Freezing Weather Advisory
Dates: Every night from Saturday, January 24th, through Monday morning, January 26th.
Action Required: Ensure your pool pump(s) are running overnight to prevent damage due to freezing temperatures.
Automation Systems: If your system automatically turns on the pool when the temperature drops, no action is needed.
Mechanical Timers: Remove the "off" tripper from the timer to allow continuous circulation 24/7 until we return the following week.
By keeping the water moving, it will prevent freezing and protect your pipes and equipment.
In Case of Power Outage
Steps to Prevent Damage:
Turn Off Equipment at the Breaker.
Open the Air Relief Valve on the filter.
Remove Plugs and Lids from pumps, motors, filters, and heaters.
Place all removed plugs in the pump basket and loosely place the lid on the pump.
This process will help drain most of the water from your system, reducing the risk of ice damage if the power outage lasts several days. When the weather warms up, we will inspect the equipment and reinstall the plugs and lids.
Important: Follow these steps only if the power goes out. I will include a video tutorial to help guide you through the process.
