North Texas pools are vulnerable to freeze damage—burst pipes, cracked filters, and costly repairs. Most insurance does not cover freeze-related pool damage. Proactive preparation saves money and keeps your pool safe all winter long.

- Freeze protection systems can fail—always double-check settings.

- Power outages? Remove drain plugs from pumps and filters to prevent cracking.

- Leave pool covers off if ice is expected—covers can freeze to the water and tear.

- Keep water circulating at all times below 32°F.
