Oh yeah. My pump has been running nonstop for the past month for the most part. I ran the pump only for 10-12 hours for 2-3 days with the solar cover on and we got a lot of rain. When I took the cover off, I had a dead mouse in the pool and had super cloudy water. I've been waging a war with the water ever since and this is ultimately led me to this website. I was constantly making trips to the pool store, having them test my water, and then buy their chemicals which really didn't do much. My water eventually cleared up and looked alright, but if I stopped the pump I knew I'd be in trouble again. I knew it was time to take matters into my own hands and make things right.
