How to close your Intex Frame Pool for the Winter. Step by Step tutorial.

This is an updated more detailed version on how I close my Intex pool for the winter. Note that you can skip the clips at the end if you are worried about the cover ripping over the winter, but then you'll just have to drain the water off of the cover in the spring. You can find the cover and parts I used below.

Great video. I been tearing down my fitmax pool for the winter. Now I am old. Not doing set uo again. I thought keeping ph right would keep algae from growing?

I was told to drain below both outlets, and remove my plunger valves, for winter, because other people had theirs freeze and crack! Mine is an 18 x 48, so I’ve been doing that, out of fear of them cracking. My small intex blowup pool that I use to have, It came with plugs, , I never drained it, just removed the hoses, and put the pump away, i did that for at least 6 years with it, now I have this bigger one. (Grandkids got bigger) there are no plugs , so I lower the water?? It’s what I was told?

You could drain below the valve and remove them if you are afraid they’ll crack. You’ll just have more water to drain off the cover in the spring. To me a pair of plunger valves are about $13 on Amazon and I’d rather have less water to drain off the top in the spring then deal with replacing the parts later on the small chance they do crack.

Did you just add your mulch right over the foam board ? I’m debating how to do this. We did the foam board like you did with pavers level to the foam board. I want to add rock or something around the pool but don’t want to remove the foam between each leg. Did you cut more foam out or just lay it on top and then around the legs ?

I just covered everything with mulch.

Do you have a video from around around 55 seconds where you clean the pool with that black thing? Never thougt about that. I only used the net to clean the pool.

Your Snap clips. You sure they are for 1/2 PVC pipe? That seems a little small for an intex pool frame.

I believe they are 1.5” clips.

I didn't know you can leave an intex out for the winter. I just ordered a 12x30 and im curious to know if i can do this or just disassemble it after the summer.

@@nycbuzz22 I have left mine out for the last 2 winters with water in it and haven’t had any issues.

How low did you drain the pool. We get heavy snow here so the lack might be good I’m guessing. First time leaving mine up. I’m in chicago.

@Type5Reviews 9 ай бұрын

Since I put valves on the inlets and outlets and can close those holes I kept my pool full with about 1 square on the liner showing. And the clips really aren’t necessary. Just leave a bit of slack in the top cover so that any snow or water that collects won’t stretch the cover to the point of tearing, then you can use a hose to siphon off the water from the top of the cover in the spring. I’m in northwest Indiana near Chicago and left mine up all last winter with no issues.

So the plunger valves did not freeze and crack? I just put the black stoppers in my 2 inlets, I am worrying about the discharge plunger/aerator freezing and cracking in WNY.

@Type5Reviews 8 ай бұрын

There is always the possibility that the plunger valves could crack. You could take them off and use the black stoppers if you’d like. I’m leaving mine on and then if they are cracked in the spring I’ll pick up 2 new ones on Amazon for $10 each. amzn.to/3QrmFEx
