Such a small piece of equipment with such a big job! If you have a timing system on your pool that looks like this:
Intermatic Pump/Heater Timer Switch – 125V, SPST, 40 amps
You may or may not have these switch trippers handy. They allow you to set your swimming pool pump on a schedule so you can save energy and not have the system running all the time. Keep in mind that your system should run an average of 10-12 hours a day to allow for sufficient water turnover and sanitization. This becomes especially important if you have a chlorine generator installed on your pool. Chlorine won’t be generating unless the system is running.
If you find yourself wanting to cut down on your pump running just a bit, these will come in handy.
