Manage the time your pool filter runs to save money.
You need to run your pool filter to gain a hygienic pool and to maintain this, as required.
The real question is, what the correct amount of running time is, so the pool water is filtered and clean, say after a day’s heavy usage or after no usage for a few days.
It’s a fine balance and to do so, without wasting electricity.
With some observations, you will see the time needed to run after different usage profiles.
Ideally, you want to pinpoint the minimum time to run the pump to get the job done. After a day’s heavy usage, it may be necessary to run it longer, with a manual override.
Check with your electricity supplier to see if you can benefit from a lower overnight rate.
And consider a smart (variable) speed pump also, which gives added flexibility and can save you a lot of money on yearly basis. You may even receive an energy rebate.save you
