6/27/2024 The pump is essentially the heart of the swimming pool's circulation system. There are two factors which determine the time of day when the pump should be operating: chemical demand and energy cost, but how long should it run every day? A "rule of thumb" exists which can be used to determine the length of each pumping cycle. For every 10� F of outside air temperature, run the pump a 1/2 hour. For example, if the average maximum air temperature for a month was 100� F, then the pump should be operating for at least 5 hours per day for that month.
