To stop the water from freezing, leave several empty plastic bottles (or balls made of Porexpan) floating on the
water. In case of snow, remove the snow of the cover regularly to avoid additional weight on the cover.
- Check all the nuts and bolts and make sure that all the joints are correctly adjusted. Check that the pool wall has
not come off the lower profiles. Check that the screws are tight.
- Check rusted areas and paint all the scratches or rusted metal using anti-rust primer.
- Check the liner. Check that the upper part of the liner is still joined to the pool wall with plastic copings. DO NOT
remove the pool liner. Removal of the liner
will void the product’s warranty.
- Look for leaks. Check that there are no leaks in the liner. Leaks can cause severe damage to your pool during
the winter.
- Pool accessories. Remove all accessories including the ladder from the pool. Wash the ladder with water and
neutral pH detergent. Wash the rest of the accessories with water and neutral pH detergent.
- Filter. Remove the filter from the pool. Wash the whole filter with water and neutral pH detergent. Read the filter
installation and maintenance manual.
HOW TO EMPTY, DISMANTLE AND STORE YOUR POOL
First check the filter instructions to make sure that your filter has the Option to Empty.
Use the Communicating Vessels Principle: first completely submerge a hose in the pool until it is full of water.
Then cover one end with your finger and take it out of the pool. Water will start to come out. Make sure to keep
the other end of the hose submerged in order to empty the pool.
CAUTION: Take into account the amount of water you are going to empty in order to avoid unnecessary surplus
water on the site. Make sure that the water leaving the pool is properly evacuated. Otherwise the excess of water
could cause damage to people as well as to property.
Always keep in mind the amount of water that will be drained in order to avoid any problems. It is useful to have a
drain close.
After the pool has been emptied of water, dismantle it carefully. In order to avoid any damage, deformation or
tear, dismantle the parts in the inverse order of installation. Check all the components to ensure that they are
perfectly clean and dry before storage.
Prior to storing, wash the liner with water and neutral pH detergent that does not contain any chemical products.
To preserve the liner in optimum conditions and to avoid bad odours and humidity, wipe the liner on both sides
and dry it with a cloth or paper towel.
Make sure the liner is not pierced. Fold it and store it in a separate place. Keep the pool sections and components
in a dry and covered place.
If any of the pool elements are damaged, replace them as soon as possible with original TOI accessories. See
the address at the end of this manual.
