Did a few searches in the search bar before posting. Haven't had to post much since most can be found in previous threads...
I have a 1.5hp single speed pump and a Intermatic mechanical timer. I just got the timer working again and bought some new trippers for it, so I'm looking for advice on how long and at what times to run the pump.
I have two ON trippers and two OFF trippers (not including the OFF tripper that doesn't work for my model), so I can have it run twice a day.
How long should I run my SS pump for?
Should I run it during the day when the pool is hottest?
Would running it twice a day for 4 hours each be more beneficial than once for 8 hours?
Edit: I realize some of this info was in the Pool School article on pump run time, but I'm just looking for anecdotal info.
