Hello!
I would like to know if there is a recommended start time and run time for the pump during Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter?
I have heard the pump should run overnight in winter (to prevent water from freezing at nights), and for at least 12 hrs in summer starting early morning. I do not understand the logic behind the summer start time and run time. I have been adding chlorine to the pool before sunset and I thought what if the pump runs overnight all year round? Then I read THIS, it seems the pump needs to run only 1 hr after adding chemicals. Beyond that, it is just a preference
Also, do you guys add chlorine every day all year round? How can I avoid this at least for fall and winter?
