    Most pools require 1 to 2 turnovers per day for proper filtration. Here is a thread on how to calculate turnover.

    Not working on an algae kill- My CYA is high (135) so in order to maintain balance I have to run a high chlorine. Based on Bens best calculations I need to keep my Free chlorine between 8-15 ppm. It is working - my pool is crystal clear!
