The Augusta Frenzy

When that cold front hits Georgia, everyone's running outside to "save the pool." The problem? Most people make it worse — shutting off pumps, draining too far, or leaving lines exposed. Every year, it's chaos.

"Every single year we have people that see ice on their pool and turn the pump off — that's the opposite of what you need to do!"

— Michael, ASP Augusta

Your 3-Step Freeze Protection Plan

Follow this simple timeline to protect your pool when Augusta's temperatures drop.

BEFORE the Freeze

  • Set your pump to run overnight (yes, all night!)

  • Check water levels — keep them at normal height

  • Clear any debris from skimmers and drains

  • Test your freeze guard if you have one installed

  • Keep ASP's number handy: (XXX) XXX-XXXX

DURING the Freeze

  • Keep water circulating — DO NOT turn off the pump!

  • Check that water is flowing from return jets

  • If you see ice forming on top, that's normal — keep pumping

  • Monitor for any unusual sounds or pressure changes

  • Stay calm — you're doing the right thing

AFTER the Freeze

  • Inspect for visible cracks in equipment or plumbing

  • Monitor filter pressure for the next few days

  • Look for leaks around pumps and connections

  • Schedule a post-freeze inspection with ASP

  • Share what worked with your neighbors!
