Winter preparation
When the summer ends or the bathing season is over, follow these instructions to make the pool ready for
the winter.
Important
If you do not follow the winter preparation advice, it may void your warranty and your pool may
become damaged during the winter.
1. Lower the water level in your pool
Lower the level of water in the pool until there is about 15 cm of water under the return pipe. Alternatively,
install a winter plug (item no. 1519) in the return pipe nozzle, so the water level can be raised to 15 cm below
the skimmer instead. Remove all hoses connected to the skimmer and pump. Make sure that all the water
has come out of the skimmer housing and that there is free passage for any water to run out.
2. Check all joints and screws
Make sure that all mitre joints fit correctly. Check that the pool wall has not shifted from the bottom rail. Make
sure that all screws and bolts are properly screwed in.
3. Make sure that there is no rust
Paint all rusty areas with anti-rust paint.
4. Check the liner
Make sure the top of the liner is securely attached to the pool wall with the plastic edging. Do not remove the
liner from the pool. Removing the liner will invalidate the warranty. Do not remove all the water from the pool.
5. Check for holes
Make sure there are no holes in the liner. Repair any holes with a pool repair kit. Small holes in the winter
can cause major damage to the pool.
6. Pool accessories
Remove all accessories from the pool, including the ladder. Let the in-wall skimmer remain mounted. Make
sure that the skimmer is closed at the top and that the opening at the bottom is open so any remaining water
can run out.
7. Cleaning
Add pool winterising agent to the pool water after physical cleaning, pH adjustment and chlorine shock. It
counteracts the growth of algae and lime deposits in the pool.
8. The filter
Remove the pool hoses from the filter. Empty the sand filter system completely of water and sand and store it
in a frost-free location for the winter.
9. Minimise potential damage from heavy icing
Pool Protectors (item no. 1613) should be placed crosswise on the pool surface. They float by themselves on
the water surface. They absorb any additional pressure from ice formation and thereby reduce frost damage
to the pool liner.
