no you would have to do something about it
no
No, not from the pump. The pump (what moves the water) and the filter (usually ~24 inch diameter tank filled with sand) will be located away from the pool. The electrical connection is at the pump, but there is no electricity from the pump near the pool; the lines for the circulation system only carry water. If the pool and equipment are not grounded and bonded there may be a possibility of shock or tingly sensation. There is much more of a danger if the above applies and you stand in damp ground and touch the pump motor.
In general terms, a swimming pool needs to have disinfectant (usually chlorine or bromine) present in the water and a pH between 7.0 and 8.0 to be safe for swimmers. If no disinfectant is present, organisms may grow that are dangerous to people or harmful to the pool. Even if a pool is not in use, if there is water in the pool, a residual amount of disinfectant, proper pH, circulation of water through the filter and regular cleaning is necessary to maintain the pool to prevent damage to the pool finish and mechanical equipment. If the water sits without circulation or is not treated properly, algae may form and metal parts in the pool pump or heater may be damaged.
Weekly maintenance is the backbone of a healthy swimming pool. Without regular maintenance, especially properly balancing the water and ensuring proper filtration and circulation, your swimming pool may not be safe from harmful disease and bacteria.
1 to 2 hrs. New answer: By pool powder - do you mean dry chlorine? Minimum time may be about 20 minutes with a good circulation system. That too, depends on the quantity of the "pool powder".

The most important items you will need are the pool chemicals for maintain the water quality. You will also need a pool vacuum, pump and filters.
If the pool is properly grounded and bonded, with ground fault interupt circuit, it is safe. I would not run if a thunder storm is approaching. Of course, they should not be in the pool during a thunderstorm at any rate.
A fuel pump is usually not halfway it is either good or bad. It can have things that may not work associated with it, like a relay or fuse. But the pump itself is either on or off. It is safe to drive until it stops working. Then it will need a mechanic/shop to fix it.
Some of this depends on what filter you have a depth. You're pretty safe around the 3/4 or 1hp range.
Yes it is safe, in fact I would recommend it; I manage a pool and spa store in Richmond, Va and own a pool myself. We never turn the pump off in season except for routine maintenance. Keeping the pump on helps keep the pool properly sanitized, and prevents the growth of algae and water molds. It is to my knowledge, not harmful to the pump, as most of our customers do the same, and we don't have many failures. Manufacturers build the pumps for this kind of use, they are warn out faster by starting and stopping than by continuous operation.
