Freezing and Winter Weather

In regions where temperatures drop below freezing, it's recommended to use the chiller bypass hose and relocate the chiller indoors during freezing conditions. Keeping the chiller protected from freezing is the responsibility of the customer. Click here to see how to add the chiller bypass hose.

When running your unit outdoors in cold climates, always keep your pump running and filters fresh. To ensure optimal flow, you may even opt to remove the filter completely and allow the water pass freely through the filter housing with no chance of the filter slowing down flow.

From our experience through two winters, we have only experienced damage to the filter housing due to freezing. This is likely because the filter itself can slow down the flow, and especially when it is clogged. This is why removing the filter cartridge during below freezing temperatures will significantly decrease your chances of freezing.

Damage to any components due to freezing will not be covered by our warranty, so it's important to stay on top of maintenance if keeping your unit outdoors in freezing temperatures.
