A more sensible approach would be to install a smaller pump that is just large enough do the job. This would be far more efficient.
If you need the large pump for vacuum cleaning then install a second smaller pump that runs the circulation (0.5-1 HP should do it). Why do you need to run the circulation pump for long periods? Is this for the solar heating? If no solar installed then why not install a timer on the existing pump and run it say 15 mins every hour.

I thought since I have this constant water circulation while the pump is running that I could use a reaction turbine as part of the circulatory loop to generate power to heat the pool water. I am a novice about hydro power but it seems doable. Can anyone help me get started on this project? Thank you.
