    You can save yourself some money on your electric bill. Run the pump for about 8-10 hours per day split into two sessions. That will be sufficient and be cheaper. The exception to this is if you are fighting algae or have cloudy water that you are trying to clear up. In those cases, we recommend running the pump 24/7, but other times, not necessary.
