5. Winterisa
ti
on advice
Winterisa
ti
on advice is described below, however, it is
the installer's responsibility to recommend a solu
ti
on
depending on the availability of the customer and the
geographical loca
ti
on of the swimming pool
.
• Carry out active winterisation by operating the
circula
ti
on of the water and
fi
ltering during the coldest
moments of the day (An an
ti
-freeze thermostat can
trigger
fi
ltering as soon as the air temperature falls
below 0°).
• Keep the water level normal, excess water will drain
from the over
fl
ow.
• Clean the slats unrolled over the pool using a high-
pressure cleaner and then sweep the pool and the
storage trench. Treat the water with winterisation
products.
• Keep your cover unrolled over the body of water and,
if it is surrounded by a lot of vegeta
ti
on,
fi
t a ne
tti
ng,
permeable cover over it in order to avoid the decay
of leaves and other plant debris on the PVC slats. Do
not store the cover rolled with an accumula
ti
on of
leaves or debris which would trigger an irremediable
decaying process causing incrusted stains to form on
the PVC slats. This physical phenomenon is not covered
by the guarantee for the slats.
• Protect the skimmers and piping exposed to freezing.
• Protect the motors from
fl
ooding.
• Cut the power supply to the electric box.
• Do not operate the cover or touch the slats when
they are ice bound. If there is a risk of the pool icing
over, have the immersed sha
ft
and the roller motor
removed.
• For models using solar power, the ba
tt
eries can remain
in place if the solar panel is not covered and con
ti
nues
its charging func
ti
on. If the panel is covered and can
no longer charge using sunlight, the ba
tt
eries must be
disconnected and stored in a dry place. When pu
tti
ng
back into service, let the ba
tt
eries charge (a half day of
sunlight) before opera
ti
ng the cover.
