    Even on the worst plumbing, the WF-24 should provide at least 60 GPM so each turnover will take at most 4.5 hours. Most pools will need somewhere between 1-2 turnovers per day depending on how often they are used and how dirty they get. You could start at 8 hrs per day and gradually reduce that and see how things go.

    Welcome to the forum, and to pool ownership!! mas985 has already answered your question, I just wanted to add the comment that when figuring run time, you need to turn over your water volume at least once daily, AND you need to maintain at least 3 ppm chlorine to keep it clear.
