Last year in TX we had record freezing weather with periods of grid downtime. We are a new time and first time pool owner. One month in! Our pump equipment is lower than our pool by several feet. We were told as a result of the equipment location, we will not be able to drain our pumps if freezing weather and electric will be out for hrs or days. Is this true? Does anybody have this situation and if so, any recommendations or suggestions? I have an electrician coming after the holiday to take a look at hooking up a breaker for a portable generator. But is this correct about not being able to drain our pumps? IM thinking about buying some insulation and heavy outdoor water proof blankets. Overkill? Tks all!
