FREEZE WARNING

Here is Las Vegas we don't close and winterize pools very much.  So now that the weather is going to be in the twenties for the next week or so here are a few tips that can save you a repair bill.

• Make sure your pump is running at night during the coldest hours I set mine from midnight till six am
• Insulate all valves that are exposed to the elements. This can be done by wrapping an old towel or blanket around it and securing it with duct tape
• If you have a bypass valve for your heater make sure the water is bypassed. Freezing water expands and can cause serious damage to your heat exchanger.
• Make sure your solar system is turned off and drained. 
• If your pool is equipped with an automation system such as a Pentair IntellaTouch  or simular system make sure the freeze protection is turned on.  This will automatically turn on your pool and spa features that have been synced to it to prevent freezing.
• If you have an auto-fill it is connected to vacuum breaker valve. A picture of one is below. These are the most common things to freeze on a pool system.  Make sure it is well insulated. 

 If you do have a problem with freezing or any other pool matter in Las Vegas give us a call for a free estimate. 702-448-2483
