E. Unscrew the outside drain cap. T ake the end of your garden hose with the adapter attached and screw it on
the drain valve until it is securely fastened. This action will push the rubber drain plug out into the pool
and allow water to drain immediately through the hose. NOTE: If the water is not draining properl y , step
inside the pool and verify that the inner attached cap of your drain valve is not blocking the flow of wate r .
G. Y ou will notice that an inch or two (5 cm) of residual water will remain in the pool below the level of the
drain plug. This water can be bailed out by hand, can be suctioned out with a wet-vac, or can be soaked up
with rags, towels or a mop.
H. Once you have completed draining the pool, disconnect the hose and hose adapter and reseal the attached
drain plug on the inside of the pool. Save the adapter in a safe place for future use.
STE P 2 – Cleaning and Storing you r Pool :
A. At this point, we strongly recommend scrubbing the pool liner thoroughly with a mild household soap
(such as dishwashing liquid) and a sponge or soft pool brush. Then rinse the pool clean with a strong
blast of water from your garden hose. NOTE: Remove any residual odor coming from the pool bottom by
scrubbing the area gently with a mild household dete r gent or an odor removal product approved for use on
vinyl surfaces/pool liners.
B. T owel-dry the pool thoroughly and then spread out the pool completely to air dry it. NEVER fold or stow
a pool that is not completely dry as this could lead to mold or mildew growth. TIP: Expose the pool to
direct sunlight for several hours to speed the drying process and make it easier to fold for storage.
C. While the pool is air drying, it is a good time to clean and thoroughly dry all the other parts included with
your pool system. IMPO R T AN T : Make sure you remove the used filter cartridge from your filter pump
to prevent mold or mildew from developing inside the pump body during the o f f-season .
D. Carefully fold the pool and wrap it in a ground cloth or other protective tarp. The pool and any accessories
such as the pump, pool cove r , ground cloth, ladde r , hoses, clamps, and hardware should be kept together
and stored indoors, in a warm, dry location.
REMEMBER: It is ESSENTIA L to PROPER L Y store your Steel-Set™ pool and related accessories during the
o f f-season. Aqua Leisure will not be held responsible for pool damage resulting from improper pool storage or
from pools left exposed to the elements.
