Hi,
I am trying to optimize the pump running time. Some background: the previous owner used to run the pump 24/7; there is only one working skimmer (the other was filled following a leak).
Here's the question. Pool school says "It is important to remember that as the water temperature increases during the summer, chlorine extinction will increase so you may need to add more chlorine to the pool which may or may not require more pump time depending on the method of chlorination." I could not find more details in other forum threads - in particular, which methods require more time. Any insights or links?
So far, I am using trichlor pucks in the skimmer basket plus liquid chlorine as needed (only needed once in the two months we've controlled the pool).
Thanks!
