Winter freezes can wreak havoc on your pool equipment, and now that the cold has passed, it’s crucial to inspect your pool to ensure everything is in working order. Freezing temperatures can cause pipes to crack, pumps to malfunction, and filters to sustain damage. Here’s what you should know about checking your pool equipment after a freeze and how Blue Ox Pools can help.
Key Areas to Inspect
1. Pool Pump and Motor Your pool pump is the heart of your pool system, and freezing temperatures can damage its internal components. Check for:
- Cracks in the housing or seals.
- Unusual noises or failure to start.
2. Pipes and Plumbing Frozen water expands, often causing cracks in your pool’s plumbing system. Look for:
- Leaks around pipe joints.
- Dripping or puddling water near your equipment.
3. Pool Filter Your filter housing and internal parts can also suffer freeze damage. Check for:
- Cracks in the filter housing.
- Reduced water pressure or flow.
4. Pool Heater If you have a pool heater, inspect it for visible damage. Freezing temperatures can compromise gas lines or internal components.
5. Pool Surfaces Freezes can cause tile, plaster, or other surfaces to crack. Walk around the pool to look for damage.
