pump running 24/7 or what?

[anixon7]

You might want to do a couple of runs each day, each 4 or 5 hours at a time.

I just got my first electric bill after a full month of running the pump 24/7. Yikes! Now that my water's clear I'd love to cut back on that.

How can you work in a schedule like this around a normal workday? I'm gone for 10-12 hours a day during the week.

Also, seems like daytime would be more crucial than nite to keep the water circulating, would that be true? Is one more important than the other?
