Winterizing Your Pool

Use these steps as a guide. Consult your dealer for specific information in
your area.
Warm Climate
1 Reduce the number of hours the pump runs since the cooler weather
decreases the spread of algae and other pollutants.
2 There is no need to superoxidize the pool during cool weather unless
the water becomes cloudy (as may occur after a winter storm). See
Cloudy Water in Troubleshooting section.
Cold Climate
1 Check total alkalinity and pH of pool to make sure that they are in
proper balance.
2 Vacuum the pool bottom to remove any debris or other potential
contaminants.
3 Superoxidize the pool with chlorine according to manufacturer's
instructions to clear the water.
4 Add a winter algaecide following manufacturer's instructions.
Important: Do not use a winter algaecide with copper in it.
5 Backwash the filter.
6 Drain part of the pool water. The amount to drain varies from one part
of the country to another. Consult your dealer for advice.
7 Remove the TruGuard cartridge and discard with household trash.
8 Winterize the pipes with pool antifreeze following manufacturer's
instructions.
9 Drain the water out of all equipment (pump, filter, etc.).
10 Store all baskets, hoses and cleaning equipment, indoors if possible.
11 Cover the pool with a winter cover.
Disposal
After six (6) months of use, discard cartridge in household trash. Do not
save the cartridge for re-use. The cartridge is manufactured with the mineral
media sealed inside. In the unlikely event that a cartridge breaks, remove it
and vacuum out any media introduced into the pool.
