You’ll need to know your heater and pump watts to answer your question.

I don’t have one but the rating is 240 watts X hours. That’s a theorical max meaning a 240 watt heater can run for 1 hour.

What you can do is add up your heater watts and pump watts. Then divide 240 by your total. That’s how many hours it will run. Also remember heaters do not run continuously, the cycle on and off, so it will last a little longer than what you calculated.
