WINTER PREPARATIONS

Winterizing your Above Ground PoolAfter usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe place. You must drain, disassemble and properly store the pool when the temperature drops below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) to prevent ice damage to the pool and related components. Ice damage can result in sudden liner failure or pool collapse. Also see the section ‘’How To Drain Your Pool’’.

Should temperatures in your area not drop below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius), and you choose to leave your pool out, prepare it as follows:
