Long Term Storage - Intex CS20110 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 (7) 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 (12).
• o-ring A (21).
• Pump hose O-rings (27).
• Strainer valve assembly step washers (28).
• Flat strainer rubber washers (30).
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).
