2. Setup Instructions
Proper site preparation is crucial for the stability and longevity of your pool. Ensure the ground is level and free from debris.
2.1 Site Preparation
- Select a firm, level area in your yard. Uneven ground can cause the pool to collapse.
- Clear the area of any sharp objects, rocks, or debris that could puncture the pool liner.
- Consider placing a ground cloth or tarp (not included) under the pool for added protection.
2.2 Assembly Steps
- Lay out the pool liner on the prepared, level ground.
- Inflate the top ring of the pool. An air pump (not included) is recommended for quick inflation.
- Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, the pool walls will automatically rise and take shape.
- Smooth out any wrinkles on the bottom of the pool as it fills to ensure an even base.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will keep your pool clean and extend its lifespan.
4.1 Cleaning and Water Treatment
- Use a pool skimmer (not included) to remove leaves and debris from the water surface.
- A filter pump (sold separately) is highly recommended to keep the water clean and clear. Follow the filter pump's instructions for installation and operation.
- Regularly test and balance pool chemicals (not included) to maintain water quality and prevent algae growth.
4.2 Drainage and Storage
- The built-in drain plug attaches to a standard garden hose for convenient water drainage.
- Once drained, clean and dry the pool thoroughly before folding and storing it in a cool, dry place during the off-season.
4.3 Pool Construction
The pool features a 3-ply side wall liner, providing enhanced durability and resistance against punctures.

4.4 Hydro Aeration Technology (Optional)
For enhanced water quality, Intex offers Hydro Aeration Technology, typically integrated with compatible filter pumps (sold separately). This technology improves filtration, clarity, and freshness by injecting air into the water.

5. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Pool losing air: Check the top ring for any punctures or leaks. Use a patch kit (not included) for minor repairs. Ensure the inflation valve is securely closed.
- Water not draining properly: Ensure the drain plug is fully open and the garden hose is not kinked or blocked.
- Water becoming cloudy/green: This indicates poor water chemistry or insufficient filtration. Adjust chemical levels and ensure your filter pump (if used) is running correctly and the filter cartridge is clean.
