I live in north east Ohio and have left my intex pool up for 2 winters now. I drain the water below the inlet and outlet holes, bring the pump, filter and salt water generator into the basement, and cover the pool with a winter cover. It has worked great. My pool is 5 years old now.The first 3 years, I took it down and stored it, but saw many in my area leaving their intex pools up, so that is what I do now.The first winter, we got down to -20 degrees a couple of times.No problems at all.
