Yes, you should cover your pool heater in winter if it's not being used, especially for heat pumps and electric heaters. Gas heaters typically need less protection but benefit from covers in harsh climates.
Pool heaters work by transferring heat to pool water through different methods: gas heaters burn fuel to heat water directly, electric heaters use resistance coils, and heat pumps extract heat from ambient air to warm pool water efficiently.

Yes, salt water pools can absolutely be heated using gas heaters, electric heaters, heat pumps, or solar systems. The salt water generator doesn't interfere with heating systems, but you may need corrosion-resistant components.
