Should I switch off my pool pump?


Often to save money, you might be tempted to switch your pool off. Although turning the system (pump/salt cell/etc) off wil save on electricity, the cost of doing this may be much more expensive in the long run. The pool requires the water to be filtered and moving so the salt cell can sanitise the water or if using other chemicals. Leaving the whole system off for too long, risks cloudiness, scaling and even an algae problem. As a rule, run your pool for 12 hours a day in summer and 6 hours a day in winter.
