🥶Essential Steps to Protect Your Pool Equipment During a Texas Freeze🥶🌨️
When the forecast in Texas calls for a hard freeze, pool owners must take proactive steps to protect their pool equipment, especially if power outages are expected.
Here's a handy guide to help you safeguard your pool during those cold spells.
Step 1: Shut Off Power to the Pool Equipment
Before you begin the winterization process, ensure all pool equipment is powered off. This includes the pool pump, heater, automatic cleaners, and other related systems.
Step 2: Drain the Equipment
Protect your pool equipment from freeze damage by draining all the water from the pump, filter, heater, and pipes. Locate the plugs on your pool equipment; Remove each plug and allow the water to drain completely. Open the air relief valve on the filter to allow the filter to drain of water.
Step 3: Once everything is over you'll need to put all the plugs back in
Once the equipment is drained, it's crucial to put the plugs back in before turning back on the equipment.
