freezing

I have several busted filter pipes/plumbing due to freezing temps in GA. Based on others' advise I kept the pump running at night to keep from freezing, but it looks like it failed this time. Water was spraying everywhere so the pumps are still working. As of right now I cut the breaker power...

Last night was the first really cold night and I usually run the pump at night but the automation failed. The lip that keeps this lid on was snapped off from the pressure of the ice. I know I’ll probably need a new pump (I need a variable one anyway) but I’m at a loss for what to do once this...

Hello! Background: Last year during the Texas “snowmageddon” event my power went out at 2 am and it was well below freezing, near 0 degrees. I went immediately and drained all my equipment. I already had bottles filled w/ rocks in the skimmers to prevent freezing. Four days later when I had...

It's time to replace the deteriorating and getting louder by the day single speed pump. It is currently plumbed with the return line tucked nearly against the pump housing. The Superflow VS that is replacing it is too wide for that arrangement by about 4 inches or so. Two options I'm...

I’m out of town and we were about to hit 25F for around 48hrs. My wife doesn’t know how to work any thing so i was able to get her to enable cold temp pump run and set the heater to the lowest setting possible. Definitely going to cost me some cash but better than pool damage was my thinking. If...

Brief rundown of what I’m doing.. I insulated and tarped my equipment before the worst weather came. Small incandescent lamp in there. Checked last night and the enclosure I made was 32 degrees when the outside air was 10 with wind chill at -6.Pool water is down to 38. And now what I want to...

Hello! Texan here! We have an in-ground pool with 3 fountains. It has been below freezing this season around 20 and 30 degrees, but this Monday it is supposed to be SEVEN degrees (yes 7 degrees here in Leander, Texas!!!) and only 19 degrees during the day. We have an automatic temperature timer...
