according to the instructions.
d. Look at all painted metal parts for scrapes or
scratches. Sand and paint these.
e. Check the gaskets on all thru-the-wall fittings for
leakage or deterioration. These gaskets may need
to be replaced.
f. Cover your pool with a winter cover to inhibit
drownings and assist in pool maintenance. Use
flotation pillows to raise the cover at the center to
help drain off water, and keep leaves and other
debris from gathering. (Cover must be tamper proof
and meet CPSC Standard ES13.)
Never allow
children to walk or play on pool cover.
Entrapment or drowning may occur!
Your pool has a “winterized” liner which means you should never have to take the pool down or
drain it. To get your pool ready for winter follow each of these important steps:
a. Vacuum and clean the pool. Remove and clean the
filter system. Remove ladders and all movable
objects from the pool area.
b. Add chemicals according to manufacturer’s
recommendations for winterizing your pool. During
cold months and with the pool covered, chemicals
will last much longer than in summer and will give
you winter long protection against algae and bacteria
buildup.
c. Lower the level of water 6" below the bottom of the
thru-the-wall skimmer. Put winterizing cap (available
from Customer Service) into thru-the-wall return
fitting then install winter plate on skimmer. Check
and readjust this level after any heavy precipitation.
Remove filter and accessories excluding fittings
which are attached to the pool, and store filter
c. Super Chlorinate immediately.
d. Vacuum the pool.
e. Test the water for pH balance.
If you don’t use a floating chemical dispenser or chlorine
feeder, you must thoroughly dissolve the chemicals.
This must be done outside the pool before you use
them. Then pour slowly into the water as you walk
around the pool. If chemicals are not dissolved first they
can cloud the water. They can also shorten the filter
cycle and damage the liner. The right pH and chlorine
content are very important. Follow chemical
manufacturer’s instructions for proper use of pool
chemicals.
Keep the filter running when adding chemicals.
The only way to clean your pool is by filtering and
using chemicals, NOT by draining your pool and
filling it again. Draining your pool completely may
result in liner shrinkage.
Wax your pool - Your pool is exposed to corrosive
conditions. Help preserve the finish by waxing the
metal parts with a good automotive wax at least twice
a year.
Periodically check wall at skimmer/return to make
sure there are no leaks.
NOTE: The chemicals added to your pool is for
sanitizing the water in your pool. The filter is used for
cleaning the water in your pool.
Check the metal parts periodically for rust spots. If touch-up is required:
a. Scrape any loose, flaking paint.
b. Wipe any bare metal with tirpolene or mineral
spirits.
