  1. How Long Should You Run Your Pool Pump in Autumn? As the days shorten and temperatures drop, it's tempting to switch off your pool pump altogether. But autumn still calls for regular care to keep your water clear, clean, and safe. ● Recommended run time : Run your pool pump 4–6 hours a day to maintain water quality and prevent algae growth. ● Adjust for conditions : Larger pools or those under leafy trees may need longer pump times. ● If using a heat pump : Add an extra 1–2 hours of pump time to ensure efficient heating. ● Protect your pump : Use a cover to guard against autumn rain, frost, noise, and debris. Why It Matters Even when swimming is off the cards, your pool needs consistent attention. Leaves and debris can clog filters and encourage algae growth. Running your pump daily, even for just a few hours, helps maintain healthy water and extends your equipment's lifespan. At a Glance Autumn Pump Schedule Daily Pump Run : 4–6 hours — Enough to keep water clean during cooler, low-use months. Extra if Heating : +1–2 hours — Required if using a heat pump for longer swims. Maintenance Tip : Clean skimmers and filters regularly to reduce pump workload.
