How Long to Run Pump?

[csevel]

It's a 3/4-hp Jacuzzi 2-speed pump with a CFR-50 Cartridge Filter. Am I oversized for my 18' pool?

Did you buy it as a package? If so, don't worry it should be fine. Otherwise, based on the pump size (not familiar with filter) I don't think you are under-sized and should be fine with an 8 hr run time.

is there a specific or special type of timer to get? Is it the same thing as the typical outdoor timers say.............for christmas lighting?

Tracy,
I am not sure about above-ground timers, perhaps post a new thread asking that question specifically... I know someone knows the answer.

I'm using an Intermatic model T-101 timer. Absolutely love it. No more remembering to turn the pool on,off,which did i do last and when.
The do come in different clock voltages so just get the right one for your application.
15 x 30 x 48 UG. I run about 4 hours in late morning and 6 hours through the late afternoon into the evening.

Is this timer T-101 on an above ground pool?

Traceyb,

I use this model from intermatic, which is suited for above ground pools. I have had mine for a couple of months and am very satisfied with it. Mine is set to come on from 7:30a-3:00 pm, and then from 7:30p-11:30p daily. Also got mine from electricsuppliesonline.
