If pool is closed it is best to drain the water from all of your pool equipment. Pumps, filters, chlorinators, heaters are equipped with freeze plugs or valves to drain the water from them
If you keep your pool open year round freeze guard is a must in order to protect equipment and lines from freeze damage. It will automatically turn the pump on when outside temperature drops below freezing. Freeze guard can be attached to any type of time clock.
