Storage - Intex 18' x 10' (549cm x 305cm) Owner's Manual

Winterizing your Above Ground Pool
Your pool can be easily emptied and stored in a safe place during the
winter. However, many people choose to leave their pool up year
round. In areas where freezing temperatures occur, there is risk of ice
damage. It is recommended to drain, disassemble and store the pool
in a safe place when temperatures drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit
(0 degrees Celsius). See ''How To Drain Your Pool'' section.
1. Clean pool water thoroughly (If Easy Set Pool or Oval Frame Pool make
sure the top ring is properly inflated).
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 fitting 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 filter to the pool.
6. Add appropriate winter chemicals. Consult your local pool dealer as
different regions vary greatly.
7. Cover pool with Intex Pool Cover. IMPORTANT: INTEX POOL COVER IS
NOT A SAFETY COVER.
8. Clean and drain pump, filter housing and hoses. Remove and discard old
filter cartridge (keep a spare cartridge available for next season).
9. Bring pump and filter 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).
