I have what the power company calls a TOD (time of day) meter, in which daytime electricity (9 AM - 9 PM in the summer months) is more expensive than normal, but nighttime electricity (9PM - 9AM) is significantly cheaper than normal.
How important is it to run the pump during daytime hours, especially since I have a salt-water chlorinator? My pool is a hair over 45K gallons and my pump run time has normally been 12 hours when it's colder (all nighttime) and 16 hours when it's warmer (12 at night, 4 in the hottest hours of the day), or whenever there are people in the pool.
I plan to add borates this year and stay on top of chemical levels, especially FC and CYA - would it benefit me greatly to run the pump during the day?
