Don't forget what happened in 2021 with the big freeze. If you lose power with low temps in the 20s or lower it is time to drain pool equipment to avoid freezing. Your pumps, filter and heater all have drain plugs. Water will drop to pool level which is below ground at the equipment and you should be ok.
Prevention of power loss is also an important consideration. Everybody want a powerful backup generator with automatic switchover. Affording it is another matter and what is your true ROI?
I suggest you look at BASE POWER here in Texas. They install large backup batteries with automatic switching for a nominal installation installation charge. PLUS your cost per kilowatt hour through BASE POWER on your monthly bill drops to around 8.0 cents vs 14.9 cents market pricing. Pool owners with larger houses could save almost $200 month plus the peace of mind of backup power for most outages. Check it out.

Below-market electricity rates and home battery backup from Texas' modern energy provider. Reliable power made affordable.

"My Wife Edna and I have been very pleased with the service provided to us by Jim Burkhart since he designed and built our custom pool in the spring of 2010. He provided the time required to design the pool that we wanted to enhance our new home. The construction was timely and the quality of the installation was excellent. Our new pool has required minimal service but when we have requested warranty service Jim gas been very prompt to respond to our request. Overall, Edna and I are pleased to have contracted with Jim for the design, installation and maintenance of our new custom built pools at our new home. He has provided us professional and timely service to our satisfaction."

"Jim really went above and beyond my expectations. Our pool is excellent and he was there every step to guide us so there were no surprises. I would recommend pools plus to anyone who asks without hesitation. We had a large pool and spa built in our back yard and it really turned out better than we hoped. Everything went smooth except for the weather putting us behind on final touches like sod, but we can't control the weather. Jim kept us informed through the bad weather."

Don’t believe the myths about saltwater pools. Salt is used to generate chlorine in the water, but it doesn’t eliminate the need for regular maintenance. Understand the true costs of a saltwater pool before making your decision.

With salt systems, you still need chlorine to sanitize the water. You’ll need to manage salt levels, stabilizer, and acid—leading to more maintenance compared to using chlorine tablets.

"They show up when they say they will. We had to do the pool in stages, depending on where we were on the overall home construction. When they worked, they were fast and neat. They cleaned up after each stage. They did what they said they'd do. The finished pool is beautiful. I would highly recommend them. Description of work: New Pool and Spa, PCC 2000"

The upfront cost of a salt system might seem appealing, but over 4 years, you could spend more on operating and maintaining a saltwater pool than a traditional chlorine pool. Understand the long-term costs before deciding.

"We met Jim for the first time when we were shopping for a pool for our new house in 2003. By that time we had already checked half a dozen different pool companies. He showed up at our house and gave an absolutely outstanding presentation about his pool design for our house that included the PCC 2000 in-floor cleaning system. The fate of our pool was decided. The following day we came made the commitment and that was the beginning of a very enjoyable time of being a pool owner. Since this was our first pool, we were really concerned with amount of time and efforts required to maintain our pool. The PCC 2000 cleaning system completely solved our problems. After 3.5 years of having our pool I can say that it takes me only minutes a week to clean out the baskets and check the chemicals. My pool is always clean and is a subject of envy of my friends and neighbors. Jim, thank you very much for building us beautiful and low-maintenance pool!"
