Wow I have the same pool, and read the owners manual. As soon I read the section for winterizing and found out it was not to be out below 40 degrees. I was discouraged. Lol Thanks for the video, im going to leave it out this winter, I live in Wisconsin. Question for you.. No tarp, plastic wrap or chemicals in yours?
That’s awesome! I have the one with no frame and took it down this winter. Southeastern Massachusetts right in the armpit! I’m getting ready to put it back up and thought I’d see some peoples experience with keeping it up all winter. What’s your thoughts on the frameless one? It’s 16’x48” thanks! Great video
I have a Summer Waves 52"x26', I would never attempt taking down that pool it's too large. Ours has been up 3 years also. Ours does, however have rust on it. Yours looks new, mine does not... 😆. We live in Southern Indiana.
I'm getting un upgrade to a steel frame. I wont ne taking it down but I won't keep it filled to the top just enough water to withstand any string winds blown it away .
I do not use chemicals when I close just shock it when I open. It hasn't been getting as cold as it has in the past but this year we did get below 0 degrees for about a week.
Hmmm and you don't cover it? I covered mine. There are trees all around me, so I think I need it. Ours rusted a bit at the top joints and on the ladder. We sprayed silicone on it before storing for winter in our basement.
Hey there fellow Michigander! I’m assuming this is not salt water? Do you have pea stone all under to pool or did you use something under the footers with the pea stone above it?
So sorry for the late reply. I haven't gotten on my channel for a bit. I deg all the grass and dirt our a few inches down and then brought in some clean washed sand under that. I then had some critters get under her so I then put pea gravel around the outside and worked like a champ.
When you take them down and put them back up hole appears in the folds .. then the wife blames you for the holes.. trust me I know .. if you could use plastic bags to make ice with out getting holes … the best thing to do is to leave this pool out in the elements..
True the stock filter that comes with it is a joke. Thanks for the video
Thank you for all this information and what a great attitude you have, just had to say that. 😊
Wow

What did you put in the intake holes... i see you drained below outake but i have no idea what to put in the intake for winter thanks
Do you have a video of you closing the pool or step by step directions? I'm in SW Michigan myself
So you didn’t use any chemicals to winterize it? I’m asking because I have one similar to yours and winter slowly coming up

Hi looks great! Did you add any chemicals before closing it? And what is the lowest your winters go? Thanks.
I do not use chemicals when I close just shock it when I open. It hasn't been getting as cold as it has in the past but this year we did get below 0 degrees for about a week.
what's the lowest temp does it go

Probably depends on the model and the area you live in.
Is the pea rock under the pool?
No, sand, just on the edge to deter critters from digging under her. Works great.
Does it freeze all the way to the bottom? A bit worried about ice expanding and ripping the liner. Or is it elastic enough?
I'm not sure if it freezes all the way to the bottom or not but I have never had an issue.
I think people with the regular frame have the rust issues. The XTR is way better.
Chances are there is no rust because you are not using salt for the pool. The salt is the number one item that would rust the pool.
I do not use Salt.
How is it now?
Still great. Just went out and checked it yesterday and it is ready for another summer! 5 or 6 years now.

Couldn't have that pool here in oklahoma without a locked gated fence
I wAs about to call you a liar until your son vetted your story.
