm done. The SWG is really cheap to run (just from a power usage standpoint) compared to the pump. So, figure out how to minimize your pump time, to get the minimum amount of circulation/filtration you require, and then just run the SWG % up as high as you have to, to maintain the chlorine level you need.
