I am considering buying a pool heater, most likely a heat pump. It would need to be located about 20' from my existing pump/filter setup. So I would need to extend the water line to it and back. (40' total run). Do you think that will cause a problem with the pump and system to add that much run?
I also could install a few valves that would allow me to bypass the heater during the months it would not be used. Is that a bad idea to have the heater without water flow for several months?
