another silly question - pump usage

[celticlad]

I've been given various pieces of advice on how long per day I should run my pump......(on 14,000 Lt above ground pool with sand filter)......can anyone make some experience derived suggestions??...thanks...:)

Typically 8-10 hrs. per day unless you are having algae or cloudy water problems and then it is 24/7.
