4. Place the other end of the garden hose in an area where the water can be safely drained away from the house and other nearby structures.
5. When the water stops draining, start lifting the pool from the side opposite to the drain valve to drain any remaining water and empty the pool completely.
6. After drainage, lock the drain valve and close the drain cap.
NOTE: NEVER step on the drain valve
7. Deflate the top ring completely and remove all connecting parts (if there are any).
8. Be sure that the pool and all parts are completely dry before storage. Air-dry the liner in the sun completely before folding (see drawing 1). Sprinkle some
talcum powder to prevent the vinyl from sticking together and to absorb any residual moisture.
9. Create a square shape. Starting at one side, fold one-sixth of liner into itself twice. Do the same on the opposite side (see drawings 2 & 3).
10. Once you have created two opposing folded sides, simply fold one over the other like closing a book (see drawings 4 & 5).
11. Fold the two long ends to the middle (see drawing 6).
12. Fold one over the other like closing a book, and finally compact the liner (see drawing 7).
13. Store the liner and accessories in a dry, temperature-controlled storage location above 32°F (0°C) and below 104°F (40°C).
14. The original packing can be used for storage.

Repair
1. Use a mix of liquid dish soap and water in a spray bottle, and spray over suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles that will pinpoint the location of the leak.
2. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime.
3. Cut a piece of repair patch (included) with a margin of 0.8" (2cm) larger than the damaged area, rounding the corners with scissors.
4. Place the patch over the center of the leak, press down firmly, and squeeze out all air bubbles to the edges. You may want to put a weight on top to keep it in place.
5. Do not inflate for one hour after patching.
NOTE: if the patch does not hold, you can use the patch with silicone- or polyurethane-based glue designed for repairing camping mats, tents or shoes. Consult your
local household/camping supply stores, and follow the instructions of the glue you've chosen.
