How Long to Run Your Swimming Pool Pump
You should run your pool pump long enough to circulate all the water at least once daily, typically between 6 and 12 hours depending on your pool size, water temperature, and how often you swim. Warmer water and heavy use call for longer runtimes, while cooler conditions need less.
Using timers and automation helps save energy and keep your water clear. If you want to get the most from your pump, there are smart ways to fine-tune its schedule.
