Re: How long does the pump really need to run?
I was referring to my situation where I am only turning over 1/2 the pool volume per day or 1/2 turnover per day (~10k gallons). For me, one turnover is 20k gallons pumped. For the OP one turnover is 11.5k gallons pumped.
But water clarity has little to do with pump run time. Clarity is more about chemistry. What makes a pool cloudy is usually algae and not debris. Most debris either floats and can be cleaned by the skimmer or sinks and can be cleaned by a sweep. Pump run time is basically for these two things and for the distribution of chlorine, which takes only about 30 min for a manual dose. So pump run time is more about aesthetics than anything else which is why it can be significantly limited to meet only the cleanliness needs of the pool owner.
