4. Setup Instructions
Choose a Location:
- Select a solid, level surface free of sharp objects, debris, or loose soil.
- Ensure the area is clear of overhead power lines, trees, and other obstructions.
- The chosen location should have good drainage and be easily accessible for filling and maintenance.
Prepare the Ground:
- Remove all grass, roots, stones, and other debris.
- Level the ground completely. An uneven surface can cause the pool to collapse.
- Consider placing a ground cloth (not included) under the pool for added protection.
Unfold the Pool Liner:
- Carefully unfold the pool liner in the chosen area, ensuring the drain valve is positioned correctly.
- Smooth out any wrinkles on the bottom of the liner.
Assemble the Steel Frame:
- Follow the diagrams provided in your specific packaging for frame assembly.
- Connect the horizontal beams to the vertical legs using the provided connectors. Ensure all pins and clips are securely locked into place.
- The frame should form a perfect circle around the liner.

- Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, smooth out any remaining wrinkles on the bottom and sides of the liner.
- Fill the pool to the recommended water level, typically indicated by a fill line on the liner or approximately 90% capacity.
5. Operating Instructions
Water Level:
- Always maintain the water level between the minimum and maximum fill lines.
- Evaporation and splash-out will reduce the water level, requiring periodic refilling.
Supervision:
- Never leave children unattended in or around the pool. Adult supervision is mandatory at all times.
Entry and Exit:
- Use a pool ladder (if applicable) for safe entry and exit. Do not jump over the pool walls.
6. Maintenance
Water Treatment:
- Regularly test and adjust water chemistry (pH, chlorine, alkalinity) to ensure safe and clean water.
- Consult a pool chemical supplier for appropriate products and dosages.
Cleaning:
- Skim debris from the water surface daily.
- Brush the pool walls and vacuum the bottom as needed to remove algae and dirt.
- If a filter pump is used, clean or replace the filter cartridge regularly according to the pump's instructions.
Liner and Frame Inspection:
- Periodically inspect the pool liner for tears or punctures. Use the included repair patch for minor damage.
- Check the steel frame for rust or damage. Ensure all connections remain secure.
Winterization (for seasonal use):
- Completely drain the pool water.
- Clean and dry the liner and frame components thoroughly.
- Disassemble the frame and store all parts in a dry, protected area, away from extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water is cloudy/green | Improper water chemistry, insufficient filtration, algae growth. | Test water and adjust chemicals (chlorine, pH). Run filter pump longer. Shock treat the water. |
| Water level dropping | Evaporation, splash-out, leak in liner. | Refill water. Check liner for punctures and use repair patch if necessary. |
| Pool frame unstable | Uneven ground, loose connections. | Drain pool and re-level the ground. Ensure all frame connections are secure. |
