STORAGE
In areas that have freezing winter temperatures, pool equipment must be winterized to protect against damage. Allowing
water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void warranty.
1. Backwash the sand filter.
2. Drain the pool according to the pool owner's manual.
3. Unscrew the drain valve cap at the bottom of the tank and release the remaining water.
4. Disconnect the two Hoses from the pool and the sand filter.
5. Completely pour the sand out of the tank and dry all components.
6. Store the sand filter in a dry location out of child's reach.
