When our 12 X 24 pool was built by T&D about 7 years ago they set the pool pump to run from 9-5 and it has been that way ever since. One thing to consider, assuming you have a salt water pool, is that the salt cell (chlorinator) only runs when the pump is running. All other things being equal, the shorter/longer you run the pump, the chlorinator has to be corresponding set higher/lower to yield the same chlorine output. Typically, the pump is set to run during daylight hours to produce chlorine when the sun is out because the sun eats up chlorine.
