Hey all!
I am new to the board today and from North Carolina. We just installed our pool this year, an above ground 24 inch with sand filter.
Anyway, I don't know much about it (husband knows all the specs and such) but I was wondering how long you all run your filter/pump for? Also what is the difference between high and low? I have been running our filter for about 8 hours a day and then turning it off at night and starting it again in the morning. I like to run it on high because I think it works better, but my husband says that running the pump on high for so long will burn it out? Is that accurate? We are just learning about all of this, so forgive me if this is a dumb question!
So, is it okay to run it on high and for how long? How long do you run your filter during the day? By the way, we have absolute crystal clear water and all the chemicals are exactly the right balance.
