The water level should not be lowered throughout the winter. Keeping the water level high helps provide strength and support to the pool frame and winter cover, and it also helps prevent the entire body of water from freezing.
It is essential to install a Threaded Winterizing Plug for Standard Return and a Skimmer Winterizing Plate, both from the inside of the pool. These products allow you to properly winterize the skimmer and return while keeping the water level high throughout the winter. You can view both products through the links below:
