How to Drain Your Pool and Long Term Storage
1. Check local regulations for specific directions regarding disposal of swimming pool water.
2. Make sure the drain plug inside the pool is plugged in place.
3. Twist off the cap of the drain valve on the outside of the pool.
4. Attach a 5/8" garden hose to the drain valve.
5. Place the other end of the garden hose in an area where the water can be safely drained away from the house and other nearby structures.
6. Unplug the inner cap of the drain plug to start draining the pool.
7. When the water stops draining, start lifting the pool from the side opposite to the drain valve to drain any remaining water and empty the pool completely.
8. Replace the drain cap on outside of pool.
9. Completely deflate the top ring, and remove all connecting parts. (if you have one)
10. Be sure that the pool and all parts are completely dry before storage. Air dry the liner in the sun until completely dry before folding (see drawing 1). Sprinkle
some talcum powder to prevent the vinyl from sticking together and to absorb any residual moisture.
11. Create a square shape. Starting at one side, fold one-sixth of liner into itself twice. Do the same on the opposite side (see drawings 2 & 3).
12. Once you have created two opposing folded sides, simply fold one over the other like closing a book (see drawings 4 & 5).
13. Fold the two long ends to the middle (see drawing 6).
14. Fold one over the other like closing a book, and finally compact the liner (see drawing 7).
15. Store the liner and accessories in a dry, temperature-controlled storage location above 32°F (0°C) and below 104°F (40°C).
16. The original packing can be used for storage.
