If only I had seen this message I would probably would not have lost allThey are saying rolling blackouts and wide spread electrical power outages. Roads may be down for days because No one in this area has road clearing machinery. Dallas will be worse
6 inches of snow on 2 different days with no way of clearing the roads. May be entire tanks wiped out here because unlike summer storms you will have no way to keep your fish warm once
power is gone. Now is almost 2 late for any preparation,
If there a way to drain the lines if this is gonna happen next year? Or is it best to cut the water off? Would that leave water in the lines? Or is it better to leave the water on and slightly flowing?My wrasses eye in my display tank is white now.
Not anything that has to be done now but pool equipment plumbing is hosed. Also worried about the heat exchanger in the heater. Normally the pump and heater runs when it’s less than 40° to keep things from freezing. Since it lost power it all had water in the lines and an exchanger.
The pool equipment runs when temp gets down to 35° (Dunno why I thought 40°) but when power goes away obviously doesn’t work. That section of pipe I don’t see a way to drain. Maybe add a Tee and a valve.If there a way to drain the lines if this is gonna happen next year? Or is it best to cut the water off? Would that leave water in the lines?

Maybe time for a 2nd generator? Pool equipment is costly to fix.The pool equipment runs when temp gets down to 35° (Dunno why I thought 40°) but when power goes away obviously doesn’t work. That section of pipe I don’t see a way to drain. Maybe add a Tee and a valve.
The heat exchanger has a drain plug.
If you are lucky that spigot broke right inside the wall. If you have space, when you get it fixed take advantage and get a frost free like they use up north. Just go to your home supply store of choice and search "frost free spigot". There are some fancy ones but a standard 4" should be plenty for what we get down here. Just be sure to add insulation around it in the wall.
I had a pipe burst at one of the elbows-luckily it was an outside faucet like Steve’s, and it was at the end of a water line, so was able to cut and cap temporarily rather than do a bigger fix. My plumber will come back next week to either repair it or install a new faucet somewhere close by. Do the “frost free spigots” just keep the actual faucet from splitting?If you are lucky that spigot broke right inside the wall.
