Setting a timer on your pool pump is a great way to save energy and money. By running your pump only when necessary, you can reduce your energy consumption by up to 50%. Additionally, setting a timer can help to extend the life of your pool pump by reducing the amount of wear and tear.
There are a few things to consider when setting a timer on your pool pump. First, you need to determine how many hours per day your pool needs to be filtered. This will vary depending on the size of your pool, the amount of debris in the pool, and the temperature of the water. Generally, pools need to be filtered for 8-12 hours per day.
