STORAGE
WINTER PREPARATIONS
Winterizing your Above Ground Pool
After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe
place. You must drain, disassemble and properly store the pool
when the temperature drops below 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees
Celsius) to prevent ice damage to the pool and related components.
Ice damage can result in sudden liner failure or pool collapse. Also
see the section “How To Drain Your Pool’’.
Should temperatures in your area not drop below 41 degrees
Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius), and you choose to leave your pool out,
prepare it as follows:
