Ice isn't meant to be in a pool pump. this can damage/ruin it. that is why you hear a grinding noise.

Pool filter making noise
you probably need a new pump
salt water does provide a lower degree of freezing temperature but the normal amount in a salt water pool is so low that the answer is "not enough to make a difference". Protect your pool and equipment from freezing as you would if it weren't a salt water pool
You need to circulate the pool water in freezing conditions to prevent the pool piping, filter system,etc from freezing and being damaged. If you can bypass the solar system and are assured that ALL the panels and associated piping is drained you will be ok if not run the system, yes you will cool the pool down but will not damage the system
there is probably something in the pool that got into the pump
Yes it is true. if you empty a pool and the ground-water level is high enough, the pool turns from being a 'pool', to being a 'boat'. I have personally witnessed the event. A 45ft concrete (gunite) pool while being emptied, with the discharge water being pumped out close to the pool - and whammo!!. It was like the second coming of Christ!. A huge noise, and the pool reared itself out of the ground. We were inside the house and heard the noise and only knew what happened when we looked outside and saw the pool angled out of the ground, 4 ft higher at one end than it started out at.
Yes, All you have to do is run your pump during any periods of freezing weather to avoid the water freezing
they have two outside and one inside pool
Assuming you live in an area where pools are winterized and shut down for winter, I would run filter for 45min - 1 hour per day. Be carefulk not to over sanitize the pool because chlorine (etc) demand is very low while water is so cold. If you expect to experience freezing weather then do not turn your pump off. LEAVE YOUR PUMP ON. Moving water can not freeze. As water freezes there is expansion. This freezing/expansion can destroy your pump, filter and pipes. Steve Dunn Commercial Pool Systems, Inc.
A room noise detector could serve as a burglar alarm during the night and when away from home, of course, if no noisy dogs or other pets. It could serve as a child protection device, near a door to the outside of the home or near a swimming pool gate to alert the adults of he child's presence near the pool, or a road with traffic.
Sure you can turn off the pool pump, the water won't be circulating anymore but since you are not using the pool it does not matter. Make sure the outside temperature is above freezing until winterizing because non moving water freezes earlier than moving water.

Inside and out of the reach of children.
The Hotel Palomar does in fact have a pool outside. Judging by the lovely pictures on their website, it appears to be relaxing and elegant. The pool is a good selling point for potential customers. You should check it out for yourself.
If you are asking about a 27' circumference pool, then the answer is 27'
