Hello there!
Despite telling my pool builder in November that my water feature pump (Jandy 1.5 HP VS Flo Pro Pump) is leaking due to a poor/malfunctioning back plate, the pump has not been repaired. We are about to have a 3-day long freeze in Texas, and I am not excited about leaking water freezing on the equipment pad and potentially causing a minor leak to turn into a larger issue.
I will cover the equipment with a frost cloth/insulated blanket. I have been advised a warming light would also be helpful but I do not know what type of warming light might be safe to use under a blanket for 72 straight hours.
Any tips on how to plan to avoid a major incident here?
Our equipment pad is slightly below pool level (maybe 3-6 inches). If a pipe breaks, will water just exit the pool until it reaches equipment level? I realize I should know the physics of this by now, but I am not too proud to admit ignorance.
Thanks TFP!
