Hi, i have a pool 8x4 how long should i have the pump running in a 24 hour period at this time of the year when it is not in use by bathers. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Geoff,
We have ours running for 8 hours in "swim season", although it's rarely more than my husband and I using it on a day to day basis. The pump runs from 8am to 12 noon and 4pm to 8pm. We have friends who do the same thing, but they run the second 4-hour period during the night, to take advantage of the off-peak electricity. I seem to remember Jim Taylor saying that some pool chemicals are activated by sunlight, so I think he recommended the pump being run during daylight hours. Here's a link to his guide:
Kind regards,
Kim
