The pump on our OWB runs 24/7. We use a sidearm to heat water and it works much better with the pump runing all the time.

On timer during summer months (2 hours/day)

24\7\365.  I even run it in the summer to keep the corrosion down.

May I ask how your house gets hotter just because your pump is running?

You may...the short answer is I had to flip my circulator pump to solve some problems I encountered after I added my second loop.  This solved the problem but pushed water into my family room loop continuously as well....so I added a thermostat in my family room to control my circulator pump and everything has great since.
