How do I drain and put away our Intex Easyset AGP? I found a couple old threads, but am still not sure of what to do.
It looks like it is illegal to drain the pool into the street/storm drain. And our yard is on a slant, so draining into our yard would just flood our Nextdoor neighbor. I saw some things online about draining into our sewer line directly, but I’m not sure exactly what to do or where that line is or what I need to do before opening it :-O. I’m attaching a picture of what I think it might be. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
If we can figure out the sewer drain, I’m guessing these would be the steps...please correct me if they are wrong:
1. Take the cover off and let the chlorine go to zero. Will this make it turn green?
2. Waste the water to the yard down to the intake holes through the pump, also using backwash a little to clean the sand up. Do this a little at a time as to not flood the neighbors.
3. Hook the hose chain to the bottom pool drain and run it to the sewer pipe at front of house, and put down in pipe to drain water down it.
4. Drain most of the water, up to 2 days time possibly.
5. Use shop vac and old towels to get the rest of the water from the bottom and creases.
6. Sprinkle with baby powder all on the inside.
7. Start folding and wiping any wet areas and air drying as I go to be sure no moisture from underneath side.
8. Store in a large Christmas tree bag as we no longer have the box
9. Clean and dry outside of pump and store in the garage. Do I take all the sand out of the pump and use new sand next year?
Thanks for any help and tips!
