As temperatures drop, your pool’s plumbing and equipment are at risk of freezing, potentially causing significant damage and costly repairs. Fortunately, Jandy’s advanced pool equipment offers built-in freeze protection to prevent such issues. This guide explains how Jandy’s freeze protection works, why it’s essential to trust the technology, and how Majestic Pools & Outdoor Living, Inc. ensures your equipment is set up for success.

What Is Jandy Freeze Protection?

Jandy pool pumps are equipped with a freeze protection feature designed to protect your pool equipment during cold weather. When temperatures near freezing, the system automatically activates the pump, ensuring water continues to circulate through the plumbing. Here’s how it works:

• Automatic Activation: When the equipment’s thermostat reaches 38°F, it triggers the pump to turn on at a set speed.
• Duration: The pump remains active until the equipment’s thermostat rises to 41°F.
• Customization: Using the iAquaLink app, homeowners can adjust the pump speed and freeze protection duration.

Common Misconceptions About Freeze Protection

Many homeowners accustomed to older pool systems may misinterpret how Jandy’s freeze protection operates. For instance:

1.  “The Pump Sounds Different”: During freeze protection, the pump may run at varying speeds. This behavior is normal and ensures optimal circulation based on the system’s settings.
2.  “It’s Not Running Overnight”: Unlike older systems that rely on timers to run continuously during freezing temperatures, Jandy’s freeze protection activates only when necessary, saving energy and reducing wear and tear.
3.  “I Should Override It”: Overriding the freeze protection can void your Jandy warranty. Trusting the system’s programming is crucial to maintaining warranty coverage and preventing damage.
