Texas Freeze - Busted In Line Chlorinator

[rgrountree]

Hello,

In Houston Texas area and was in the the path of our most recent freeze apocalypse. We lost power so I did open up the pumps to drain water out of the system but I did not open the in-line chlorine feeder. I did not think of that one. Well the feeder froze and shattered.

The good news is I actually converted to salt so I don't need the feeder.
