Hello friends -
First, I would like to thank the forum members for the amazing information on how to balance pool chemicals—so far, so good!
However, how long and at what time of day it would be best to run my pool filter? My kidney bean-shaped pool is approximately 11,000 gallons.
We get a lot of sun in the morning and most of the afternoon. We have a lot of trees, and I have to be ever-vigilant about leaves.
My filter pump can run at two speeds (regular and high).
My electric plan is fixed, so price-wise I don't save anything rate-wise by running at one time of day vs another time.
If you have any perspective on how long to run and the advantages or disadvantages of time - please let me know. Also, if any additional information would be helpful please let me know!

I'm going to place an article for you to review about this very subject. Look it over and let us know if you have any questions. Me personally, my 2-speed pump is on low 24/7/365. Easy stuff.
