    Default Running the filter while it is raining

    Do most of you turn your filter off or leave it running when it rains?

    I leave it on.....no reason I can think of to turn it off, unless you have hurricane-style winds blowing enough leaves and stuff into the water to risk stopping up the skimmer basket.

    Same with me. It goes on at 6:30am and off at 8pm (I run on low speed).

    Me, too. Unless my solar panels are on and I am too lazy to go outside and flip the lever to divert water away from the panels. If that is the case (me being lazy), then I'll just go downstairs and flip the switch that turns my pump off. Otherwise, it stays on when it is raining.
