Pool Equipment Cold Weather Prep-
Most automation systems have freeze protection set. The system will automatically come on when it reads a certain outside temperature (typically 34-36 degrees). The control system will most likely switch between pool and spa during the freeze protection.
Time clock systems - you can set your ON/OFF pins to allow your system to run during the coldest temperatures or you can remove the OFF pin and allow the pump to continually run until the temperatures outside warm up. Set your removed pin inside the time clock box to ensure it doesn't get misplaced/lost. You can then set the OFF pin back onto the timer for when you want the pump to normally shut off once the weather permits.
