I second javadog. That is exactly what we do. I also brush the pool at least once a week because I'm in it often too. The pool store guys are very helpful and we buy chems from them if have a good price. We run the pump when sunshine is on the surface and we use algaecide occasionally. Inline chlorinator and "KN" filter, easy upkeep. Easy to keep in check.
