Your pool can be easily emptied and stored in a safe place during the winter.
However, many people choose to leave their pool up year round. In areas where freezing
temperatures occur, there is risk of ice damage. It is recommended to drain, disassemble
and store the pool in a safe place when temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
See "How To Drain Your Pool" section.
- Clean pool water thoroughly (If Easy Set Pool make sure the top ring is properly
inflated).
- 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.
- Plug the Inlet and Outlet fitting from the inside of the pool with the plug provided
(sizes 10' and 12'). Close the Inlet and Outlet Plunger Valve (15', 18', and 24').
- Remove the ladder (if applicable) and store in a safe place. Be sure the ladder
is completely dry before storage.
- Remove the hoses that connect the pump and filter to the pool.
- Add appropriate winter chemicals. Consult your local pool dealer as different regions
vary greatly.
- Cover pool with Intex Pool Cover. IMPORTANT: INTEX POOL COVER IS NOT A SAFETY
COVER.
- Clean and drain pump, filter housing and hoses. Remove and discard old filter cartridge
(keep a spare cartridge available for next season).
- Bring pump and filter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area, preferably
heated.
STORING POOL FOR WINTER
- After draining pool, dry pool liner completely (100%). Sprinkle talcum powder on
liner to prevent vinyl from sticking together and to absorb any water you may have
missed.
- Roll pool liner to avoid creases and relocate to storage area. Place it in original
carton if you saved it.
- Keep all small parts together with filter pump, manual, and pool, and then place
in an area that will remain at room temperature throughout the storage season.
