Freezing Weather Tips for Pools

1. Pump It Up: Keep the water circulating! Run your pool pump regularly during freezing weather to prevent stagnant water from freezing in the pipes. This helps avoid any potential damage from the expansion of frozen water.
2. Freeze Protection: Many modern pools come equipped with freeze protection features. Ensure that your pool’s freeze protection settings are properly configured to kick in when the temperatures drop. If you’re unsure how to set this up, don’t hesitate to contact Poolie; we’ve got you covered!
3. Pool Equipment Drainage: If there’s a power outage during extreme cold snaps, turn off your pool equipment at the main breaker. Afterward, be sure to drain any water from the pool’s main components, like the filter, pumps, and heater. This prevents damage from freezing water expansion.
