Storage
1. Deflate the top ring completely and remove all connecting parts (if there are any).
2. Be sure that the pool and all parts are completely dry before storage. Air dry the liner in the sun until
it is completely dry before folding (see drawing 1). Sprinkle some talcum powder to prevent the vinyl
from sticking together and to absorb any residual moisture.
3. Create a square shape. Starting at one side, fold one-sixth of liner into itself twice. Do the same on
the opposite side (see drawings 2 & 3).
4. Once you have created two opposing folded sides, simply fold one over the other like closing a
book (see drawings 4 & 5).
5. Fold the two long ends to the middle (see drawing 6).
6. Fold one over the other like closing a book, and finally compact the liner (see drawing 7).
7. Store the liner and accessories in a dry, temperature-controlled storage location above 32°F (0°C)
and below 104°F (40°C).
TIP: The original packaging can be used for storage.
Repair
1. Use a mix of liquid dish soap and water in a spray bottle, and spray over suspicious areas. Any leak
will produce bubbles that will pinpoint the location of the leak.
2. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime.
3. Cut a piece of repair patch (included) with a margin of 0.8” (2 cm) larger than the damaged area,
rounding the corners with scissors.
4. Place the patch over the center of the leak, press down firmly, and squeeze out all air bubbles to
the edges. You may want to put a weight on top to keep it in place.
5. Do not inflate for one hour after patching.
NOTE: If the patch does not hold, you can use the patch with silicone- or polyurethane-based glue designed
for repairing camping mats, tents or shoes. Consult your local household/camping supply stores, and follow
the instructions of the glue you’ve chosen.
Winterizing
This above-ground pool cannot be winterized and must be drained, disassembled, and properly stored if you
live in an area where the temperature drops below 32°F (0°C). If you are in a warmer environment, follow the
instructions below.
After usage, you can easily empty and store away your pool in a safe place (see long term storage above).
Some pool owners, in warmer climates however, may choose to leave their pool up all year round. In cold
areas, where freezing temperatures occur, there can be a risk of ice damage to your pool. Leaving your
above-ground pool set up in areas where the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 Celsius)
voids the warranty.
1. Clean the pool water thoroughly.
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. Unplug the Inlet and Outlet fitting from the inside of the pool (if applicable).
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 the appropriate chemicals for the winter period. Consult your local pool dealer as to which
chemicals you should use and how to use them. This can vary greatly by region.
7. Cover pool with Pool Cover.
IMPORTANT: Pool Cover is not a Safety Cover.
8. Clean and drain the pump, filter housing, and hoses. Remove and discard the old filter cartridge.
Keep a spare cartridge for the next season.
9. Bring pump and filter parts indoors and store in a safe and dry area, preferably between 0ºC (32ºF)
and 40ºC (104ºF).
