To ensure your pool pump has adequate freeze protection during winter, you can install a freeze protection device that automatically activates when temperatures drop below a certain level. Additionally, you can insulate exposed pipes and equipment, run the pump during freezing temperatures, and consider using a pool cover to retain heat. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the pump's performance during winter months are also important to prevent freezing.
The amount of time the pump should run for any pool will depend on a few things. Hotter seaons will require your pump to run about 8 hours. Running your pump in hotter seaons also require that the pump runs during the hottest part of the day. You may cut the hours to about 6, or as low as 4 during winter. Please keep in mind "bather load" or heating the pool in the winter can effect the hours your pump should run. During winter pump should be ran at night to avoid freezing of pipes

Use your winter pool cover pump and mount it to the top step. I only use this when I am leaving town and expecting rain.
An electric heat pump can heat up your home during winter and cool it during summer.
You can leave pump out all winter PROVIDED it is completely void of all water and will not be exposed to freezing. It is advisable, as the pump is an expensive component, to disconnect pump and bring into garage. We have left out pump out many times and taken it in many times. We live in a climate that reaches below freezing maybe 30 - 45 days during winter.
Draining the water from the "pump" (I'm assuming you mean the filter) should only take a few minutes. How long it would take to drain the water in the pool down to the winterization level would depend on the size of your pool and the pump you are using.
Less time for running a pool pump for a 30000 gallon should run one hour for every ten degrees. IE. 50 degrees F is equal to 5 hrs per day.
Using an ice guard sump pump during winter helps prevent freezing and blockages in the pump, ensuring it continues to function properly. This can prevent basement flooding and water damage during cold weather.
