Pool Series & Spa Series Winterization

Winterizing Endless Pools Original Series and WaterWell

1. Turn off power to all pool equipment.
2. Plug the water quality system suction. The procedure for this step is dependent upon the pool model and skimmer.
Pools with Internal Skimmer Filter:
For Endless Pools original series, remove the two screws that secure the skimmer shroud lid to the right side
of the propulsion housing. If present, remove two screws that secure the bottom of the skimmer shroud
to the front base assembly (not all models have these screws). Once screws are removed, position the
skimmer away from the front wall to exposed the flex hose. Remove the flex hose attached to the elbow
that is threaded into the water quality system suction thru-wall fitting and then remove the entire skimmer
assembly. Remove the elbow from the suction thru-wall and plug the fitting with a 1.5" threaded plug with
an o-ring. Store the skimmer assembly for the winter.
For Endless Pools WaterWells, the skimmer assembly will be located in the corner at the front of the pool.
Remove the skimmer shroud lid by removing the screws. With two people, lift the shroud lid and skimmer
housing out of the skimmer shroud. While the assembly is elevated (or resting on the coping), remove the
flex hose attached to the elbow that is threaded into the water quality system suction thru-wall fitting.
Remove the elbow from the suction thru-wall and plug the fitting with a 1.5" threaded plug with an o-ring.
Store the skimmer assembly for the winter.
Pools with External Skimmer Filter:
Remove all components of skimmer/filter. Some models with the external skimmer/filter are equipped
with a secondary suction line that tees to a separate fitting. For Endless Pools original series the fitting will
be behind the shroud (45 degree angled plate on the right side of the propulsion housing). If this condition
exists, remove the shroud by removing the screws. For WaterWells, the fitting will either be on an opposing
wall or above the water quality system return fitting. Plug the secondary suction fitting. The fitting will either
be a VGB fitting with a perforated suction cover held on by two small set screws, or a standard thru-wall
fitting. If the fitting is standard, plug with a 1.5" threaded plug with an o-ring. If it's a VGB fitting, remove
perforated suction cover and plug with #10 rubber expanding winter plug.
3. Remove the eyeball fitting from the water quality system return thru-wall fitting (keep in mind there are three pieces,
all of which must be removed from the return fitting). Plug the return fitting with a 1.5" threaded plug with an o-ring.
4. If the pool contains hydrotherapy jets, the jet suctions must be plugged. Remove the perforated suction covers from
the jet suction fittings. Plug with #10 rubber expanding winter plug. If a standard thru-wall fitting has been used, a
1.5" threaded plug with an o-ring can be used. For Endless Pools original series, the suction(s) will either be behind
the 45 degree shroud on the right side of the propulsion housing or under the rear base assembly.
Remove all jet nozzles taking care not to lose the nylon rings that create a seal around each jet nozzle. Plug all jet
bulkheads with #11 rubber expanding winter plugs. Remove the threaded winterizing plugs located near the front
of the jet pump at the bottom of the pump housing. Partially disconnect unions at the suction and discharge of the
pump. Allow all water to vacate the lines, making sure that potential low spots in the pipe runs are voided of water.
5. Drain the water from pool to a level approximately 6" below the top-most edge of the liner.
