POOL STORAGE & WINTERIZING
This above ground pool cannot be winterized and must be drained, disassembled, and properly stored if you live in an area where the temperature drops
below 32°F (0°C). If you are in a warmer environment, please follow the instructions below.
After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe place (see long term storage above). Some pool owners, in warmer climates however, may
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. Leaving your above
ground pool set up in areas where the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 Celsius) voids the warranty.
Winterizing Your Above Ground Pool
1. Clean the pool water thoroughly.
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.

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.
