Circulating Your Above Ground Pool Water

The heart of the circulation system is the above ground pool pump. It moves water from the pool through the filter for removal of any dust, dirt, and debris before sending it back to the pool.

The first question that most pool owners ask is, "How long should I run my pump?". For an average above ground pool, your pump should be running on average 8 hours per day. 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours at night. If your pool is much bigger than the above ground pools that we have available on our site you should consider running the pool pump for a longer amount of time. For accurate and maintenance-free circulation you should consider running your pool pump with a pool timer.
