Water level dropped the last couple days and overnight the pump stopped priming. I'm adding water now but I'm guessing it's too late. The fountains which run on the same circuit are still running so I'm hesitant to cut the power. Any tips on what I can do to get the pump back running. I'm in Dallas Texas so everything is Snowmageddon
Pump and lines frozen?

Sounds like your fountains run off of a different pump huh? Well, once you get water to the proper level, prime the pump basket that stopped priming with water and try it. Make sure the poolside skimmer basket is clear and that the weir door isn't frozen shut. If the pump comes on, watch closely for any signs of leaks.
If it won't prime do I just shut everything down and wait out this last cold day and night? The fountains are on a seperate pump but the same circuit so I can't slpit the power.

Sorry Trucker, just saw your reply. But yes, if it won't prime, I'd drain things and take precautions to just wait it out and try again tomorrow.
