Pool Freeze Protection

Dec 19

Your Pentair system will automatically go into Freeze mode when the outside temperature reaches approximately 34° F. The pool functions will cycle on and off. While in freeze mode (if you have a spa) the control panel will run back and forth between pool and spa mode. We recommend turning your pump speeds down from your mobile app. While in spa mode, the RPMs are generally much higher, which is not necessary when in Freeze mode. Turn the speeds down to about 1200 RPMs while the weather passes in preparation of freeze mode. After the cold weather passes, you can put back to normal speeds.

You will not be able to turn anything off or make any changes while the system is in Freeze mode. The only way to turn anything off is by turning the breaker off on the control panel. THIS IS NOT ADVISED. The pool will sense the safe temperature in which to resume normal functions and will automatically come out of freeze mode. As a precaution, we also recommend you wrap your fill line at the spigot to the pool.

It is not necessary, nor will it help, to heat the pool prior to or during a freeze.

If power is lost and you do not think it will return before temperatures have risen to a safe level, you can take the following steps to winterize your pool equipment:

1. Turn off breaker to pumps.

2. Remove pump basket lids.

3. Remove plugs on bottom of pump.

4. Open the pressure gauge on top of the filter. (Twist counter-clockwise to open it.)

5. Remove black 1.5" plug on bottom of filter.

6. Remove plug on heater manifold.

7. Cover equipment with blankets. (Be sure to remove blankets when starting equipment back up.)

8. Do not forget to wrap / protect fill lines and sprinkler lines.

It will be difficult, if not impossible, to restart the equipment once the power returns until the freeze has thawed out, so you must use your own judgement on whether or not to take these steps.

Being creative is at my core what makes me, me. I started off my career as a national touring artist that played in a country band. We played on average 180 shows a year for five years throughout the United States and Bahamas. In 2006 signed with a label in Nashville, released a few singles, got featured in some magazines (both national print magazines as well as online publications) and in 2013 my single “Stomp” was picked up and featured as The Pittsburgh Steelers game song. On November 17th 2013, one of my dreams came true as I sang The National Anthem and performed my single “Stomp” on the 50 yard line for a crowd of 50,000 plus people at Heinz Field for The Steelers vs Lions game.

While I was on the road touring in 2008 I started a digital marketing business to help other artists out called Nocturnal Music Group. I primarily focused on social campaigns for musicians and bands, driving traffic to their sites but quickly found myself getting into areas that did not involve music and also being contacted for web design as well.

I fell into photography by chance due to a client needing photos and no one being available to do it. After that I was hooked and have been shooting ever since. I’ve shot artists and bands, weddings and engagements, maternity and new borns, models, products and everything in between. I’ve also been featured in magazines both domestic and in 2020 I became an internationally published photographer.
