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!

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.
