Storage - Intex Easy Set Owner's Manual

WINTER PREPARATIONS
Winterizing your Above Ground Pool
After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe place. You
must drain, disassemble and properly store the pool when the temperature drops
below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) to prevent ice damage to the pool
and related components. Ice damage can result in sudden liner failure or pool
collapse. Also see the section ''How To Drain Your Pool''.
Should temperatures in your area not drop below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees
Celsius), and you choose to leave your pool out, prepare it as follows:
1. Clean the pool water thoroughly. If the type is an Easy Set Pool or an Oval Frame
Pool, make sure that the top ring is properly infl ated.
2. Remove the skimmer (if applicable) or any accessories attached to the threaded
strainer connector. Replace strainer grid if necessary. Be sure all accessories parts are
clean and completely dry before storage.
3. Plug the Inlet and Outlet fi tting from the inside of the pool with the plug provided
(sizes 16' and below). Close the Inlet and Outlet Plunger Valve (sizes 17' and above).
4. Remove the ladder (if applicable) and store in a safe place. Be sure the ladder is
completely dry before storage.
5. Remove the hoses that connect the pump and fi lter to the pool.
6. 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. This can vary greatly by
region.
7. Cover pool with Intex Pool Cover. IMPORTANT NOTE: INTEX POOL COVER IS NOT
A SAFETY COVER.
8. Clean and drain the pump, fi lter housing and hoses. Remove and discard the old fi lter
cartridge. Keep a spare cartridge for the next season.
9. Bring pump and fi lter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area, preferably
between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40
degrees Celsius).
