Left AGP pool open for the winter for the 1st time.
Running pump at night on timer.
Been running pump 24/7 the last 2 weeks.
I now have a 24’ hockey rink.
Last 2 weeks temps have been WAY WAY below average, let me put it this way, I have ridden motorcycles in Jan in the past.
Tuesday morning had about 1/8” – 3/16” island of ice covering about 50% of the surface, water temp was right at 35.
Checked it last night, top frozen, pump still running, some ice in skimmer, but water still flowing.
During the night it froze enough to completely freeze the skimmer, and pump sounds like it is sucking air, don’t see any damage, and I can see all the flex hoses, pump seems ok, turned it off.
Keeping fingers crossed?
