Depending on where you live, you may want to totally drain an above the ground pool, especially if your area is prone to freezing temperatures.

When such pool is not being used, it is always a good idea to cover it to keep dirt and leaves out.

Yes, with continued use of chemicals. Otherwise, you're going to have a nasty mess to clean out come spring.
