At least four hours every day. Be certain to clean out the filter when it becomes necessary, too.

Another Answer: It is better to run for shorter times, several times a day. Reason one is that this will allow any leaves to be skimmed off before they sink to the bottom. Reason two is that more algae is killed with less chlorine if the water is constantly agitated. I personally run my pump 4 times a day for about 2-4 hours, but in your case it may be more or less depending on the size of your pool and the volume of water being pumped. You can experiment by reducing the times untill the water looses its sparkle then increase the time slightly to keep it sparkling.

How often should you backwash a sand filter on a above ground pool?

Sand filters usually have a pressure gauge in front of them indicating the back pressure before the filter.When the filter needs to be cleaned this pressure gets high. usually it has a red section on the gauge. When it hits the red it is time to think about back washing. If the gauge does not work as so often happens with these things. you can usually judge it from the lack of suction coming from the filter. After backwash you will note the pressure will be down and the suction will be up.
