We run our pump on the timer from 11am to 7:30 pm which is when there is sun on the panels, unless there is a heavy swimmer load later or I am cleaning the pool later than that. If we need to cool it off in late summer, we will run it at night.

Re: What's everyone's 2 cents here on pump time?
The electric plan I am on gives me a discount on electricity between 9pm - 9am so I only run my pump at night. During the winter it runs about 4 hours a night. As the temps increase and I need more chlorine generated I slowly increase the run time to 8-10 hours as needed.
The pool will stay clean with as little as 4 hours a night but I'd have to turn my cell up too much to generate enough chlorine.
