FREEZE PROTECTION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE FOR PROTECTING YOUR COWBOY POOL EQUIPMENT IN CASE OF A FREEZE

• IN THE CASE OF A LIGHT FREEZE LASTING 1-2 DAYS:
• Flip the switch on your timer to "On" so that the pool water continues circulating during freezing weather. Stagnant water means frozen water. Keep the water flowing until the temps rise above freezing. Flip the switch on your timer to "On" so that the pool water continues circulating during freezing weather. Stagnant water means frozen water.
• Keep the water flowing until the temps rise above freezing For additional insulation and protection against the elements, cover your pump, filter and hoses with blankets or towels. If you have one of our Heater Systems, and as long as you keep your filter pump running (Step 1), water will be flowing through and there's no need to follow freeze protocol just yet.

• IN THE CASE OF AN EXTREME FREEZE LASTING LONGER THAN A COUPLE DAYS:
• Unplug your pool pump.
• Plug the inside of your pool with your three twist-on plugs.
• Unscrew the clear pump pot basket lid from your pump. This will help prevent the water in your pump from expanding and cracking the unit. If your lid is frozen, pour a cup of warm water over the top to help loosen it up.
• Put your filter multiport valve in WINTERIZE position. For Waterco pumps, this is between Rinse and Filter. For Waterway pumps, this is between Waste and Closed. If your valve is frozen, pour warm water over the top to help loosen it.
• If you have a heater, unplug the drain plug on your heater. It is a long, gold metal piece at the bottom of your heater unit. Remember, every part is replaceable or repairable, and we can help you navigate any issues that arise with your pool or equipment.
