Pool pump is running loud and I’ve shut it off while figuring next step. May need bearings replaced.

In Mandeville so not getting crazy cold but probably enough to take some pipe precautions. Normally I would just set it to run for an hour or so late night.

Should everything be okay from freezing if I just open everything up, depressurize, etc?

TIA.

If you have a heater, make sure to drain it. Regular freezes didn't have an impact on my heater, but then we had winterpocalype in 2021 when it dropped below 0 and smoked the heater.

I'm in the Greystone area of Denham Springs....I put everything on manual and let it run.....7 years of doing this no problems. (25,000 gallon in ground salt water)

Just plan for it to run during the freezing temps, with loud bearings. If you do hire someone to fix your bearings please post who you hired to do that.
