Freeze mode information

[thomasandanita]

I live north of Houston. Usually about 5 degrees cooler at night here than Houston. A couple weeks ago we had a cold spell. Never got to freezing temperatures. Maybe 38 in the morning. I could hear my pump running on hi speed early in the morning. The display read freeze mode active. I have a Hayward max flo vs 500. I have read the manual and I do not see any information about freeze mode. My desire would be to lower the rpm during freeze mode. Is that possible? Set a timer or mode and manually set it for near freezing temperatures?
This is my first pool and first winter approaching. I appreciate any thoughts on what to do.
Thanks

Hayward calls it LOW TEMP OPERATION. Manual is here —> https://hayward-pool-assets.com/ass.../manuals/maxflo-vs-S23115VSP.pdf?fromCDN=true

See bottom of page 21 for CONFIG MENU settings.

See note at bottom of page that it is intended to protect the drive and not the pool from freezing.

Pentair is the same. It gets the temp from Accuweather, then I guess to be safe starts the pump at 38 degrees, then doesn't shut off until 43. I've adjusted ours to 36 when dropping and 39 when rising.
