Pool pump timers

[PoolDoc]

I've posted a lengthy dissection of the video, below. If you would please read it, and then go to the video and give it a 'thumbs down' for misleading people!

But, let me answer your implicit "what should I do" question more briefly.

1. Do NOT switch to 3 hour operation, yet, and probably, not at all.
2. Go here: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/profile...=editsignature
and edit your signature to contain all your pool info. (Examples below)
3. Look up your salt system MAKE and exact model -- then we'll be able to tell you about minimum on hours.
4. Tell us what, if any, chemicals and treatment you are using in your pool besides the SWCG.

Once we have that info, it will be possible to make some more intelligent pump run-time recommendations.


========================================
Pool signature example:

Let's say you have a 12,000 gallon concrete kidney pool with a StaRite System 3 cartridge filter, a Hayward Super II 1.5 HP pump, an Pentair Intellichlor SWCG, a Hayward pool heater, and a Nature II unit. Put this in your signature:

"12K concrete kidney; StaRite S7M120; Hayward 1.5HP Super II pump; Intellichlor IC20; Hayward H250DFN, and a Nature II unit"

Doing this will make it MUCH easier for us to give consistently good answers.
