Winterizing the Pool
Preperations
- Balance Pool Chemicals
- Vacuum and Clean
- Add wintering chemicals
With the pool circulating add the following chemicals 15 minutes apart around the edge of the pool:
Continue to circulate water for 24 hours after adding chemicals.
Tasks
- Set heater to off.
- Turn power off.
- Drop water level below returns by about an inch or so using sump pump (about 5 hours).
- Depressurize system by releasing air from top of filter.
- Remove pump drain plug and disconnect pump.
- Drain cartridge filter and remove pleated filters. Force air though output through heater.
- Remove drain plug from heater.
- Disconnect and remove salt cell.
- Force air through returns lines using a shop vac. Plug one return using plugs to force water out other line and then repeat with the other line.
- Force air through intake(skimmer) line and attach "gizmo". Vacuum skimmer if needed.
- Add antifreeze to return lines and plug.
- Add antifreeze to skimmer and intake line.
- Open top of heater and turn gas off
- Turn off gas using external shutoff
