Is it safe to swim with pool pump on?

The size of the pool tells you how much water a pump has to turn over. The larger the pool, the greater the amount of water, which means it will take the pump more time to get through a filter cycle. A swimming pool specialist can easily help you calculate exactly how much time your specific pool pump will take to complete a full cycle.
