Unheard of temps in central TX - 10°F

[ciaka]

As a new pool owner, this is starting to concern me. We have never owned a pool in winter before, never mind in middle of unprecedented low temperatures.

We are locked in our homes now, several counties declared areas of disaster, so can't really go to a store get some heaters, etc.

Pool has been running 24/7 over last few days. I am monitoring the pumps, they are on freeze protection. Haven't seen piping yet, maybe today. Spa seems to alternate with pool on 30 minute cycles imo, water features running full time too.
Don't know what else I can do but maybe pray a little. Last thing I want is damage. What a pita.

Here is a thread with others having the same issue

Rolling black outs possible NTX

What do you drain on the pump and booster pump? They should both have thumb screw like plugs. Usually 2 and near the bottom of the sides.
