i have a new pool 60 days old and from what I can see I can turn my water over twice in 6 hours is there any reason that i should run my pool pump longer?
should i run it all 6 hours during the day or two 3hr time slots..... or 8hrs or more.....

the pool gets full sun from 10am-8pm

my pool.... 10,500 gals, pool/spa, whisperflo 2-hp pump, 150sq clean&clear filter, autopilot digtal, aqualink, hayward heat pump....

If you can, two time slots is usually better than one. I like to run my pump as short as possible so I usually run it 1 to 1.5 turnovers per day all duriing the heat of the day for solar. I have never run the pump for more than 2 turnovers and don't have any problems keeping it clean.
