 Winterizing Your Pool
1.) Bring in a Water Sample for testing so your pool water will be balanced prior to closing. Pool water that is out of balance can be very hard on surfaces and equipment over the winter and inhibits the effectiveness of the winterizing shock and algaecides.
2.) Brush and vacuum your pool. Your pool must be clean and clear of debris and algae. Clean the waterline with Off The Wall®. Any waterline stains left will be harder to remove in the spring.
3.) The water temperature should fall below 55° before closing your pool. Keep the equipment running if the outside temperature drops below 40°F to prevent freeze damage.
4.) Remove any deck equipment; ladder, rails, diving board, etc.
5.) Chemically clean the filter with Strip Kwik® or Kleen It®. Cleaning the filter before the winter helps ensures that grease and build-up are removed from the filter medium and don't become firmly stuck on over the winter.
6.) Add Winterizing Chemicals:
For Chlorine Pools: If you are using the Winterizing Kit, Add Arctic Blue® Shock, followed by Arctic Blue Algae Protector. Use both products according to label instructions. Add 1 gallon of Liquid Chlorine per 5,000 gallons of pool water.
For Soft Swim Pools: Add an initial dose of SoftSwim A (1 quart per 25,000 gallons of water). Add SoftSwim C (1 gallon per 10,000 gallons). Wait 3 hours. Add SoftSwim B to top up to 50 ppm. For Baquacil Pools: Shock with Baqua Shock at rate of 1 gallon per 10,000 gallons of pool water - top off
Baquacil to 50 ppm and add CDX per label directions.
7.) Run the filter continuously for 24-48 hours.
8.) Lower the pool water level. For Aboveground pools: Lower water to 6" below the return fitting. Inground pools: Lower water 14" below normal operating level, or 12" below skimmer.
9.) Winterize your pool equipment according to manufacturer's directions
10.) Remove solar cover and protect during the winter by cleaning with Stow-Away.
11.) Leaves can cause staining. If you have a lot of trees in your yard, cover the pool with a winter cover. Do not install the winter cover before the pool is winterized.
Vinyl Liner Pool Owners: Make sure your pool does not leak! Check liner patches. Leaking can cause severe damage, which is not covered under warranty.
Air pillow or rubber inner tubes of can be installed underneath the cover to prevent extra strain on the cover.
