Section 8. Winterizing

8.1

Warm Climate

1. Reduce the number of hours that the pump runs since the cooler
weather decreases the spread of algae and other pollutants.
2. There is no need to superoxidize the pool during cool weather unless
the water becomes cloudy (as may occur after a winter storm). See
cloudy water in Troubleshooting section.
8.2

Cold Climate

1. Check total alkalinity and pH of pool to make sure that they are in
proper balance.
2. Vacuum the pool bottom to remove any debris or other potential
contaminants.
3. Superoxidize the pool with chlorine according to manufacturer's
instructions to clear the water.
4. Add a winter algaecide following manufacturer's instructions.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a winter algaecide with copper in it. This will
void the Jandy warranty.
5. Backwash the filter.
6. Drain part of the pool water. The amount to drain varies from one part
of the country to another. Consult your dealer for advice.
7. Remove the TruGuard cartridge and discard.
8. Place the Winterizing and Pressurizing Cap in the housing and tighten
the locking ring.
9. Winterize the pipes with pool antifreeze following manufacturer's
instructions.
10. Drain the water out of all equipment (pump, filter, etc.).
11. Store all baskets, hoses and cleaning equipment, indoors if possible.
12. Cover the pool with a winter cover.

Section 9. Disposal

After six months of use, discard the TruGuard cartridge in household trash.
Do not save the cartridge for re-use. The cartridge contains mineral media
that is sealed inside. In the unlikely event that a cartridge breaks, remove it
and vacuum out any media introduced into the pool.
