First year pool owner here... So with the cold weather in Georgia (below freezing temps this week), I now understand how Jandy's Freeze Protect works. It's great for the variable speed circulation pump, but I really don't like having my bubblers and waterfall running the entire time that the temp dips below 34F. It just seems like a terrible waste of electricity/money. I'm thinking it will be better to just pull the drain plugs on those pumps and blow out the suction/return lines with a shop vac. I'd likely also turn the breakers off for the pumps at the panel as well to prevent them from running. I'm not planning on draining the filter or the main pump. Is there anything else that I'm missing?
