Updated: Sep 2
The cold season is coming, and just as you bundle up to protect against the chill, your ProVision system deserves that extra care too! Ensuring it’s properly winterized can prevent any unpleasant surprises come next season. Here's your guide to make sure everything's good to go.
Key Takeaways:
Drain ALL water to avoid any frost damage.
Discard the mineral cartridge and replace next season.
Save your V-Pack only after allowing it to fully dry before storing it in an airtight container.
Keep your ProVision system away from the harsh winter elements.
Step-By-Step Winterizing:
Once you're done winterizing your pool, start by disconnecting the hoses from the Inlet and Outlet ports.
Open up those lids on the chlorine and sanitizer compartments. Take out the mineral cartridge, wave it goodbye, and remember to get a new one for next year!
Now’s the time to remove the V-Pack. Got some leftover chlorine in the blue tube? Allow it to completely dry and store in a sealed container.
Don’t forget the drain cap at the bottom! Tilt your ProVision to make sure every last drop’s gone.
Grab a cloth, give your ProVision a good wipe down to ensure there's no lingering moisture.
