VIDEO: Pool pump explodes after getting frozen
The article reports an incident in Plano, Texas, where pool equipment exploded due to freezing temperatures. The house owner, Terry Roden, shared surveillance footage showing his pool pump exploding after he turned it on following a winter storm. Roden explained that a temperature-sensing device called a freeze stat, designed to prevent coils from freezing, failed to activate on his pool equipment, leading to the explosion. After the freeze stat failure, he used an industrial heater to thaw the pump before turning it on, causing the top of his filter pod to break loose and explode.
