Your pool pump's GPM (gallons per minute) should be set so that it can circulate all the water in your pool within 8 hours, which is typically recommended for proper filtration. To calculate this, divide your pool's total gallons by 480 (minutes in 8 hours) to get the ideal GPM. Always consult your pool equipment manual or a pool professional to ensure your pump setting matches your pool's specific needs.
