Cecil - It's at the upper end. Recommended 18ft max. I made sure when putting them in to not go over the 18ft mark.

BZ/Bill - Have not run the pumps in the winter for the past few years prior to the renovation. No problems.....I like to skate so clearing surface has/will not be a problem.

I guess I come back to the question....more or less run-time duration?? I'm thinking I need more data(the whole summer) to make that determination. I'm wanting to find out how the depths beyond the diffusers are affected...if at all i.e. is there any mixing occuring. Any more thoughts???
