I would cover pool if you have a pool tarp. That will help insulate
The main reason to keep the water features running is to keep the water in the pipes moving, otherwise the pipes bust.

Lost water feature pump to freeze so far (took the pump out, drained and closed lines to it). Main pump and spa are on freeze control. Have a tarp over it with heat lamp to help, as we are expecting 0 Monday night. Times like these, glad we have insurance as this can wipe out filter, pumps, heater, etc.

Am I the only one that does this: I turn off the all pumps and release the pressure on the big filter. Without pressure in the pipes, the water can't crack the pipes.
Think of this guys, if you are running 24/7 and your electricity goes out, your pipes are fully pressurized and will burst. My way eliminates that possibility. Try it.
