acvang the ltraon pump and circulang the water to prevent freezing inside equipment or plumbing. Freeze
protecon does not guarantee that equipment will not be damaged by extended periods of freezing temperatures
or power outages. In these condions, the pool should be shut down completely (for example, drained of water
and closed for the winter) unl warmer weather exists.
The pump must be protected and properly winterized when freezing temperatures are expected. Allowing
the pump to freeze will cause severe damage and will void the warranty. To avoid condensaon damaging the
appliance, do not cover it hermecally.
• If the pump is located beneath the water level, shut o the isolaon valves on the admission and discharge.
• Drain the pump (using the 2 drainage screws) and the hydraulic circuit by following the pool manufacturer’s instrucons.
• Remove the 2 drainage screws and put them aside to be reed when the pool is restarted.
