If you’re unable to keep your pool equipment running due to a major leak, significant water loss, or a power failure, it’s important to act quickly to help minimize further damage. In these situations, draining the equipment may be necessary. Do not just turn off and leave it alone during freezing conditions. Take action quickly.

Important: Always consult your pool service professional before draining equipment to ensure it’s done properly. NOTE: Flooded systems—where the equipment pad is lower than the pool—cannot be drained without risking significant water loss from the pool. If you’re unsure, contact your pool professional for guidance.
