My Pool Perfect was left in our out building last winter and we did get a freeze. Is it still good to use this year?

i am not sure what to tell you on this one. i would phone the company and ask them what they think. on each of my bottles there is a phone # 1-800-753-1233. i know i would use it. i do not think a freeze would hurt the perfect phos free. hope this helps you.

I'm no chemist, so here is my unscientific answer: Yes, I'm sure it's fine. You know how you have to shake up the contents, anyway...I actually leave the bottle lying on it's side, on top of my bucket of chlorine tablets, each week, so that the sediment collects itself on the large side of the bottle rather than the smaller bottom...I'm just superstitious about shaking it up so that I get the same concentration of active ingredients each week I use it. A bottle lasts so long in my small pool! Best of luck. We're year round in California so we're going strong, and no freezing either. :-)

I'm no expert but I ordered three bottles and they went through the freeze and work fine now..... Bud

We are on our second year with this hose in MS so we only have a few weeks of freezing. Plug it in in Nov and remove in Feb. Never any problems.

Good question. I used the previous Tetra Clearifier year around including in below zero weather without a problem. I will be using this one year around as the circulation keeps the water from freezing.

Be glad that the moror is still working. This pump works fine and will have your pool working as it should. We had a leak in the pump last year and my husband tried sealing it. Held for one season but then I guess the frigid NY winter caused the seal to deteriorate. Ordered this pump and now it works great! Very easy to install. Good luck.

We live in ks so winter's are cold and Icy and some snow. We have kept ours up and seems to be in good shape. My husband built a deck on one side and it makes getting in and out much easier. He took one side of the ladder and the full top part and drilled holes in the top of the deck to secure the top part of ladder and then the ladder part sites in the pool. It's great. As far as the deck helping with Maintenance it doesn't help or hinder

This is my first year... I will find out in a few weeks when I take this pool down... But If it smells bad, I will try to clean it... Or leave it out side thru the winter...

Good question, because it's difficult to know. Last year I didn't realize mine was not working until it was too late and the pond had frozen solid, locking the heater in. I didn't replace it and this season am using a small pump instead to maintain an open area in my pond's surface. Good luck!

If it's an outdoor pool it is perfect, especially when there's a breeze. Indoor pool you may get too warm.

This will be our 3rd summer with the pool and we have left it up year round. The first year, we drained it, and last year we didn't. I have had no issues with the exterior walls even with the unexpected snow and ice we had this winter in Louisiana!

Our pool is around the same volume. It worked in the winter to about 86 degrees. We had it set higher but it got to 86 and stayed around there. Our pool is outside in the shade with little sunlight. It is deeper than yours but different dimensions. Being inside I am sure you can achieve your desired temp of 85.

we have a 24ft pool and dont drain it for winter. When we open it we always get our pool water tested at the pool place using bio gaurd products. it was really green, this year we had to add 160lb salt, fixed the low salt problem and now we add 4oz of 60% algacide every other week. has been great all summer. also by getting it tested it insures that your pool is balanced correctly. hope this helps

absolutely! We live in AZ and the winter is the reason we bought it. Our temps have been dropping into the 40's at night and, by mid afternoon the pool is still warm enough to enjoy.

The water around it and looking through the center are not frozen. It thaws just enough water so the unit can still move around a little. The unit kept a hole in the ice all winter in Michigan and that's all you need to let the gasses escape.

I packed up the pump and stored it indoors for the winter. The freezing and thawing will not be good for the unit.

I have not used in freezing temperatures. Heated waterer is best, they have one similar to this. This is the best waterer for regular use.

I used the pool for a couple of months last year, saw no problems with the frame. No corrosion, nothing. Lots of water splashed out of the pool by the kids still no damage detected when I took the pool down for the winter.

n always drain mine and stow it for two reasons: I don't know whether it would freeze all the way through and expand enough to burst the pool, but the top opening is smaller than the body of the pool. And, the pool will become absolutely filthy and a harder job to clean than a new setup would be. If you live in an area that really doesn't freeze, I guess it would be fine. I noticed that my pool is stretched out a little more each year that I use it and becomes a little shorter as it stretches outward. I assume that would accelerate if you left the water in year round.
