Above Ground Pool Removal

Draining the Water

• Before removal, drain the water properly. If assembled correctly, you should have positioned your drain towards the preferred draining area -- often towards the street drain. This avoids placing large amounts of water in the middle of your yard. Before draining always contact your local city office for information on pool draining instructions and restrictions.

Following the Manufacturer's Directions

• Pull out the pool manufacturer's directions before removing an above ground pool. Taking down the pool is usually as simple as reversing the assembly directions. Refer to the assembly directions to understand how each part fits together to prevent damaging the pool. Most parts snap together on these types of pools, but some parts may require the use of a screwdriver to loosen the screws.

Sealing the Pool and Parts

• To protect pool parts and the pool during storage, close and seal off any openings. Close the tops of any accessories such as the filter pump. Insert plugs into any of the openings including the drain valve and any inlet or outlet valves, where the hoses connect into the pool.

Storage

• To protect the pool and the accessories from molding during storage, set each piece out flat in the sun for several hours until they are completely dry. Keep any small parts, such as screws, together in a ziplock bag or container. Store the pool and all the accessories in its original packaging or another container. Place it in a dry, clean area.
