How many hours does a pool pump need to run?
20,000 (gallons) / 2400 (gallons per hour) = 8.3 hours So, in this case, you would need to run your pump 8.3 hours per day for one circulation or “turnover” of water, which is right where you want to be in terms of run time.
How is the run time of a pump determined?
The run time and starts per hour depend on the pump flow rate, wet well capacity and the inflow volume. It is important that all three of these factors are integrated into the design of a pump down system to meet the motor manufacturer’s requirement for maximum starts and minimum on and off times.

How often do you run a 15, 000 gallon pool?
We have a pool that holds 15,000 gallons of water. We need to circulate 30,000 gallons of water every 24 hours – but remember, a pump has specifications of Gallons Per Minute (GPM) A 15,000-gallon pool needs about 20 GPM output if we want to run it 24 hours per day. Most people run their pool on an 8-hour on/16-hour off (stagnant) cycle.
