we bought a 24 round pool , and we are in NH...do you take the pool down every year?

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 :-(

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 live in Madison Wi, and I do take it down each year. I also ditched the cartridge filter for a sand filter. Cleaning is soooooo much easier.

Hi, it is my first year, I plan to take it down over winter, but not sure yet.Technically there is no need to do so. But I might want to move it in another place anyhow.

You can actually leave them up my husband and I drain it to about half full and then leave it.

We keep ours in the pool 24/7, no problem. The new model seems to get clogged a lot easier with leaves and acorns than the older one we replaced.

The pool is fine. Mine is sitting empty because no one will come out and work on them. I'm told they only want to work on inground pools. So if you can do it yourself, you'll be fine.

My pool is 25,000 +/- and is in the Northeast. I can raise the temp about a degree an hour and yes it can be installed outside and the fellow who did mine said do not cover it in the off season.

I live in Florida so we keep it up and filled. We just put a cover on it through the cooler months. However, when we lived in Maine, we would take it down during the cold months.

We have a 24 foot pool and used it last year with no problem. Put them away for the winter and plan on using them again. Liked them so much I suggested that my local pool supply place should carry them.

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!

We live in central Ohio. I set the pool up in April and take it down late September. While it might hold up thru a winter it would likely take a butt load (that's appox 480 L) of chemicals to clean the water in the spring. Compare that to about $50 for fresh water to fill it. I generally spend less than $30 a year on pool chemicals. I also built a deck on one side so we can sit and enjoy seeing in to the pool. It's no help in cleaning. In fact it sort of gets in the way. I also have an over sized ABS plastic ladder and don't trust the index ladder to hold up well. I aho also say while it takes aday to set up, it takes about three sunny days to take down and its a two person job. However I only use my wife or kids for about 30 minutes each time

Very easy....just let the water out. I have had two, my grandsons tend to puncture with trucks...even though the rule is no trucks in the pool, but its at the end of the season and I just empty and toss it. I'm getting another for this coming summer. Make sure the one you order has the filter with it. Not all of them do.

Yes water the Jade - NOT every other day as the generic tag states. The pool is more a reflection pond not a watering reservoir.

Before you use the pool, you remove the alarm. If installed correctly, (easy to follow instructions included) simply lift off the edge of pool and use magnetic key to touch the face of alarm to shut off. Then store the alarm as instructions state until time to install again. These are touchy if not installed correctly and in the right place of your pool. Follow the guide with instructions based on size and shape of your pool and you should be fine. windy days can cause alarm to go off. We tried 3 alarms before finding this one and by far, this one works best. Good luck

The pool is not designed nor intended to be left up year round in winter conditions. I live in Chicago and take it down in Sept/Oct and put it back up around May. If you leave it up, the pool (liner and poles) are likely to prematurely wear and may even rip due to the expansion/contraction of freezing. Good luck.

We've left it running for 48 hours during some pretty bad storms and it was fine. I don't know if I'd want to try to empty a 20,000 gallon pool... :)

I have an above ground 24' round. My property slants to an 18" drop so the pool didn't need to be fenced all around. I used 5 sections of the fence for the area that wasn't 48" high from the ground. It wasn't hard to put up but you needed 2 people who are familiar with tools.

Have you ever gotten an answer to this question? I'm also curious. Not looking forward to taking it down, and have had lots of people say the liner gets pinholes when stored. Am considering pool antifreeze? and putting a couple of floating things to help stop from freezing solid.

To the best of my knowledge it can be us on any above ground pool. We love it, maybe a bag of salt once a year and thats all we do. Saves so much money

Yes you run the pump as your normal schedule. It's not bad to take off, but without a reel you need two people to keep it orderly. But then what do you do with it? One friend of mine piles it up in layers at the end of his rather large indoor pool. Outside winds will catch it and blow it around once it's off the water. I found the reel a wonderful help.
