    The rating of your filter is its maximum flow rate. The actual flow rate of your system is determined by the pump size and the pool's plumbing.

    I run mine 10 hours/day in the summer due to the high water temp here in so. florida. My pool is 90 degrees. It may be overkill but my attitude is better safe than sorry.
    I live in South Florida. I have owned my first pool for 6 years now. 12,200 gal. with exposed aggregate finish, spa with spill over, cartridge filter, pop up bottom cleaning jets, Chlorine by swg. I am eternally grateful for The Pool Forum!!

    15'x30' Rectangle w/ ovals at ends 12.2K gal IG pool; Bleach now as SWCG died.; Hayward 1200 cartridge filter; Emerson 2HP pump; 6hrs; Taylor K-2006 La Motte Borate Test Strips; utility; summer: ; winter: ; iPad; PF:9.8
