Protecting Your Pool Equipment during a Freeze
Run your pool equipment continuously during the freeze. You’ll need to change your timers to run the pool equipment at night and continue to run the equipment if freezing temperatures continue into the day. If you have Freeze Protect, your equipment should turn on automatically and will cycle on and off throughout the day.
If we do NOT lose power:
- Run ALL pumps continuously. Filter, feature, cleaner, etc.
If we do lose power and the pool is not on generator power:
- Take the lids off ALL pumps and chlorinators.
- Remove the drain plugs from ALL pumps, filters, and heaters.
- Ensure all 2-way and 3-way valves are in the open position
DO NOT WRAP YOUR PIPES: The pool pump will get hot and create a fire hazard.
Don’t forget to have your pool water tested during the winter, so you can enjoy it immediately in the spring.
