    Default Re: Pump runtime questions

    Thanks for all the answers. I've been running it 24/7 but I may just run it at night from now on. Is chlorine loss greater on a pool that is being actively filtered or one sitting still?

    I didn't have the option to break up the pump/filter combo. When I asked the question (about getting a smaller pump) to my sales person, I was told that was how it came.... Nonetheless, it is what it is now since the pool is installed. That thing will move some water, that's for sure. If it ever dies or I have any problems, I'll downgrade to a smaller pump.

    I've never understood how Hayward can sell a unit that apparently has a pump too big for the filter. It only increases their chance of a warranty claim.
