Swimming Pool Turnover
I run my pool pump about 6 hours a day as recommended by the builder. I
think this is excessive from the calculations I have made from several websites which recommend 2 to 3 hours a day for my equipment. The pump is a Whisperflow WF26 @ 1.5 HP and plumbed with 2 inch PVC. The cartridge filter is a Pentair CC150 with 150 square feet of media and runs clean at 8psi. The pool is somewhere around 9500 gallons and is screened in to keep the creatures of Florida out. As far as "feet of head" I can only guess at 40 or so. I have had no problems with the pool but would like to save on the electric bill if at all possible. Can I get away with 3 hours or so?? Thanks in advance for any help.....Ross |
