Best time to run the pumps?

I finally realized that THE most effective way to heat my pool is to circulate the water when the sun is shining on it. That's also when the wind blows. The pool stays clean all night, but during the afternoon, stuff is constantly blowing into the pool and it's better to collect it immediately than let it sit around and start decomposing. So unless the grid is struggling to provide enough power during peak hours, I circulate mid-day.

I run mine 24/7 and my light bill is more in the summer than the winter. My pool guy said it is best to run it all the time. Of course, he told me Baquacil was best for me if I wanted to work on my pool less and enjoy it more... If you have to turn your water over 2x a day, how do you determine how many hours it takes to turn it over? I will save a lot of $$$ this year by using bleach over Baquacil, and I would love to save on my light bill.
