All I have is this big controller on a plate that for the life of me, I can't figure out how it would come off to use as a mount and there aren't really...

    Pump running time

    When we put the pool in during the summer, we ran the pump 24/7 for the first four months. Water chemistry and everything were great. We put up a leaf net tent for mid-Oct to mid-Dec and cut back pump to about 10 hrs/day. No problems at all. I've since cut pump back now to about 7 hrs/day...
