This time of year (lower humidity), once or twice per week with a garden hose for about 10 minutes. During summer (higher humidity), hardly ever. The pool water evaporation seems to increase when the ambient humidity decreases.

I have not noticed any difference when using the electric heater - other than I'm using the heater more now, and the humidity is lower, so evaporation seems to increase.
