Before vs. after!

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

1. Keep the Water Moving - Moving water is less likely to freeze, which can protect your pipes, pumps, and other pool equipment.

You will need to run the pool pump continuously 24/7 during the freeze. If you have a variable-speed pump, set it to a higher speed. Ensure water flows through all the pipes, including any water features or fountains. If your pool has freeze protection already programmed into the system, you do not need to do adjust any settings.

If you have a heater, it would be wise to go ahead and set the heater temp to its lowest setting (40*) during the cold snap. This will keep the water above freezing and warm the pool equipment.

2. Protect Pool Equipment With Some Coverage - Pool equipment like pumps, valves, filters, and heaters are vulnerable to freezing temperatures. I would recommend insulating exposed pipes and equipment with towels, or blankets, but be sure to leave room for the pump(s) to have sufficient airflow.

-DO NOT COVER YOUR HEATER IF YOU PLAN TO RUN IT DURING THE FREEZE.

3. Power Outages - THIS IS THE WORST CASE SCENARIO - Duke power has shut power off in whole neighborhoods in the past to keep the grid from overloading . If a power outages happens at your home you will need to manually drain the water from your equipment and pipes to prevent freezing and damage ASAP.

Notes:

-It is normal to see some ice forming on the surface of the pool even though the equipment is running.

-The equipment that is exposed to the air is the most susceptible to damage from freezing temps.

-Keep an eye on how your pool is behaving. If you notice that you don't see any water moving, it is time to act quickly.

Please call or message us if you have any questions or concerns - We will be standing by ready to help.

Today’s skimmer critter rescue. His name is now Michael Phelps.

That’s just one skimmer basket out of 2 on this pool that was emptied 7 days ago. Be sure you’re checking your skimmers. This pollen season isn’t messing around.
