Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (which is 0 degrees Celsius).
The factors which might change the temperature at which your pool pipes may freeze are:
- other materials (such as salt) which are dissolved in the water
- the rate of flow (if any) of the water through the pipes
- the pipe diameter
- the insulating properties of the pipes themselves
- whether the pipes are buried underground
Good luck with your pool!

Should you insulate swimming pool pipes underground?
I see no reason why you would insulate them. When you close your pool for winter you will purge (empty) your pump and pipes. The water in the pool would freeze long before the water will in the pipes under ground.
What damage can a hard freeze do to an inground pool?
It can crack the pool and any pipes that has water in them that freeze. a way of protecting the pool is to float drums in a line along the middle of the pool there by leaving an unfrozen track along the middle into which the ice can expand. You should definitely empty the filter and exposed water pipes.
Is it necessary to wrap the PVC pipes on your pool equipment in this cold weather?
So long as the water does not freeze there is not much to worry about however if you think that they will freeze up you would be well advised to empty them. water expands when frozen and is able to even split metal pipes.

If you were to drain your pool for winterization would it damage it even if there is a hydrostatic valve?
I would NOT recommend leaving the pool drained all winter. If water froze in your hydrostatic relief pipes it could be the same as leaving them plugged. Further, moisture in the ground under the pool shell could freeze, expand, and "heave" the pool.

What is the benefit to obtaining a freeze alarm?
The benefit of obtaining a freeze alarm would be that it will notify you when your pipes freeze or a leak occurs so that a person could prevent flooding of their home. It is good to have a freeze alarm when a person is gone on vacation for an extended period of time as it will alert them if the pipes freeze.
