Why should I run my filtration pump for 24 hours?
Do you tackle 24-hour circulation in a smart way? If so, it has numerous advantages:
- Better filter performance
- Lower noise level of the pump
- Saving electricity and chlorine
- Improving the flocculation process
- Better heat transfer from the slats (pool cover) to the water
How exactly do you do that? As a starting point, run your filter pump at low speed for three-quarters of the day. Only during the afternoon hours, when swimming usually takes place, run your pump one setting faster. And when backwashing or any other situations, such as heating, you can run your pump at full power (=highest speed). This process can be easily automated via a dosing system (e.g. Da-gen, Oxilife, Aquarite+, etc.).
