Frozen Pools – What to Do

Share:

If your pool wasn’t professionally winterized, it’s essential to keep the water circulating to prevent it from freezing. A frozen pool can cause significant damage to the pool itself, the piping system, and the equipment. If freezing does occur, quick action is crucial, as the situation can worsen rapidly.

1. Warm Up the Pool Equipment:

● If your equipment is in an enclosed area, use a heater to warm the space.

● For outdoor equipment, use warm blankets or other safe methods to melt the ice inside and around the equipment.

2. Restore Circulation:

● Once the ice has melted, carefully turn the system back on and ensure proper circulation is restored.

3. Raise the Pool Temperature:

● After circulation is normalized, turn on the pool heater to gradually increase the water temperature.

To avoid these emergencies, always have your pool professionally winterized before freezing temperatures set in. Contact us for information on frozen pools and what to do.
