Does a pool heater only work when the pump is on?
You can only set water temperatures. In order to maintain your specified water temperature, your heat pump automatically starts and stops as necessary. Your heat pump is connected to your swimming pool water circulation system, which means your heat pump can only run when your swimming pool pump is running.
When should I turn my pool heat pump on?
This is because the heat pump converts the warmer ambient air and transfers that to your pool. As far as energy efficiency goes, you’d want to run it during the day. Now, if you’re looking to swim in the morning, and you want it at 85 degrees in the morning, you’re probably going to have to run it at night.
Why is my pool heater not turning on?
Solution: If your pool heat pump isn’t receiving the power it needs from the breaker, then it won’t power on at all. But if the heat pump was previously working and no longer turns on, a damaged electrical connection could be the problem.

What should I do if my pool pump won’t turn on?
In extreme cases you will need to purchase a pool pump with a higher horsepower or a variable speed pool pump to increase water pressure to the heater. The pump needs to be pumping sufficient water before the heater will start producing heat. Ensure air temperature is above 50℉.
What to do if your pool heat pump is leaking?
