Pump Run-times?

[ChristopherS64]

I run 5 - 10 am and 5 -10 PM. I have 18,000 gal pool with 1 hp pump. This seems to work fine for me.

I run my pump 6:00 AM to 10:00AM and then again from 1:00 PM to 6:00PM and I have a 24,000 gallon pool. I like to run the pump during the hotest times of the day so that the heat from the solor blanket distributes throughout the pool. If I run it overnight and the outside temperature goes down to 65 or so, the pool water cools down also.

Hmmm,
thanks guys for your info.
I have a heat-pump & I live where it's chilly sometimes in summer( NS Canada).

perhaps I have to run it 24/7 just to keep my temp up
( I keep the pool at 90F)
