Hi All,
We are having multiple days of below freezing here in Austin. I had our pump going for the first few days, but the power went off so, I drained the equipment (pump, filter) and put blankets over the pipes. The power is now back on but we have about a 1/2 inch of ice on our pool. I put the plugs back into the pump/filter and tried to start it up again with warm water to prime the pump, but it didn't work (just air).
I've broken up the ice, and there is no ice in the skimmer. We have a couple more days of freezing temps left.
It is a 4' in-ground fiberglass pool.
If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it!
