I don't think there would be any risk of pipes freezing in normal operation since they would have 80 degree water running through them all the time. The only risk would be a pump failure during very cold weather. Consider running two pumps to minimize that risk. Backup power supply might also be a good idea since power failures always happen when it is cold!
