Salt Water Chlorine Generator for New Pool Build

[Toybuilder]

Normally in areas where you get a hard freeze people "close" their pool. This involves removing the water from the pipes so that busted pipes is a non issue. Unless you have a generator/UPS for the pool pump, relying on it running all winter is probably a bad idea. One power outage and you might have busted pipes.

Here's information on how to close a pool. You can also hire a pool guy to do it for you if you'd rather not DIY.

Thanks for the input. We are closing our pool down for the winter...but not our spa. Discussed this with the builder and he says that he's done this before. With the equipment and exposed piping inside the equipment building, and it being insulated, we should be ok. I hope. If worse comes to worse and it gets super cold, I'll put a small portable heater in there to keep things above freezing. Guess we'll see in a few months.
