Texas pool owners, here's something you NEED to know before the first freeze. 🥶🏊
Unlike homeowners in colder states, we don't typically have to shut down and winterize our pools for the entire season.
But that doesn't mean your pool is automatically protected when temperatures drop.
Many modern pool systems have automatic freeze protection that activates circulation when temperatures approach freezing, helping protect plumbing and equipment.
Sounds great, right? There's just one catch...
What happens when the power goes out? ⚡
If your pump can't run, that freeze protection can't do its job. And during a prolonged Texas freeze, that can put your pool equipment at risk.
That's why it's worth understanding your pool's freeze protection settings, having an emergency winterization plan, and considering backup power options like a properly sized generator.
Because protecting your backyard investment is just as important as building it.
