Remove drain cap so water drains out of the sand.
Remove Valve Head Assembly, store indoors.
Detach Motor/Filter Basket, store indoors.
Cover hole left by Valve Head Assembly loosely.
(I use a paver.)

Mainly, you don't want any standing water in
any of the parts.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.
