Long Term Storage - Intex ECO 20110 Owner's Manual

LONG TERM STORAGE & WINTERIZATION
Allowing the water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void the warranty. If anti-freeze
solution is needed, use only propylene glycol. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not
damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may damage
plastic components in the system.
1. Before emptying your pool for long term storage, or relocation, be sure the water is directed
towards an acceptable drain water receptacle away from the house. Check local regulations
for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
2. Switch off the unit, and disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
3. When the pool is empty, disconnect all hoses from pump and plunger valves and remove the
strainers/plunger valves from the pool wall.
4. In a counter clockwise motion unscrew the drain valve cap (9) from the drain valve to
thoroughly drain the tank. The drain valve is located at the bottom of the filter tank.
5. Disassemble the pump motor from the tank base.
6. Leave sand filter pump pieces and hoses outside to thoroughly air dry.
7. Coat the following o-rings and washers with petroleum jelly for long term storage:
• L-shape o-ring (27).
• o-ring A (18).
• Pump hose O-rings (29).
• Strainer valve assembly step washers (30).
• Flat strainer rubber washers (32).
8. Depress the 6-way valve handle and rotate so as to set the pointer on the valve top "N"
position. This allows the water to drain from the valve. Leave the 6-way valve in this inactive
position.
9. It is best to place all dry pieces and pump motor in the original packaging for storage. To avoid
condensation or corrosion problem, do not cover or wrap pump motor with plastic bags.
10. Store the pump motor and accessories in a dry place. The storage's temperature should be
controlled, between 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) and 40 degrees Celsius
(104 degrees Fahrenheit).
