How to Use Pool Antifreeze
- Always follow the directions from your pool manufacturer on winterizing your pool. Directions may vary depending on pool construction. The following instructions are provided for general use.
- Completely drain all lines and equipment. Be sure to drain both plugs on pump (one on strainer and one on the volute cavity.)
- Drop pool level below inlets. Blow all water from pipes using an air compressor or the discharge side of a vacuum. After draining lines, plug inlet openings in pool. Plugs are available at your pool store. Fill lines with Champion pool antifreeze. Use same process for skimmer lines.
- Main drain lines can only be winterized in this manner if they can be plugged after they are filled with air. If they cannot be plugged, close upper end of the line, install air fitting and winterize by keeping line filled with air.
- In spring, remove Champion pool antifreeze with wet vac from all lines and equipment.
