Hard freeze and pools

[LivinADream]

I'd think twice before draining. We drained a pool when the ground was wet and it floated. Broke all the pipes.

If it is in ground, I would be draining it now, or dump a lot of antifreeze or alcohol in it.

The people I have known who had in ground pools, drained them, during the winter.

Terrible advice. Do not drain your pool & do not put antifreeze in you pool. If you guys up north are concerned about you pool water freezing, throw several landscape timbers in there. Ice expands one time, the timbers will compress to keep it from breaking your pool. For the pipes, keep it circulating if possible.

I’m not dumping 19,000 Gallons of Water. What part of the Country do they Drain Swimming Pools?

Freeze protection here too, I called as this is my 1st cold snap with a pool and my pool guy said letter eat!

Anyone up for a polar plunge monday?

If you’re going to do it wait till Tuesday

Do not drain your pool period as you will have a bad result in the end. Just run it 24/7 or drain all pumps and filters.

This is good advise!

I personally open the filter vent and pump case vent. This allows most of the water to drain back to the pool.

This thread is more proof I never want a pool. What a PITA.

Good luck. I helped a friend with her pool today.

This forecast got me worried so I wrapped all the pipes in wool insulation, tarped the whole setup and put a heat lamp under there. My pool equipment is on the north side of the house in that wind so I felt like I needed to do something. Fingers crossed.

And run the risk of the complete pool floating out of the ground, no no

As said above, keep pumps running. Most current models kick on automatically at 37 degrees. If power loss, drain everything you can, filter, pumps etc

They could light a mr buddy heater and throw it in. That would work about as good as draining the entire pool![emoji23]

Run it 24/7. My Hayward has freeze enable so it handles itself.
