I know UV shouldn't be used as primary sanitation. Many outdoor pools get plenty of sunlight. Here in the north, we like to keep our pools covered so the UV hits the cover and heats the pool.
Our pool is covered unless we're entertaining (weekends when the weather cooperates?), doing swimming lessons (60 minutes like 12 nights / year). Kids are young, so we really don't use the pool a ton during the week after work, because we're into bedtime routine.
With that background, I'm guessing that our pool actually is more like an indoor pool in terms of the amount of UV that it gets - if we're not actively in it, it's covered for safety and heating reasons. In a situation like this, is it beneficial to use UV at a small amount (say enough to turn the pool once / day) to eliminate any Chloramines / organics?
