WINTERISING & PUMP DISASSEMBLY
16
An actively winterised pool continues to operate at a slower than normal
rate throughout wintertime.
This is the recommended winterising procedure in less cold regions. If you
live in a harsher winter climate, you should choose to passively winterise
your pool instead.
• First clean the pool structure, the water line, basket and cartridge.
• Next, shock the pool with chlorine.
• Run the filtration system non-stop for at least 12 hours.
• Then reset your timer to run the filtration system for 30 minutes
every 3 hours (do not be afraid to increase the running time if the
temperature is significantly below zero).
• Your pool will not require any more product treatments for the
whole winter. Just monitor the water’s pH level and adjust if
necessary.
• Check and clean the basket and cartridge at regular intervals.
• We also recommend that you use winter floats in your pool.
• You can also cover your pool with a winter cover or tarp although
this is not mandatory.
Passive winterising involves shutting down the filtration unit entirely.
• First clean the whole of the pool and its equipment
(floor and walls, water line, baskets, cartridges, etc).
• Check the water’s pH level and adjust if necessary.
• Shock the pool with a chlorine treatment.
• Run the filtration system non-stop for at least 12 hours.
• Protect the filtration system from frost.
