Technically, it's frozen in the summer as well. Freezing : the process of a liquid becoming a solid. Since the metal of a lifter is in a solid form, it's frozen.  :P

Ok ok, I get the message. I've never heard of water getting into the "works" and then freezing, stopping the cover lifter from operating.
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

Are you by chance referring to a cover mate 3 with hydraulic shocks?  I would think it would be no different then your car shocks...

Ahhh......all of this is good news.  Yes.....it's hydraulic.  But all that car stuff is a mystery to me.....I just put gas in the car and go.  

Oh good.....so glad that it doesn't freeze.  Didn't think it did since I never heard anybody complain about it or warn about freezing.  

Thanks folks!

One less winter thing to worry about.  Still contemplating the options for keeping the head warm.

I found that last winter (1st winter with tub) here in NJ I would sometimes sweat in the 102º water. But it also wasn't 0º out either.

If you need it try a ski cap or ear muffs. Whatever you do don't wear a coat with a hood! ;)
