How to winterize your above-ground pool

Above ground pool.

Colder weather can destroy an above-ground pool if you don't prepare it properly. Freezing temperatures cause water to expand, potentially cracking pipes, damaging filters, and tearing pool liners.

Ice formation can also warp the pool walls and contaminate the water with algae that blooms when temperatures warm up again. Proper winterization protects your investment and saves money on expensive repairs.
