APPENDIXA-1 OFF SEASON PROTECTIONAt the close of the bathing season:A. The pool equipment should be cleaned and properly stored.B. The filters should be thoroughly washed and drained so that they will be in a cleancondition during the off season.C. Shut off the water supply and drain all lines and plumbingD. Drain the chemical feeders, hair strainer, and pumps.E. Store pool ladders and diving boards in a sheltered place. Diving boards should bestored on edge to prevent warping.F. The electrical service should be cut off and all fuses removed or circuit breakersopened.Freezing of ground water surrounding the pool is a main consideration for winter protection.Some authorities maintain that a pool properly constructed and under-drained may be safelyleft empty over the winter months. Others feel that it is better to keep the pool full of waterrather than run the risk of structural cracking resulting from leaving the pool empty. Manyauthorities recommend that the pool be kept filled with water to a level of about 18 inchesbelow the scum gutter throughout the frost period. Thus, the pressure of the water in the poolwould tend to offset the pressure against the sides and bottom. It is desirable in such casesthat logs or poles be placed in the water along the sides of the pool to absorb some of thepressure developed by the expanding ice.If the pool is to remain partially filled for winter, it is recommended that chlorine be added tothe water to prevent the growth of algae. If the water is to be used for the following season,addition of chlorine in the fall and spring to eliminate alga problems will make pool start-upmuch easier.33
