During the winter months I advise customers to cover their pools.
The reason is twofold: deters debris (leaves) and sunlight.
Sunlight is what makes the cholrine go away. Assuming you are using cholrine, and a self cholrinator: I would run the pump just enough to maintain the chlorine level at 1.5-2PPM. There are too many variables, what type cholrine you are using, how many gallons the pool contains, pool construction, ETC.
Most pool stores that sell chemicals will analyze your water for free then sell you the chemicals. Fill up a mason jar before going to the store If you go to a store and they don't offer this service (advice) go to a store that will.
I maintained pools only using cholrine and PH test kits. There are kits with far more reagants for different tests, but I never found them really necessary.
On a 14,000 gallon I would generally run the pump 2 hours/day. Check the pump strainer and in take basket 2 times/week.

If you mean the heat pump, you must run it for about 7 days to bring it up to a temp of about 80-85 degrees depending on the pool.. If you are referring to the filter, run it about 6 hrs per day.. watch your pH and chlorine levels and make sure to sweep the sides regularly.. Algae grow easier in warmer water, but they can still appear in cold water.
