So I read - http://www.troublefreepool.com/content/152-determine-pump-run-time.
According to this I should run my pump for around 4 hours (single speed pump).
But my pool guy (who I fired) and the store guy mentioned that its better to run it for about 7-8 hours.
Their thumb rule is 1 hour for every 10 degrees of weather.
Right now, it is set to run for 8 hours at night and the weather is around 70.
My chemical levels are (I do not want to replace any more water due to severe drought. I already replaced about 40% to bring the CYA level from 200 to 100).
CYA - Around 100
FC - 8
CH - 625
TA-160
PH-7.5
Do the experts here have any recommendation of how much the pump run time should be for my pool.
Thanks a bunch,
