Freezing temps, pool frozen solid

Thanks all for the responses. Being new at this, I was just worried about the ice expanding, and maybe stretching the pool walls.

Since the pool surface isn't restricted, the ice rises. What you have to worry about are things like the skimmer, filter and plumbing where the ice doesn't have anyplace to go.

Seems like the ice could tear the liner but since that's how it's done here in Michigan I guess it's not a problem.
