Re: i'm running my pump at night. bad idea ?
FWIW, I try to follow Ben's sage advice over on poolsolutions.com...http://www.poolsolutions.com/gd/avoiding_algae.html...at least 6 hours of pump run time divided into at least 2 time periods.
My electric provider has no difference in rates during the day, so I run more pump time in the daytime when I'm trying to warm the pool. Just like Janet (aylad) in LA, I schedule more run time overnight when I'm trying to cool the pool a bit. My pool water hit 90 yesterday 
so I guess I need to make some daytime-to-nighttime adjustments. Currently, I run 2 hours "over lunch" (11a-1p), 4 hours 4p-8p, and another 2 hours 3a-5a, for a total of 8 hours.
