Winter Guide -
‘SOUTHERN’
COLD WEATHER CARE
DURING ALL 38* or BELOW TEMPERATURES :
1. KEEP ALL PUMPS ON (filter, cleaner, fountain, etc.)
(remember
- wind chill and dew points can create freezing conditions)
IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE OF SLEET, SNOW or DEEP FREEZE (more
than 8hrs below 32*), THEN ALSO:
2. PLACE A WATER PROOF TARP LOOSELY OVER EQUIPMENT/PLUMBING (to prevent
frozen rain/snow from having contact with equipment/plumbing).
Make sure tarp is not in direct
contact with equipment/plumbing (use cardboard or lawn chair cushions between
equip/tarp).
IF YOU CAN NOT RUN YOUR PUMPS AND/OR WE GET AN EXTREMELY LONG
FREEZE THAT CAUSES PLUMBING TO START FREEZING:
3. MAKE SURE MAIN POWER TO PUMP(S) IS TURNED OFF (SO PUMP WILL NOT
AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON IF POWER IS RESTORED).
4. OPEN FILTER AIR RELIEF VALVE(S).
5. REMOVE PUMP STRAINER POT LID(S).
* As
always, if you notice any equipment not working properly - turn off power to
pump.
How to
turn your pumps on:
AUTOMATIC REMOTE
SYSTEMS
These systems should be programmed to turn ALL your pumps on anytime the air
temperature drops below 38*.
If all pumps do not come on, or you can not turn them on from your
indoor controller, then:
1. Go to outside control box.
2. Place Controller into "Service" mode.
3. Turn on ALL pumps (Filter, Cleaner, Fountains, Etc.)
4. After Freeze Danger - turn outside control back to "AUTO".
MANUAL
TIME CLOCKS
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A FREEZE PROTECTOR INSTALLED ON ALL PUMPS,
THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO SWITCH EACH PUMP ON:
1. At each timer: slide switch(s) to turn pump(s) on.
2. If needed: loosen and remove "OFF" trip switch so pump will
stay on until freeze dangers have passed.
3. After Freeze Danger - Replace "OFF" trip switch(s) and timer
will go back to controlling pumps like normal.
