I live in Florida and installed a safety cover to keep the debris out of the pool for the winter.  How much time (if any) should I regularly run my pool pump while the safety cover is on?  (I have a variable speed pump so I could run it everyday at a low RPM)

 

Thanks!

Hello Jarkell - It definitely doesn't hurt to run the pump on low a few hours a day. It won't need to run as much as it does during the summer when the pool is not covered. 

The cover on the pool will certainly help prevent potential algae blooms and the pump running occasionaly will only help.
