When closing your pool for the winter completely drain the water
from the Phantom Cleaner (by slowing rotating it in all directions)
and Hoses. Store the Phantom Cleaner indoors to prevent
freezing of the inner mechanisms.

If you are in an area subject to periodic freezing conditions, but
pool equipment is kept in operation, it is very important that the
filtration system and Phantom cleaner be in operation during
times when hard freezing occurs (normally between 3 AM and
7AM). Running the Phantom cleaner at this time will ensure
against damaging the Cleaner and may prevent freezing the
pool water.
