    Tank ring for pool

    summer waves elite winterization??

    Just bought a Summer Waves elite 20 ft by 48 in from Sam's club. We are wondering what we need to do in the winter? Do we drain the water and take it down? Or can we leave it set up with some water in it over the winter. We live in North Dakota and Winters can get down to -40 below zero ??

In theory...
