How Long to Run Pump?

[CJDahl]

Assuming I turn over my pool in twice in 12 hours should I divide pump operation evenly over 24 hours (e.g. on one hour/off one hour) , or am I better off running during the day in 2 x 6 hour hours during the day and 12 hours off at night ? Is there any advantage to running during the day versus at night (assuming at this point no one is in the pool). (I can turn on/off infinite number of times with home automation).
thanks !!

I run my pump 24/7 - but our electic rate is about $.05 kwh - so I honestly don't notice much of a difference in the bill. Now our winter heating electric bill is another story...

I just really like how the water stays nice and sparkly with the constant filtration.

Mine runs during the day to push water through the solar panels. If I run at night, it cools off the pool. I prefer to add heat and keep what I have so don't run after dark. It does run for 2 hrs in the evening for chemical additions but otherwise the timer is set to get max sun heat.
