Texas heat is killing the pumps!

[WBW]

Hi all, first year with our pool and had no idea the Texas heat might have an impact on our pool equipment, I was wondering what folks do to protect the pumps. In past years, we also had severe hail and even ice storms. We have three stone walls surrounding our pool pumps that is away from our house. No damage yet but taking preventative actions. Many neighbors claim after a number of years the equipment starts to age from the weather. Thoughts and if you done something, pictures? Thanks

Any shelter is better than nothing here’s some more ideas

Equipment Shelter

What kind of equipment protection or shelter does everyone have? I need ideas. I am in the process of getting my equipment pad installed and was planning to construct a cover of some type to protect everything from the Houston elements. I wasn’t wanting to go totally enclosed. Just something...

Shed over pool equipment and ventilation

Planning to put a shed like this over my pool equipment. For venting the 400,000 BTU gas heater, it looks like we need to do this: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/841887/Pentair-Mastertemp.html?page=21#manual https://www.manualslib.com/manual/841887/Pentair-Mastertemp.html?page=22#manual...

There was also a thread about equipment pads that @Texas Splash star but I can’t find it.
I have a deck that shades my equipment after mid day & my pump & swg are kinda hidden under there.

Thanks for the links! Great info and suggestions! It’s been 100 degrees every day for the past month and I’m assuming it will continue throughout August! Crazy weather patterns. Again thanks!
