It's *possible* (but perhaps not likely on a vinyl pool) that the
entire fixture comes out, and that there's enough slack to pull
it up out of the water for maintenance. That's how they were
on the pool I grew up with - but it was concrete.
No need to run the pump continuously. Run it enough to keep the
skimmer doing its job.
A heater? In Florida? Pshaw. :-) We didn't have a heater in our
pool in Cincinnati ... we might have continued to swim for
another month if we did, but eventually the autumn leaf drop
got to be too much to keep after anyway (we were out of the
pool long before then).
It all depends on what you're used to, really. A good "solar cover"
can keep the water warm overnight - that's the biggest issue
for most of the year.
I can't speak to your chlorine question - that's what we used.
As Randall says, keeping the pH in range is the most important.
