Should the heat pump have a by-pass for the water

I have a question on my pool plumbing. Should the heat pump have a by-pass for the water? My concern is that if the heat pump fails [leaks] that I will be unable to run the pump and filter. Is this something I should be concerned with and have it done? Here is a pic of my current set-up.

Most heaters do not have a bypass. That said, they are useful and recommended if you are in the plumbing phase. Certainly you could add one now if you're up for the task.
