Curlee,
Mark (mas985) posted a paper in another thread about a study of pump run times in Florida pools. Very enlightening. I too was advised to run my pump as long as the sun was on the pool. I have been running my pump for 2 1/2 hours for months and can't see any difference in water clarity. Of course it was during winter. I just got in the pool for the first time last week (briefly - I gotta get that solar project to the top of the list). Anyway as temperature and use go up, we'll see if I need to run longer. Seems to me, the most cost savings are achieved when the pump is OFF.

I have to give credit to Ben (PoolDoc) for originally finding the paper.
