Proper draining and storage of 16' AG Intex Pool

[bam_man13]

I have read where some owners have left their Intex Metal Frame AG pools up over the winter but where I live (Central PA) that doesn't seem like a good idea.
Gets pretty cold and snowy/icy over winter months...

I do not have a sump to speed things along at this time so just using the drain plug with garden hose supplied by intex kit. (very slow going)

Anyone that can share their success at storing one of these guys so that it doesn't get ruined?

Thanks a bunch.
