    Thanks, I am going to try dropping from 7 hours to 4 and see what happens. At 96 gpm on the filter, it should take just under 4 hours to filter the whole pool.

    My pool is only 7500 gallons, not sure the gpm on it but I run it for 3 hours in the morning and almost 4 hours at night, I'm def. going to lower it this summer.
