I live in Southeast Texas so our winters aren't very harsh. I'm planning on keeping the pool up year-round and I'll use the included cover as well. I don't really know at this point how much maintenance is supposed to continue during the off season, but I will be reading and educating myself. The cost of water and cleaning the metals out of my water is just too high to start from scratch again next year though.

Does the low salinity water used in these pools freeze in the northern states during winter?
