Being our pool is new, the pump is running 24 hours a day and will continue until the chemical shock and acid put in the pool does it's job. That should be about a week or a little more.
Our pool pump is right next to the wall outside our master bedroom, and although we can slightly hear it, we don't even realize its running if were not thinking about it. I feel it's definitely quieter than the air conditioner unit but that's not to say that Warren's neighbor's pump is the same way.
From everything I've been reading on several sites found by a Google search about running the pump, it's shouldn't need to run more than 12 hours a day. It pretty much ranges from a minimum of 4 to 6 hours and depends on the time of year (winter being less time than summer) and running it at night does little if any good. The best time to be running the pump is when it's exposed to the sun. Generally it takes about 4 hours for the pool water to completely recycle, depending on other factors of course.
Sounds to me like Warren's neighbor may just be wasting energy and his own money by letting it run after the sun goes down!
