Ice and plumbing do not mix. Most plumbing on pools are plumbed with PVC and are subject to cracking as the water expands as it turns to ice. This can cause major damage to the pool equipment and underground plumbing. The last thing you want is to have is something freeze and break.
Running water will not freeze. Therefore most pools are equip with freeze protection devices to turn pumps on or to keep pumps running. This should prevent freeze damage.
However, in case of a power outage or an equipment malfunction during freezing temperatures, you can follow these simple steps to help prevent costly repairs.
