What time of day do you all run your pump?
I have read the pool school section about how long I should run the pump but I was wondering if anyone had a preference about the time of day?
Logic would tell me that during the sunniest part of the day would be the optimal time of day to run the pump as the Sun kills chlorine and promotes algae growth.
On the other hand, my power company offers a discounted power plan sort of like cell phone companies. Power will be cheaper if I use most power at night and on the weekends, but from 1pm to 8pm on weekdays it will cost more, if I choose this plan.
Currently I'm using the standard plan as I have been under the impression that running the pump during the hottest part of the day was important for reasons I explained earlier.
Thanks guys
