No. Most pools can survive 8-10hrs/day summer and less as needed in winter. Depends mostly on use, and how chlorine gets to the pool. Inline chlorinators require the pump to run, floaters do not.

On a 36x16 in ground ground pool how often should you run the pump in the filter position?
If you have 36 ft. x 16 ft. pool I would run the filter and pump 24 hr a day and backwash when ever you have a 7-10 psi raise on filter pressure gauge. All commercial pools run 24 hr per day. If you want sparkling clear pool I recommend that you do the same. john www.unblockabledraincovers.com

To take care of an easy set Intex pool that is 8 feet by 30 inches, you should run the filter each day. Clean the filter periodically. Check chemical levels each day.

How soon should the filter be running after a new pool is plastered?
Our contractor told us that as soon as the last plaster guy stepped out of the pool, water should start to be filled. We then ran our pump the next day after it was completely full, and our contractor put the chemicals in. There did not seem to be a rush to start the filter; only a rush to get water in it soon after the plaster was installed.
