You don't need to run your pool pump 24/7. Most pools require 8-12 hours of daily operation to achieve proper turnover and filtration, depending on pool size, bather load, and environmental conditions.
Variable speed pool pumps save money by running at lower, more efficient speeds that dramatically reduce electricity consumption while maintaining proper water circulation and filtration.
You don't need to run your pool filter 24/7, but it should run 8-12 hours daily for most pools. The exact runtime depends on your pool size, bather load, weather conditions, and filtration system efficiency.
