For the winter, do I need to drain the water from the inside ladder and/or should I remove the ladder from my pool?

This is my first winter to own this latter so I can't guarantee it but if your pool doesn't freeze, I don't see a problem leaving it in the pool under water.

This is my first winter with the ladder. I did just remove mine to story under at least partial cover. It doesn't freeze where I am, but I don't think freezing would be a problem as there would be room for the water to expand in the ladder without harming it.

We are in North/Central MA, so we removed as much of the water as we could and are storing the ladder in the garage. EVERYTHING freezes here!

Hi, Tracy. We live where it freezes and snows all winter, so, no, we do not leave it out then. If it were drained, it might be okay, but it is portable enough for my husband to carry it to the basement for winter storage. This is our second summer using this pump and it is still pumping strong.

not necessarily. you should be able to buy winterizing chemicals or even a kit at your local pool supply retailer. just unhook the pump, and plug the inlet and outlet.

I take it out when it when there is a hard freeze. The water in the pump could freeze and crack the case. I put it back into the pool in the spring .It also could freeze onto the cover and tear the cover during the thawing and refreezing of late winter.

Yes you can leave the pump out all winter. It automatically starts & stops every couple of minutes and this keeps the water from freezing in the pump or in the purge hose.

I placed mine in my pool house and vented it to the outside along with the drain hose. Not sure if it definitely needs it but I felt better by venting the unit.

Have a pool that fits the run on ladder left up and pull down you also will have to release each individual section. Hope you understood and I explained it. I really like my ladder it is so Convenient!!!

take top off filter clean fingers and rinse out filter leave filter drain open, i usually re-assemble loosely untill spring start up. leave no water in filter, i live where filter stays outside all winter long and is exposed to snow and freezing temperatures. i also cover it with a tarp for added protection, it will be fine for spring start up.

This is a tankless water heater and it is below my kitchen sink. That being said I have not seen at anytime time any residue water that would require drainage. I believe how this tank works is that as the cold water passes through the piping it is heated and any water residue would not be in the tank itself but along the pipe lines.

Not without some significant McGyvering. I would recommend you keep using the filters until a part fails or you see the salt water system or sand filter pump on sale somewhere. In the mean time, as long as you clean the pool before putting it away for the winter, the salt water system is much better than harmful chemicals...

You still need the pipes from your pool and the shut offs, assuming your pool is above ground. All else is there.

I just use regular tap water out of the faucet. I only fill it for a few days when we need it. It doesn't have a pump or anything so it's a drain and fill pool.

If you dug 12 inches down for the pool, making the inside lower than the outside, than you should dig down on the outside of the pool also. You can bury the first rung or so into the ground on the outside. This would also probably help to stabilize the ladder.

You do not need to lower water for a bulb replacement, which is accessible from outside the pool. If you need to replace the entire unit, then yes, the water level need to be dropped.

Ours only gets taken out of the pool when people want to swim so it doesn't get swamped and risk it sinking or to clean it about once or twice a week. We'll also take it out when we close the pool for winter but it will be covered then.

Mine is above ground. I thought about building a deck around it but the drain on this pool is toward the bottom so putting it in ground or building a deck around would require a hose attached and fed out somewhere for better drainage so that you can clean it. Even at that, I normally dump out about an inch of water that doesn't drain and being in ground would make that difficult. I love the pool and someday I may figure something out but I like to clean mine regularly and so far I have not found a way to incase it in anything that would still allow me to clean it well.
