Here's what you need to do at season end:

Step 1: Remove all ladders, and other equipment to prevent corrosion.

Step 2: Thoroughly clean and brush. Run pump and filter continuously for 24 hours.

Step 3: Test all water factors and balance if necessary. Lower the temperature reading on the software to the anticipated average water temperature during the winter. Follow recommendations EXCEPT FOR CHLORINE ADDITIONS.

Step 4: Triple shock water to 30 PPM with Sodium Hypochlorite Liquid Chlorine (Click on Triple Shock)

Step 5: Drain water from all pump, filter equipment and plumbing which may be harmed in a freeze.

Step 6: If ice will be a problem, drop several weighted closed plastic jugs into the water. You can also use large strips of Styrofoam. This will absorb some of the expansion from the ice.

Step 7: Cover if you have one.
