Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient setup, operation, and maintenance of your Intex 10-Feet x 30-Inch Easy Set Pool. Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use. Retain this manual for future reference.
Important Safety Information

- Follow all local regulations regarding pool safety and fencing.
Setup Instructions
Proper site preparation and assembly are crucial for the longevity and safety of your Easy Set Pool. Follow these steps carefully.
1. Site Preparation
Select a firm, level area in your backyard. Remove any sharp objects, debris, or uneven surfaces. The area should be slightly larger than the pool's diameter (10 feet).

It is recommended to place a ground cloth or tarp (not included) under the pool for added protection against punctures and to provide a slightly softer base. Some users also place foam mats or old yoga mats for extra cushioning.
2. Unpacking and Spreading the Pool Liner
Carefully unpack the pool from its box. Allow the pool liner to warm up in the sun for easier unfolding and to reduce wrinkles. Spread the pool liner evenly on the prepared, level ground.

3. Inflating the Top Ring
Locate the inflation valve on the top ring of the pool. Use an air pump (electric pump recommended for efficiency) to inflate the top ring until it is firm but not over-inflated. Ensure the valve is securely closed after inflation.

4. Filling the Pool with Water
Begin filling the pool with water using a garden hose. As the water level rises, the pool walls will naturally rise and take shape. Smooth out any wrinkles on the bottom of the pool as it fills. Stop filling when the water reaches the indicated fill line, typically just below the inflated top ring.

5. Filter Pump Connection
Connect the included filter pump to the designated inlet and outlet fittings on the pool liner. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. Refer to the separate filter pump manual for detailed assembly and operation instructions for the pump.

Operating Your Pool
Once set up, your Intex Easy Set Pool is ready for use. Follow these guidelines for optimal enjoyment.
Water Level
Maintain the water level between the upper and lower fill lines. Overfilling can strain the pool structure, while underfilling can affect pump performance.
Filter Pump Operation
Operate the filter pump daily to ensure proper water circulation and filtration. The recommended run time is typically 2-4 hours per day, depending on usage and water clarity. Consult the pump manual for specific timer settings.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your pool water clean and safe.
Water Chemistry
Test your pool water regularly using a pool test kit. Adjust pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels (e.g., chlorine) as needed to maintain proper balance. Follow the chemical manufacturer's instructions for dosage.
Cleaning the Pool
- Skimming: Use a pool skimmer net to remove leaves, insects, and other debris from the water surface daily.
- Vacuuming: Periodically vacuum the bottom of the pool to remove settled debris. A garden hose with suction can be used for this purpose.
- Liner Cleaning: Gently wipe down the pool liner with a soft brush or cloth to prevent algae buildup.
Filter Cartridge Care
The filter cartridge should be rinsed with a garden hose every few days and replaced every 2-4 weeks, or as needed, depending on pool usage and water conditions. A dirty filter cartridge reduces pump efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudy Water | Poor filtration, chemical imbalance, high debris load. | Run pump longer, clean/replace filter, adjust water chemistry, shock treat pool. |
| Algae Growth | Low sanitizer levels, poor circulation. | Shock treat with algaecide, brush pool walls, ensure proper filtration. |
| Leaking Pool | Puncture in liner, loose hose connections. | Locate and patch hole with repair kit, tighten all hose clamps. |
| Pump Not Working | Power issue, clogged filter, air in system. | Check power supply, clean filter, bleed air from pump. |
