Ensure All Pumps Are Running:

• Verify that all pumps in your pool equipment are operating to maintain water circulation and prevent freezing.

• If you notice that your equipment does not turn on automatically, it typically means there is no freeze protection or that it is not enabled. In this case:

  • Put Your Equipment in Service Mode: Manually set your system to service mode.

  • Turn On All Pumps: Ensure all pumps are running to keep water circulating and avoid freezing.

  • Find videos below showcasing the process.

​

Prepare for Power Outages:

• If there is no power, follow these steps (if your pool equipment is at a lower elevation than your pool, please contact Poolheads for advise before draining):

  • Turn Off the Pool Equipment Breakers: Before draining, ensure the breakers are turned off to prevent the equipment from turning on and running dry when power is restored.

  • Drain the Pumps: Remove the pump lid and the plugs on the pump housing to release any water (see picture below).

  • Drain the Filter: Unscrew the filter plug and open the air relief valve to ensure no water remains in the system (see picture below).

  • Drain the Heater: Unscrew the drain plug from the manifold of the heater to drain any remaining water. 

  • Find video below showcasing the process. 

​

Add Extra Protection:

• Cover your equipment with a tarp to shield it from cold winds and retain some heat.
