Best Answer

most people run them somewhere between 6 and 8 hours salt water pools have to be run long enough to keep up the production of chlorine for the water. However it also depends on how much dirt gets into the water and the temperature. In low temperatures you can cut back on running the filtration as long. You are the best judge in the long run as you can see if the water is staying clean enough in your pool.

Can you run your pool filter at night to eliminate high costs approximately 3 hours a night?

You can run the filter anytime of day you wish, however the pool has its biggest demand during the daylight hours so it is preferable to run the pool during the day and turn it off at night when there is less demand. If the water gets hot enough 90 degrees or above you should run it 24 hours a day until it cools down!
