"Low temperatures affect both pumps and hoses. The cold means that Hoses do not expand as much meaning they can carry less water, You may see DE ( Dead end) unexpectedly show on the controller.

In cold weather as the pump works harder DE calibration may have to increase. DO this by setting flow, open valvea and rub Autocal.

In below freezing temperatures. Please be aware that the hoses and pump can freeze. Where this happens the Ice creates a blockage. This will see the Pimp Pressure Switch Activate and the Controller will show PS. It may also show DE then PS. In below freezing weather teh system will need to be defrosted."

Consider preventative measures such as taking hoses indoors, fitting insulation or a Hot water system.
