MAINTENANCE KIT

Please follow the assembly and use instructions that came with the maintenance kit in your pool package.

POOL STORAGE & WINTERIZATION

WARNING: This above-ground pool cannot be winterized. If you live in an area where the temperature drops

below 32°F (0°C), your pool must be drained, disassembled, and stored properly. If you are in a warmer envi-

ronment, please follow the winterizing instructions below.

After seasonal use, you can easily drain and store your pool in a safe and dry location. However, in warmer cli-

mates, some pool owners choose to leave their pool up all year round. If this applies to you, see the directions

below. If you live in colder areas, where freezing temperatures occur, there is a high risk of ice damage to your

pool. Therefore, leaving your above-ground pool set up in areas where the temperature drops below 32 de-

grees Fahrenheit (0°C) will void the pool warranty.

How to Winterize Your Pool

1. Begin by cleaning the pool water thoroughly and adjust the water chemistry as needed.

2. Remove the water intake and return ttings from the inside of the pool (if applicable).

3. Now, remove the ladder (if applicable) and store in a safe place. Ensure the ladder is dry before

storage.

4. Remove the hoses that connect the pump and lter to the pool.

5. 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. NOTE: These may vary greatly by region.

6. Cover pool with a Blue Wave

Products Pool Cover. IMPORTANT: Blue Wave

Products pool

cover is not a safety cover.

7. Clean and drain the pump, lter housing, and hoses. See instructions for winterizing the CottonTail

balls in

your lter manual.

8. Bring pump and lter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area, preferably between 0ºC (32ºF) and

40ºC (104ºF).
