No need to turn on the heat pump. Just ensure you have the pump running and water is flowing through all the pipes.

The hp won't help the situation so just leave it off but make sure there's water flowing in any and every pipe that has water. Make sure there isn't any timer or schedule that can interrupt the power.

Thanks all! Water is flowing and the timers have been removed.

Alright hive mind. This is the current state. Do I have a disaster on my hands?
Water is still flowing in the skimmer and back through the returns. Current water temp shows 38, and this is the hourly temp forecast for today:
HAAAAALPPPPPP!

If it was dripping before, all the drips froze and it's harmless. (Besides needing lube on the o-rings and proper reassembly) If the pipes/equipment was frozen solid enough to do damage, there is no way it would have been able to turn on and move water. If it didn't drip at startup maybe the RPMs were lower and they started at freeze protection RPMs.
Or 2 of the 3 could be harmless at least. It doesn't have to be entirely catastrophic.

O rings shrink and lose their seal at cold temperatures.
That is how we lost a Space Shuttle.

Alright, I'll take that. LOL. It wasn't dripping before that I remember. I'll give it a few hours and hope it unthaws.
Safe to keep it on still with the high pressure?

List the models of all of your equipment in your signature. It is more important if you seek advice then the color of your liner and the type of steps.
