new to pool, service guy has pool running 4 hours nightly 7 days a week. water temp is around 40 degrees. what do you guys do here. 20,000 gallon inground pool.
I live in Houston. with the recent "cold" weather our pool water temperature is in the low 50's. I've cut the pump back to two hours and left the cleaner at an hour and a half per day. I also turned down our saltwater chlorinator to zero as I'm told it no longer functions with the water reaches around 55 degrees.
I'm in chandler also with a 42,000 gallon pool and was told to run it according to the high temperature i.e. if the high is 70 run it 7 hours, high 50 run it 5 hours etc. maybe I'm running it too much!
As a general rule nearly everyone is running their pumps too much Recent research has shown that in most situations pump run times don't even need to be half as long as they typically are right now to get the same effect, at a substantial savings in electricity.
