    Ideally, run the filter after swim use.

    Initially, you should add chlorine (a) whenever it's too low but otherwise (b) in the evening, so it can work all night without being lost to the sun.

    OK - perfect. So, if I add it at night, do I need to run the filter all night or, assuming we don't swim that day, can I add chlorine at night but shut the filter off for the night as well. I guess the better question is - how long does the filter need to run after adding chlorine. Thanks again!

    Run the pump for a couple hours after adding chemicals.
