    I am not sure what you meant by this but you really shouldn't try to filter out live bacteria or live algae or it will clog the filter. The only thing that should be filtered out of a pool are dead organics and debris.

    As for turbidity, I run for only 2-4 hours per day and have never had any signs of turbidity. I don't think it is a real issue for most pools.
