Assuming you live in an area where pools are winterized and shut down for winter, I would run filter for 45min - 1 hour per day. Be carefulk not to over sanitize the pool because chlorine (etc) demand is very low while water is so cold.
If you expect to experience freezing weather then do not turn your pump off. LEAVE YOUR PUMP ON. Moving water can not freeze. As water freezes there is expansion. This freezing/expansion can destroy your pump, filter and pipes.

Ice isn't meant to be in a pool pump. this can damage/ruin it. that is why you hear a grinding noise. cheers <3 -Eli
Yes, running the pool pump can help prevent freezing by circulating water and preventing it from becoming stagnant, which can lead to freezing in cold temperatures.
You should never run a swimming-pool pump dry! The most likely problem, from the rather flimsy evidence in your question hinting at it not rotating, is not with the pump or its motor but a fault in the electrical supply to the pool plant, or in the timer or other pump controller.
The purpose of a swimming pool heat pump is to rise the temperature of the water. The pool then can be used for swimming even on days when the weather is not perfect. The swimming pool season is extended.
When choosing a pool pump for your swimming pool, consider the size of your pool and the flow rate needed for proper circulation. It is recommended to select a pump that can circulate the entire volume of your pool in 6-8 hours. Consult with a pool professional to determine the appropriate size pump for your specific pool size and needs.
To determine the size of the pool pump you need for your swimming pool, you should consider the volume of your pool in gallons and the flow rate required for proper circulation.

It is a great pump. It isn't only quiet but it also produces the highest water flow offered by any pump.

Because the pump is set to "vacuum to waste".
I guess you are asking about daily air temperature. Once the surface has melted, the only concern is the above ground pipes freezing. If you leave the pump running all the time, the chance of freezing is very low.
