Circulation pump run time ?

[TdiDave]

I have a Jacuzzi 480 and was wondering what the consensus is on the run time of the circulation pump?  I think the default is 12 hours but does anyone have a opinion of more or less run time?

I was told if outside to run 24hr.

[Jacuzzi Jim]

 Go 24 hours with it!

Twelve hours, twice a day.

Just had my hot tub installed and they set up the circ pump for 24 hours and 10 minutes

Any idea on the flow rates for the circulation pump?

Twelve hours, twice a day.


 

I prefer 8 hours, three times a day.

From what I read, it pumps 35 gal per min. So it will pump or thus filter a 415 gal tub in about 12 min. So the water will be filtered 5 times a hr., and 120 times a day.

Seems like a lot but a typical 190 GPM jet pump filtering for 4 hours will do the same thing.

So far I am finding the 12 hours works fine.  I suppose it might depend on how much you use your tub if its enough.   In the 4 months I've owned mine, i haven't found a reason to change it yet.
