package.
POOL STORAGE & WINTERIZATION
WARNING:
This above-ground pool cannot be winterized. If you live in an area where the temperature drops
below 32°F (0°C), your pool must be drained, disassembled, and stored properly. If you are in a warmer
environment, please follow the winterizing instructions below.
After seasonal use, you can easily drain and store your pool in a safe and dry location. However, in warmer
climates, some pool owners choose to leave their pool up all year round. If this applies to you, see the
directions below. If you live in colder areas, where freezing temperatures occur, there is a high risk of ice
damage to your pool. Therefore, leaving your above-ground pool set up in areas where the temperature drops
below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0°C) will void the pool warranty.
How to Winterize Your Pool
1. Begin by cleaning the pool water thoroughly and adjust the water chemistry as needed.
2. Remove the water intake and return fittings from the inside of the pool (if applicable).
3. Now, remove the ladder (if applicable) and store in a safe place. Ensure the ladder is dry before
storage.
4. Remove the hoses that connect the pump and filter to the pool.
5. 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.
NOTE:
These may vary greatly by region.
6. Cover pool with a Blue Wave
®
Products Pool Cover.
IMPORTANT:
Blue Wave
®
Products pool
cover is not a safety cover.
7. Clean and drain the pump, filter housing, and hoses. See instructions for winterizing the CottonTail
TM
balls in
your filter manual.
8. Bring pump and filter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area, preferably between 0ºC (32ºF) and
40ºC (104ºF).
