SECTION 4 - SERVICE Page S4-6
FREEZE WARNINGS
Not all swimming pools require the winterization process as described on the
preceding page. For example, swimming pools located in Florida and elsewhere do
not require this winterization process. These pools are not located in Òhard-freezeÓ
locations [like Minnesota].
However, in some areas that do not winterize the pool, there is still the
possibility of a period of one or more days when temperatures below freezing are
occurring [or being forecasted] by prevailing weather. OR, you may be simply late in
getting around to winterizing your pool. What do you do in such an instance?
The standard operating procedure in such an instance is to keep the poolÕs
filtration pump running during this brief period of freezing temperatures. This also
pertains to the PCS1. You should keep water running through the PCS1 during this
period of time.
Operating Procedure
1. Ensure that the poolÕs pump is manually ON.
2. Ensure that the bypass valve is manually ON.
3. Keep water flowing through the poolÕs pipes and the PCS1 until freezing
temperatures are no longer present.
CAUTION
Failure to keep water running [flowing] in such an instance can result in damage to
the poolÕs plumbing, support system and the PCS1.
