Hi, this is exactly what I'm looking for. I live in the Palm Springs area and the water temps here get into the 40s and 50s this time of year.
Any opinions on how long we 'need' to run the pump? I keep my FC around 5-7 and CYA around 40. Currently I run the pump 4 hrs (9 hrs in heat of summer when water temp pushing 95 deg).
I am looking to run the pump only 2 hrs per day, and vacuum weekly which will also tend to circulated the water.
Will algae grow under these conditions? I've also considered turning the pump off completely but I don't want to stare at green water if that's going to be the outcome.
Thanks for any replies --
