Hi - In Austin, I was watching pool temp all day yesterday and looked good overnight (34 degrees), even at 3am. This morning went to look and pool is half full, pump was on, and a pipe broke at a ball valve. It's 12 degrees now and everything seems frozen at pad, can tell about filter.
Down stream from the VSP pump is a UV light tower, connected with a top (out) and a lower (in) pipe, each with ball valve and there's a connector pipe between those with a connector (usually closed), that allows the UV to be isolated.
The pipe broke right over the ball joint on the 'connector' line.
Is there anything to do at this point besides cutting power? It's 12 degrees now, high in upper twenties today. It may get above freezing Wednesday, or it may be Thursday.
We are in a hilly part of Austin, so the pool is mostly in ground, but has a 3-4 foot wall on the "downside". Two water features in that wall and on in a tanning ledge, which is now exposed to air. The spa is elevated, with a spillway into pool and still has water (not ice) in it.
