Does the pool pump have to be on when the pool heater is running?
Yes, the pool pump typically needs to be running when the pool heater is operating. This ensures proper water circulation, allowing the heater to efficiently warm the water and preventing overheating or damage to the heater. Additionally, running the pump helps distribute the heated water evenly throughout the pool. Always check the specific manufacturer's guidelines for your equipment for optimal operation.

How can I effectively use a water pump for draining my pool?
To effectively use a water pump for draining your pool, first, ensure the pump is placed at the lowest point of the pool. Connect a hose to the pump and direct it to a suitable drainage area. Turn on the pump and let it run until the pool is drained to the desired level. Monitor the process to prevent the pump from running dry.

Is it possible for a hydrostatic valve to leak pool water only when the pump is not running?
YES THERE IS A LOT OF TRASH THAT CAN GET IN THE VALVE TO MAKE IT LEAK. YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO CLEAN IT FURTHER I found that with the pump running, the pool water was rising as apparently the pump was pulling water out of the ground. This was with the pool water low and the skimmer plugged off in order to try to filter after a bad storm. When I shut off the pump, the pool water went down as the valve did not seat properly.
