How many hours a day should our pool pump run?

Answer 1

Long enough to give at least 2 complete turnovers of the water. That depends on filter type and size and the pump model and horsepower. And, of course, the number of gallons in the pool. Sorry, but can't be more specific without more specifics!

Answer 2

It really depends on how well your chlorine stays up to spec. You might get away with running it 8 hrs but I have to run mine 24hrs/day to keep the chlorine feeding. I use tablets in the skimmer. Usually a decent pump will turn the water over once every 8 hrs. Also, it depends on how much trash gets in the pool. Remember no pump, no skimmer.

Answer 3

6 hours for a 10,000 gallon 6hp motor pump.. otherwise 8 hours a day for an 'average' pool / pump combo. Bump it to 24 hours a day if you have found a dead hooker floating anytime recently.

Answer 4

No. operating the pump for 8 hours should be sufficient lower than widespread circumstances. Your pills may dissolve swifter because the water is operating by potential of the skimmer always. do not upload any better pills till the chlorine element drops.

Answer 5

It should run 24 hours a day, as long as it is being used.

Answer 6

Almost all pools are unique due to variables such as pump and filter size, local contaminants such as dust or pollen, amount and time of day pool receives shade, etc., etc., etc....
Run as needed.

Answer 7

Check the information you received with the equipment. I don't have a pool.

Answer 8

I run mine 8hrs a day.

Answer 9

depends on how dirty it is
