This document outlines the winterization procedures for various Endless Pools and Spa Series models, ensuring protection against freezing temperatures. Proper winterization is crucial as freeze damage is not covered under warranty. The document emphasizes that while general concepts apply, specific equipment configurations and site conditions may necessitate professional assistance.
The primary function of winterization is to prevent freeze damage to the pool and its components, particularly the PVC plumbing lines and water quality equipment (pump, filter, heater, UV). This is achieved by isolating the water in the pool from the plumbing systems and then thoroughly removing all water from these lines. For outdoor pools, additional steps involve supporting the cover and managing snow/water accumulation to prevent damage.
