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.
