Mine works directly off the pool pump. It runs for 6 to 8 hours a day as long as the pool pump runs. I have 2 valves that divert the water. Goes up to the roof in 1 1/2 pipe that tee's off w/ 1/2" nipples,(It is due for a makeover and I will use 2" pipe) then 5 rows of 4 panels for a total of 2000 feet of tubing, then back down. It works very good. Adds 2 months to the season. (Once the water gets below 80 I seldom go in.) In the summer it is shut off or the pool would be 95 to 100 degrees. (I'm in Florida) Once I left it on for a week in the summertime and the pool was up to 100 degrees, like a big ol hot tub. I had to turn it off cause the wife didn't like it.
