Complete newbie getting started with my first pool

[McLovitz]

Running the SWG at 80% overnight did its job in getting FC up from 2 to 4 so we're moving in the right direction. I'm going to leave it at 80% since we're targeting FC of 5 and see where we are after a day of the sun shining on the pool. The water certainly has that crystal clear look again this morning. If the FC remains around 4 or 5 at the end of the day, then the question is just where I need to set the SWG to have it maintain at that level.

It's a balance between the pump run time and the % of the SWCG. How many hours does the pump run with the 80%

I think that's the root of my issue. Initially I was running the pool at a low speed nearly 24/7 (1100 RPM)... I just realized I must have set a schedule on the Intelliflo and it was running many less hours. So while 20%-40% was cutting it before, now it wasn't running long enough to generate the FC I needed.
