Hello,
I am trying to calculate how long I should run my pool filter. I having difficulty finding the relevant information I need to figure this out. My pool is a free form pool so I'm having difficulty even coming up with an estimate on gallons. I'm attaching a pool shape pic i found online. I believe my pool most closely resembles the mountain pond shape in the jpg. It's about 30 feet long at the longest part and I believe about 15 feet wide in the middle. it's 3 feet deep on both ends and is about 5 feet in the middle. I've taken pics of my pump and the filter. I don't know which #s I should be paying attention to however. The filter #s are on a label that's been dry-rotted so not sure i'm seeing everything i should. I think the pipe to the skimmer is about 1 1/2 in diameter and the pump is about 30 feet from the skimmer. i have been researching on my own to try and figure this out but I just can't put the pieces together. Could really use some help. Previous owners had the pump running between 9PM-2AM but it's starting to warm up so I feel like I need to start running it longer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks you guys!
