Freezing Weather Procedures Run filtration pump and jet pumps continuously. If functioning properly, your freeze guard should run the pump automatically until temperatures rise above freezing. Note: Direct sunlight on your freeze guard may trick it into functioning as if the temperature is above freezing thereby turning off your pump. If this happens, reactivate the pump manually and remove the timer trippers or switch the computer controller to service and turn the pumps on. The pumps WILL NOT turn off automatically in service mode. Break up ice on the pool and spa surfaces to keep the skimmers and skimmer doors free from ice. Carefully remove skimmer doors if it is not possible to keep them free of ice. Use caution to avoid damaging the skimmers. Maintain proper pool water level at all times (at the middle of the tile). If the water level drops too low, the pump will draw in air through the skimmers which increases the risk of equipment freeze damage. NEVER backwash during extremely cold conditions. Filter pressure gauges can freeze, resulting in inaccurate readings. DO NOT use heater during extreme cold unless it has been constantly running prior to the drop in temperature. Adjust pool and spa jets upwards to reduce surface freezing.
