That depends on a lot of factors, water chemistry, proper installation, and manufacturer to name a few. water chemistry however, is the leading cause to pump failure. corrosive water, water with a pH reading below 7, can deteriorate the pump seal, usually resulting in bearing failure, if the seal leak goes unnoticed for a long period of time.

How long do you need to run your pool pump. There is a self chlorinator in the system. Salt water pool. Located in the Treasure Coast of Fl?

The amount of time the pump should run for any pool will depend on a few things. Hotter seaons will require your pump to run about 8 hours. Running your pump in hotter seaons also require that the pump runs during the hottest part of the day. You may cut the hours to about 6, or as low as 4 during winter. Please keep in mind "bather load" or heating the pool in the winter can effect the hours your pump should run. During winter pump should be ran at night to avoid freezing of pipes
