Hello. My family and I have never owned a swimming pool before but have had spas for about 13 years. We are looking at buying an above ground sometime before spring but I am trying to do some research before hand. One of the questions I have right now is what are people using to control the filter pump? Are they using a simple on/off timer, a controller to control the speed of the pump(two-Speed pumps), or leaving them on 24-7? I have not found much info on this or the amount of time people are running them. I do understand it would depend on the size of the pool and GPH/M of the pump for water turnover. Thanks

Jim
