Warrren,
Not sure of the time ruling. However, if you're referring to a neighbor's pool, you may wish to inform them that running a pool pump at night is unnecessary. Among other things, a pool pump helps control or eliminate algae in the pool. Since algae needs the Sun to grow and there is no Sun at night, what's the point of running the pump. Of course, on occasion, a homeowner will run the pump overnight due to a major chemical treatment. Other than that, they're just wasting their money and putting unnecessary strain on the pump and neighbors, too.
