Does a salt water pool need to run all the time?

Does a salt water pool need to run all the time? Overall, you need to run your saltwater generator and pool pump for at least 8 hours daily. Not running either of these long enough means not enough chlorine to sanitize the water. What is this? Remember, the pool pump needs to be running simultaneously with the chlorine generator for the salt cell to produce chlorine.

Can you run pool pump without basket?

Can you run pool pump without basket? Yes. Without the strainer basket, debris will clog the impeller in the pump volute causing the pump to cease moving water. Be sure to clean your strainer basket, as well as the skimmer baskets, so water flow is not obstructed and the pump is not overworked.
