Thanks for the insight folks -- one thing -- pool does not have a heater. No need for one here in Texas -- more need for a pool cooler :-)

First post -- looking for a little advice.... I'm in Fort Worth TX and we're undergiong a major cold snap (like the rest of the country seems to be!). So far, the pool pump is running and all seems to be well, but the forecast is for sub freezing temps (lows in single digits F, highs no more than 20~25). Is there any way to insulate the pool pump/equipment to make sure things stay running through the cold snap? We had an incident year before last -- with a couple of days of below freezing temps, pool was running fine and then all of a sudden something froze up. I managed to pull the drain plugs in time and there was no damage. Trying to prevent that -- any tips/tricks for insulating or using pipe warmers? No imminent danger -- water temp is around 44 now, but if I need to go to the big box store for supplies, I'd like to do it before it gets dark HELP! and thx! :-)
