The repair guy came out and fixed my swimming pool heater. He told me to keep it running for the next couple of days while it breaks in. The problem is that my pool filter system is old and is a piece of crap and I have to keep restarting it. So can anybody tell me if I can turn off the pump and just let the heater run?
