What is freeze protection on Pentair?

How does freeze guard work on pool?
Freeze guards are set at 36 degrees and will turn your main circulating pump on and will keep it on until the temperature rises back above 36 degrees.

What temp should I set my pool freeze protection?
We do recommend that you set the freeze temperature at 40-45 degrees just to be safe. During extremely harsh weather (low 20’s and windy) you might consider just leaving the pump running 24 hours per day until the weather gets back up into the upper 20’s. You have to use your best judgment on this.
