When to run the filter.

[cleancloths]

I have a 20x40 IG Vinyl pool in Northern NJ and make use of off-peak power exclusively. I almost NEVER run the pump during the day. I have had the pool 8 years and have NEVER had any algae problems. I run the pump for about 6 hour at night. The key is just to maintain the chemical balance in the water.

Thanks for the information people. I'm going to continue running the filter during off-peak hours.

I run mine here in Central NJ from 7PM to around 4-5AM. Never any issues and the water is crystal clear.

I have a 27ft AG and run the filter during the day from 8-11am and 2-7pm on a timer. The only reason I run during the day is b/c the pool gets full sun and by circulating the water I noticed that the water temp rises significantly.
