Answer: 4-6 hours
Explanation: During the winter, a pool pump typically needs to run about 4 to 6 hours a day. This is often sufficient to maintain proper circulation and filtration while preventing algae growth. However, if you're in a region with freezing temperatures, you may need to run the pump continuously to prevent the water from freezing and causing damage. Always consider local weather conditions and consult with a pool professional for specific recommendations.
