lol. I just returned a WiFi timer that I had bought for my pool for this very reason. Guess I’ll head back to the store haha.

Thank you so much for this video! Can you please talk more about your pool schedule? I’m a first time above ground pool owner and I don’t have a schedule for my pump. I’m out here completely winging it 😂 it would be great to know your schedule because I’d like to do something similar, even without the modifications mentioned in the video.

Thanks! For my schedule, I like to run for 12 hrs per day. I've played with it a bit, and seems to work best for me to run the pump primarily during the day. So from 8am to 8pm works pretty well. If you're using a timer like this one, then you can get fancier, like 2 hrs on, 1 hr off, etc.. the benefit of this is to keep the water stirred up more often to discourage algae growth. It is good to recirculate 90% of your water per day, which corresponds roughly to 2.5 turnovers per day. To calculate your turnover rate more accurately, there is a calculator here: poolsforfools.com/pool-volume-calculator-and-pump-size/ I hope this helps!

@@PracticalMechanic Omg!! Thank you SO MUCH for explaining 😍 I can finally wrap my head around this. I was wondering why I had problem with algae. Sounds like I need to turn my pump on more often. Makes total sense because I was only running for a couple hours a day. Ahhhhhh. Got it!!! Thank you again 😊
