Pool.
Just had a swimming pool built at Hacienda Joncon and have been advised to run the pump for ten hours a day.
Seems a bit excessive to me.
Does anyone have experience of these things ?

It doesn't matter who you vote for the bloody politicians always get in.

Re: Pool.
JC, I believe the average is around 8 hours per day but it depends on the pool size and pump flow rate. You should run it long enough per day to cycle the amount of water in the pool at least once. You can run it less in the down season when it’s not getting so much use and the weather is cooler but more during the hotter months.

And thank you very much too, Selly
There's still a little sanity left on the forum.

Re: Pool.
You may well be right Fred but it's not Olympic size only 4m X 4m and I heard that installers always use pumps that are overpowered - but what do I know ?

Re: Pool.
you don't say whether it is a chlorine pool or a saltwater pool which produces chlorine. the main reason for running a pool pump if you have a saltwater pool is to produce the necessary chlorine required to keep the pool sanitised as chlorine is leeched from your pool in the sun. If you have a chlorinated pool then such hours are unnecessary
Re: Pool.
Many thanks N&K it is a saltwater pool.
I'm now running the pump for 6 hours a day and all seems fine.
