The study seems pretty clear to me which states that they SAW no observable difference in water quality after 2 hours. If the debris sinks, then a vacuum can easily remove it without "stirring it up". The only time I have heard of someone having an issue like you are describing is when they just killed a bunch of algae and it sunk to the bottom. That debris is very light weight and can be stirred up easily but when cleaning up algae after it is killed, you should be running 24x7 anyway. But that should not happen very often if you follow the methods taught here.Originally Posted by Teapot
Why only a minute? Chlorine does not stop killing after one minute, it should continue killing these things if the level is set properly.Originally Posted by Teapot
So what? Again, there is no good reason to filter the water at any specific turnover rate. It just doesn't matter to sanitation. Aesthetics, perhaps but only to some.Originally Posted by Teapot
Removing floating debris and debris that has sunk to the bottom of the pool is entirely up to you. It is only based on your personal preference.Originally Posted by mitchryan912
Some people like me could care less if there is a little debris in the bottom of the pool or even on the surface. My priority is to minimize run time.
Other people are quite anal about a pristine pool and thus require lots of run time so every spec of dirt and debris are immediately removed from the pool. However, this desire sometimes comes at a large cost.
