We are seeing unprecedented cold temperatures for a long stretch of time in February 2021 due to the impact of Winter Storm Uri. Within the context of this emergency, for all local pool owners that are currently hoping to protect your pool, pool cleaning & heating equipment, and accessory pumps, we recommend you not attempt winterize your pool in the midst of this crisis, unless you have failing equipment. Proper winterization requires blowing out the pool lines and plugging them.
There are several options when it comes to winterizing your pool. The weather in Oklahoma does not require that you completely shut down your pool in the winter.
THE #1 ENEMY: FREEZING!!!!!
When water freezes, it expands with enormous force. It can crack pool pipes, filters, pumps and skimmer baskets.
Your time clocks or automation system should be equipped with an automatic freeze guard that turns on the pump when the temperature reaches 34-37 degrees. This feature should protect your pump from freezing. HOWEVER, if you lose power, the freeze guard will not work. At this point, you will need to winterize your pumps.

The most common type of landscape fabric is a nonwoven textile made of plastic fibers, often black, that may be perforated with small holes. The use of landscape fabric is based on the idea that it will either physically keep weeds from growing, or that it will keep seeds in the soil from sprouting by blocking the sunlight. The fabric also cannot help with windblown seeds since those will germinate no top of the fabric.
