.....things got crazy around here after pool closing in Oct ( health issues,work issues etc etc) and we just realized that we never went back to use shop vac to drain filter basket..is now frozen solid ( likely just in the past week or so).....I'm assuming it is ruined or at least damaged...any input or thoughts?....I am so upset, but due to circumstances it was overlooked. hopefulyy the cold spell won;t last long and then we can drain it when it thaws...but?!?!?!?!?!?
