WINTER PREPARATIONS
Winterizing your Above Ground Pool
After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe
place. Some
pool owners, however, choose to leave their pool up all
year round. In cold areas, where freezing temperatures occur, there
can be a risk of ice damage to your
pool. We therefore recommend you
drain , disassemble and properly store the pool , when the temperature
drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). Also see the
section ''How To Drain Your Pool''.
Should you choose to leave your pool out, prepare it as follows:
1. Clean the pool water thoroughly. If the type is an Easy Set Pool or an
Oval Frame Pool, make sure that the top ring is properly inflated.
2. Remove the skimmer (if applicable) or any accessories attached to the
threaded strainer connector. Replace strainer grid if necessary. Be sure
all accessories parts are clean and completely dry before storage.
3. Plug the Inlet and Outlet fitting from the inside of the pool with the plug
provided (sizes 16' and below). Close the Inlet and Outlet Plunger Valve
(sizes 17' and above).
4. Remove the ladder (if applicable) and store in a safe place. Be sure the
ladder is completely dry before storage.
5. Remove the hoses that connect the pump and filter to the pool.
6. Add the appropriate chemicals for the winter period. Consult your local
pool dealer as to which chemicals you should use and how to use them.
This can vary greatly
by region.
7. Cover pool with Intex Pool Cover. IMPORTANT NOTE: INTEX POOL
COVER IS NOT A SAFETY COVER.
8. Clean and drain the pump, filter housing and hoses. Remove and discard
the old filter cartridge. Keep a spare cartridge for the next season.
9. Bring pump and filter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area,
preferably between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104
degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
