We are into day 3 of a terrible freeze. I drained and covered the equipment so I hope that I'm good there. We have been without power for mostly 3 days now. We get an hour every 12 hours or so. We were going to just run the pumps 24-7, but after almost 24 hours of no power, we realized the mistake. I've been waiting for power to make this post. Do I need to try to break up the ice on top. It's about 2-3 inches thick in most places. Our temp is not supposed to get above freezing for 4 more days.... Yes, we're in TEXAS! We don't know what to do. Please advise.
