Mom from What's Eating Gilbert Grape Has Lost 250 Pounds. Darlene Cates, who played the morbidly obese, bedridden mother of Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio in 1993's What's Eating Gilbert Grape, has lost nearly 250 pounds, and is hoping to start acting again, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Thanks for the question MJIn general, you want to run the pool pump 8 - 10 hours per day in the Summer and 4 - 8 hours in the Winter. When I had my pool route in Arizona it was recommended that pump be on for 12 hours per day during the Summer.
That's not a bad idea, but it's not the best. In an ideal world if cost wasn't an issue, running your pool pump 24 hours a day, 7 seven days each week from pool opening to closing, is the best way to care for your pool. Those folks who follow this routine have few if any water quality problems; instead they have a HUGE electric bill.
