CLOSING YOUR ABOVE GROUND POOL FOR THE WINTER
At the end of the season, you must follow these directions to make your pool ready for the winter. For areas
where water freezes make sure to follow these instructions before the water is frozen, otherwise do not touch
the frozen water, this may damage the pool.
STEP 1)
PRIOR TO CLOSING
a. Several days prior to closing your pool, test the water for the ph level, total alkalinity, and chloring. The water balance is
important to protect the pool from corrosion or scale build-up during winter shut down.
STEP 2)
PERFORM A COMPLETE INSPECTION
FINDING LEAKS
a. Towards the end of the summer season or around mid-August, check for leaks by verifying if the pool’s water level is
stable. Draw a line on the liner marking the water level and wait 10 days. If after 10 days the level has dropped, then there
is a leak. It is important to seal off any leaks you find. Leaks left unsealed when freezing begins can seriously damage your
pool and even cause it to collapse.
b. Vacuum carefully to remove all leaves and debris.
CHECK THE LINER
a. Make sure the top of the liner is still attached to the pool wall. make sure there are no leaks. Repair any liner holes with a
vinyl patch: any small punctures in the liner can be easily repaired with underwater repair kits available at your local retailer.
Do not remove the liner from the pool, as removal of the liner will void the existing warranty.
CHECK ALL JOINTS AND SCREWS
a. Make sure all the fram joints are fitting together properly and make sure the pool wall has not shifted from the bottom rail.
Ensure all screws and bolts are tight.
CHECK FOR RUST
a. Periodically inspect the metal parts ofr any corrosion-especially around the skimmer area. If corrosion is found, immediate
corrective action must be taken. Wire brush any rust and add a coat of enamel primer followed by a coat of color matching
anti-rust enamel paint. Pool structure failure could result in major property damage and bodily harm. Paint any scratches
with anti-rust paint.
