Start with your pool requirements
A timer setting should be based on the circulation plan for your pool. Pool size, operating flow, use and connected equipment all matter. A schedule copied from a neighbour may not suit your installation.
Ask your installer to provide the intended daily schedule and explain how it supports filtration and any equipment that needs water flow.
Distinguish flow from time
Water volume divided by operating flow gives a theoretical circulation time when both figures use compatible units. That calculation is only one part of an operating plan. It does not mean that every part of the pool has received identical treatment.
For example, 48 cubic metres divided by 12 cubic metres per hour gives four hours as a theoretical volume calculation. It is not a universal recommendation to run all pools for four hours.
Review the schedule when conditions change
Tell your service provider if use, connected equipment or seasonal conditions change. Keep a record of the settings and water care routine so adjustments can be assessed.
If you are moving to a pump with adjustable speed, ask for both the time and speed settings. Running hours alone cannot describe that operating plan.
Ask for an installation specific answer
Send the pump and filter models, pool volume and intended use when requesting guidance. COREX can receive equipment enquiries, while your installer should confirm the final circulation schedule for the complete pool.
