This is our first year having this pool. I have friends that have it and they say it can be. I cant say for sure.

According to my pool guy, absolutely. BUT, I live in East Texas where the weather doesn't get that cold in the off-season. The user manual suggests that if the temperatures where you live in the winter get down below 41 degrees on a regular basis, then they suggest putting the pull up to avoid damage to the materials. So this depends on where you live. If you live in an area like the one I live in then there are winter conditioners you add to the water before putting your cover on and slipping into non-usage until the next warm season. If you do have to take it down at the end of each season, it might ease your mind to discover that the take down and assembly isn't that bad. Filling the pool is the most time consuming part.

I'm sorry, but this is my first season with my INTEX pool. I live in Central Florida, so I'll be using my pool for another 6 weeks or so. However, I do plan to empty the pool, leaving the ring inflated, then completely dry the inside. I'll fold it to the best of my ability and put it in the shed. It doesn't get that cold here, so it should be OK until Spring. Good luck with your pool!

yes you have to drill,you can use plugs that you put into the ground around your pool so it can be removed in the winter or you can get screws in home depot that is mad to go into cement and you can removed them also in the winter. Hope this helps

Yes we leave ours outside all year. Just tir it down for wind storms. It has no damage from the weather and we have had ours for 2 years.

Yes I leave it up year around. It will sagIn the Middle a little and that is where water will collect and drip. I would think it would Block the sun in the winter making it colder unless positioned like a wall. It would keep the wind out. I hope thatHelps.

In the past yes-but last year a mouse chewed a hole in the pool, so am seriously thinking of leaving it up this year. The book does not recommend it, but I will check on you tube and see if they say anything about it-I will research it soon. It is a total pain to take it down every year-especially if you don't have a safe place to keep it!!!! And the more you take it down, it does NOT get easier to put back up each year :-(

I live in southeastern ohio and this is the first year I've had the pool. Was debating on leaving it up or not. When reading the instructions it does say you can leave it up for winter. Not sure what to do.

We left ours up all year and it did fine. It would have worked better had we put the cover on it. However I decided this spring to just drain it and have the fire department come and fill it. (we just bought the water from local company and gave the department a donation-worked faster than using our hose). During the winter we did put a heat lamp on the pump and covered/insulated it well so it wouldn't freeze. Being a saltwater system probably helped with that.

Hello Liz, Absolutely, We have used it for a full season without ANY issues. Once we charged the pool with the inital dose of salt and chemicals, we had NO problems all year. You can use the timer to cut down on your energy useage as claimed. The water remains Crystal Clear as promised. What a time saver and a quality improvement versus the cartidges, which are next to useless.

Yes. If you follow the included instructions it'll take about a day for the pool to drain, and another day for the pool to dry out. This pool is small enough that one person can set it up and tear it down.

Can I use this to deflates the pool toys so I put them away after summer is over?

You can, but it will not cover all the water area. Debris can fall in and it will not heat up pool as well.

No. It has a flow through design, and I usually run it spring to fall, and clean it out before I store it (so once a year); and that seams to do the trick. This is my third year running them.

We use it on our pool in the summer but leave it outside on a protected deck during the winter. It still works fine.

I'm not sure however I would not recommend this pool. It is really small. I have small grandchildren and they only used it once the entire summer. Sorry!!

We have only had the pool for about three weeks. We won't be taking it down for the winter. I think you will find the answer in the reviews. You should read all of them.
