Pool Winterization

Important Winterization Rules
Although there are many different techniques one can utilize to winterize a pool, it is important that regardless of whatever method you or your pool professional chooses that you include the following few simple rules:

• Never drain your pool below the skimmer opening.
• Never let your pool overflow.
• Remove the pool water from all equipment and all plumbing pipes that are at or above the frost line.
• Do not remove water from a pool cover without simultaneously adding the same amount of water to the pool.

Myths About Winterization

• Your pool needs to be drained down 2’ to be winterized correctly.
• You cannot remove the water from plumbing pipe without draining your pool.
• Draining your pool below the inlets also drains the pipes.
• It’s OK to let the pool overflow.
