Houston Area Freeze

[TexasBR]

Hello friends in the Greater Houston area,

Do we need to do anything beyond running the pump continuously in order to cope with the upcoming freeze?

Super Thanks

Following. We have a forecast low of 6F here in Austin. My pool equipment is all below the water line too... any leak and I’ll lose $1500 of water...

Running the pump should address the problems BUT be prepared. Power outages are a very real possibility in the area if snow hits and you’ll be forced to scramble to drain all your equipment. Don’t wait until next week to learn where your drain plugs are.

I can fill my 17K pool for less $100 bucks... Why would your water be so much more expensive?

Thank you Leebo. I hadn't considered power outages.

A couple tips just incase you didn't see it already along with the other thread out there.

Texas Freeze Prep

South Texas is currently experiencing temps close to zero, so many people are asking what they should do. In most cases, simply keeping the water moving is all you need to do to avoid freezing lines or equipment. Temps have to be well below freezing for quite a while before freezing pipes...
