    Skimmer plug popped out deep freeze how to prevent disaster?

    Thank you. Do you think if I do nothing it 100% guarantees a destroyed skimmer wall? I've attached some images if it helps. It looks to me like the ice is level on top of the pool. It's been draining for days.

    Pool Pressure issues

    Sand is smooth, but now another issue. Turned the pump off last night. When I turned it back on this morning it immediately lost prime (all the water left the pump. Does this indicate a leak somewhere? I don't see any water dripping anywhere. Maybe I should reattach/tape all of the fittings?

    Pool Pressure issues

    Hi, I have not used FlOCC. I'll open it and check. Should it it be clumped or loose? What are you thinking? FYI the sand is only 2 years old, as well as the pump/filter.
