How long should I run my pool pump?
This is a question with a varying response depending what the season is. As the days get longer and warmer you should gradually increase the run time on your pool pump until you get to around 12 hours a day by memorial Day. Heat and direct sunlight will degrade the Chlorine that keeps your pool safe to swim and also keeps algae at bay.
Whether you have a freshwater or saltwater chlorination system your pump has to run in order for your pool to be chlorinated, and as the days grow longer and hotter the demand for chlorine increases so your pump run time has to correspondingly increase.
You should keep your pool pump at about 12 hours a day until mid to late September and gradually cut it back to about 6 hours a day by the end of November.
