Closing Procedures

To make opening as easy as possible in the spring, it is recommended that you close your pool as late as possible, ideally when the water drops out to about 10C (50 F). It is recommended to have a complete test of your water done-in-store. Adjust alkalinity between 100 and 120 ppm and pH between 8.2 and 8.4 in order to maintain neutral water.

It is important to check that the water level is constant in the pool in order to detect any leakage. Any repairs must be done prior to winterizing, because with freezing temperatures, a layer of ice will form and exert pressure on the pool walls, which could cause serious damage. Do not turn off the filtering system prior to winterizing the pool in order to protect equipment against freezing and to maintain clear water.

1- PROCEDURES (FOR POOLS WIT THREE-WAY VALVE)

Add half a container of TREVI STOP and wait 12 hours

Vaccum and clean liner if necessary usingTRÉVI VINYLE NET

Place handle on BACKWASH position and run the pump for 4 minutes

During BACKWASH, add 2 litres of TREVI FILTRE in the skimmer and close the bottom drain

Place filter handle on DRAIN or WASTE

Lower water level to 20'' below the bottom of the skimmer

Remove water return and skimmer lines from the pump

Place bottom drain valve on "1/2 - 1/2"

Insert the roll completely inside the skimmer

Insert a styrofoam chunk inside the skimmer

Remove gauge, bottle, baskets and skimmer door

Drain filter and pump

Remove screws holding the base of the pump

Place filter handle on WINTERIZE or CLOSE

Flush any chemicals or water from the chlorinator to avoid damage. Remove drain plugs. Rinse.

2- SPECIAL EQUIPMENT

Heat pump or propoane heater

Turn the heat pump control knob to OFF and deactivate the corresponding breaker. Disconnect fitting and blow out or vacuum water lines. We also suggest taht you add non-toxic antifreeze in both exchanger pipes.

Gas or oil water heater

In addition to the above procedures, flush underground lines by closing the valve on the tank and letting the water heater run until the lines are empty.

REGENEX FILTER

Remove cartridge and rinse with clear water. Empty tank by removing drain plug and rinse inside. We suggest that you protect Reginex system from freezing by storing it indoors for the winter.

LUMI-O LIGHTS

Unplug electric plug. Remove bulb, apply petroleum jelly on the socket and put lights back in place.

3- POOL CLOSING KIT

Note : To find out which PERMA POLAIRE kit to use for your above-ground pool, refer to the directions on the packaging or ask your TRÉVI representative. <

4- INSTALLING THE WINTER COVER

TRÉVI recommends the use of a wterproof winter cover because it protects the vinyl liner against sunrays and protects the water from debris, dirt and leaves.

IMPORTANT!

Once the pool is closed, abundant rain in the fall could increase the water level agasin to 20'' below the bottom of the skimmer, otherwise a high water level willdamage the wall near the skimmer.

In addition, if you use a winter cover, make sure you remove any water that collects on it. Excess pressure on the winter cover could damage the pool and void the warranty.
