    If your CYA is actually 100, then anytime you let the chlorine drop below 8 ppm you're opening the door for the algae. I would shock the pool. I really think you're just wasting money to run the pump/filter more than 12 hours daily unless it's a really undersized pump.

    Cool. Thanks. I'll try & keep the CL higher - right now the pool is nice & sparkling...
