Freezing Weather Procedures
1.Run pump and filter continuously. The freeze guard unit should automatically activate the pool pump and keep it running until temperatures rise above freezing. Wind, sunlight, and shade may affect the freeze guard operation. As an extra precaution, remove all tripper pins from main time clock and leave in position.
2. Carefully break ice formations on tile or pool surface to prevent ice damage.
3. Clear skimmers of ice. Skimmer door may be removed or weighed down to improve flow if necessary.
4. Maintain water level. Evaporation of water is normal during cold weather. If skimmers draw air, it increases chances of freeze damage to the equipment. If outdoor faucets are frozen, connect a garden hose to an inside water supply and fill pool from there. Try to fill the pool before a hard freeze hits.
5.Maintain valves in normal filtration position for suction and return water to pool and spa.
6. Open hose bib on backwash line or remove sight glass to drain water from backwash line.
7. Turn directional returns towards water surface to case surface movement and reduce ice formation.
Loss of Electricity or Power Outage Procedures During Freezing Weather
1. Shut off circuit breakers.
2. Open air relief valve located on top of the filter. If frozen shut, pour lukewarm water slowly over the entire pressure gauge to dislodge the ice. Drain water from filter through backwash line or drain plug.
3. Remove pump basket and cover.
4. Remove pump drain plugs and drain water from pumps.
5. Remove drain plug from pool cleaner pump and drain water.
6. Remove winterizing plugs from side of heater.
7. Remove lid and plastic tube from chlorinator.
8. Place empty plastic milk containers partially filled with peagravel or sand in each skimmer to dissipate pressures from ice formation/
9. Reverse procedures when electricity is restored and freezing conditions have ended.
