Hi all,
I live in the northeast and moved into a home with a salt water pool two years ago. This year, i upgraded the control system to a hayward Omnilogic. It's much easier to use than the previous system. Part of the installation required an electrician, and he wired it so that my outdoor lights around the pool and electricity to my cabana runs through the Omnilogic controller. It's convenient during the summer, but now that the pool is closed and the system is off, i don't have power to the lights around the pool or to the cabana which has outlets. We use the cabana in the winter because we have a fire pit next to it. So it seems i would have to have the main omnilogic controller on all year to be able to use the electricity in my cabana. I turned it back on, and turned off all the relevant pool control functions, along with their associated breakers. But...can i leave this omnilogic controller on all winter? It has a touch screen, i'm worried it could possibly freeze. I don't know if these are valid concerns. Maybe people in the northeast use these all winter to control hot tubs?
Sorry if this is massively stupid question -- just want to check before i do something dumb
