Hi folks
I just checked my pool equipment (pumps, filters, and pipes) and it looks like they survived the freeze. They only casualty is my auto fill pipe that is connected to the sprinkle water line. Apparently when the pool was installed the auto fill line was connected before the sprinkler line shut off valve instead of after it thus water was still flowing during the freeze causing the pipe to freeze. We capped this off so now no new water is being directly fed into the pool.
My question is if I refill the pool levels back up with just a regular water house from one of the taps on the side of the house, can I go ahead and restart the pool pumps again?
I assume yes but want to make sure.
PS I am so thankful for this online community for all the tips that allowed me to be as prepared as can be for this unexpected freeze.
