How long do I need to run the pool pump every day? That’s a good question. And don’t laugh. The problem has confused some people, including those who have owned a pool for years, and those who have just started looking after a pool. Because if you want to keep the water clean, you have to know the answer.

The best answer, of course, is to run the pool’s filtration system 24 hours a day. Some people will ask, this may cost quite a lot of money. That’s true, but that’s the best answer.

You can invest in Aquark stepless DC inverter pool heat pump. This will allow you to run your filtering system efficiently and inexpensively 24 hours a day.

You need to know this: what is the turnover rate?

The idea is to flow all the water in the pool pass through the filtration system at least once a day. This is called the turnover rate of your pool. But in practice, it’s hard to get accurate statistics. Because there are many factors that affect the turnover rate, we won’t explain them here this time. If your pool is built by a formal engineering company, it should flow over all of the water more than 2 times a day.

If your pool water turnover rate meets these requirements, you can safely run your pump for about 12 hours a day. Of course, the longer the better.

Is the cost high?

If you’re worried about paying too much for electricity, try calling your energy company. Usually, the best time to run your filtering system is between 9:00pm and 9:00am, which will save you money.

You can also do it separately. For example, you can run six hours during the day and six hours at night. That’s perfectly fine. However, you need to get a controlled timer to help you do the job. Unless you are determined to do this manually every day.

You can invest in inverter pool heat pump

As we mentioned earlier, if you have a Aquark stepless DC inverter pool heat pump, you can run your system 24 hours a day without costing as much as a normal pump. We strongly recommend that you consider purchasing full inverter pool heat pumps. They are the best way to keep your swimming pool clean while saving you money.

So finally, how long does it actually take to run the pool pump?

Run at least 12 hours a day. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do it. However, you must pay attention to the changes of water quality in your pool and take corresponding measures.
