    Again, the risk to you, from the high ALK, is precipitating a calcium cloud. You do NOT want it to go higher. But if you keep the pH down, and leave the pool uncovered at least some of the time, the ALK will gradually go done.

    So, leaving it on at night, and off during the day, should be fine.
