Best time to run the pumps?

[waterbear]

I'm mildly surprised no one has suggested running more than once a day. If you feel your system needs to run 6 hours each day, why not split that into three 2-hour sessions.

That's what has always made sense to me.

I always have two sets of on/off stops on my timer. I run the pool during the day, because I want my solar panels to work--I run the pump low speed.

And I run it again at night, so if I've added post-sunlight chlorine it will be circulated.
