What Is the Cheapest Time of Day to Run a Pool Pump?

Properly programming your pump with a certified technician is key to saving money on energy costs.

The right time to run a pool pump varies based on the pump type and local energy rates. Single-speed pumps usually need to run for at least 8 hours a day. On the other hand, variable-speed pumps might need about 12 hours. Using energy-efficient pool pumps can greatly cut down on power use and costs.

To find the cheapest time to run your pool pump, look at your local utility’s peak and off-peak hours. Many people find running their pumps at night is the most cost-effective. This way, you save on energy without sacrificingwater quality.
