Best Time to Run SWG/Pump?

[Dadof4]

How long do you run your SWGs?

Also, when you do think is the best time to run it, or do you think it matters? I could see logic in running during the sunlight, when clorine is being burned off. And I can see logic in running at night, so that the newly generated clorine has more time to sanitize and oxidize before being burned.

What do you all do?

I run mine twice a day starting at 6:00AM and a second cycle at 5:30PM. Each cycle is 1.5 hours with SWCG at 50%. I can get away with the shorter run times because my pool is only 7,000 gallons.

I run mine for about 5 hours during the heat of the day so my heatpump is going to be most efficient and again for 3 hours in the evening when I'm most likely to use the pool after work during the week.

I have an Intelliflo 4x160 pump running at about 1000 rpm for about 16 hrs/per day. So I run my SWG at around 10-15% almost continuously.
