Should I Drain My Above Ground Pool In The Winter?
Fully draining an above-ground pool for winter can make sense for soft-sided or temporary pools and for major repairs, but it is usually riskier for framed pools in freezing climates. Keeping water inside and winterizing properly is often the safer way to protect the liner, walls, and frame. Weigh your pool type, local climate, manufacturer guidance, and spring refill plans before deciding.
