    Frozen pool

    Yes, sorry. Just asked my husband if he can send me a picture. Breakers have been off since we lost power. We were worried that power would come on while we were gone and pump would turn off. Once I can close the valves that are sticking up from the ground will do so. Thanks

What can we do to stop the pool from continuing to drain from the check value? Should we pull the plugs on the pump? The spa...
