Supposed to get below freezing tonight and I've been hearing a lot of talk about prepping your pumbling and pipes in preparation for this. We have not had freezing temps here in probably 10 years or so but I never remember doing any of this before. Anyway I plan on letting the pool pump run all night and wrapping the water line that comes into the house.
I've also heard it is smart to leave one spigot slightly running outside to keep the rest of your plumbing from freezing with the warmer water running through the lines. I can keep one next to the pool running with a hose going into the pool.
Also my irrigation which pumps from the lake is set to run tomorrow morning(it comes on at 5AM. Should I let it run or shut the system down and wrap the pipe that feeds the pump from the lake?
