Important Safety Information
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm (Proposition 65 Warning). Adult supervision is required at all times when children are in or near the pool. Never leave children unattended. Ensure the pool is installed on level ground to prevent collapse and injury.
2. Setup Instructions
Proper site preparation and assembly are crucial for the stability and longevity of your pool. The pool is designed for quick setup, typically ready for water in approximately 10 minutes.
2.1 Site Preparation
- Select a firm, level surface for installation. Uneven ground can cause the pool to collapse, leading to water spillage and potential injury.
- Clear the area of any sharp objects, debris, or rough surfaces. A ground cloth (not included) is recommended for added protection.
2.2 Pool Assembly
- Lay Out Pool: Spread the pool liner on the prepared level ground. Ensure the drain plug is positioned away from any structures or areas where water drainage could cause damage.
- Inflate Top Ring: Locate the air 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.
- Fill with Water: Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, the pool walls will automatically rise with the top ring. Smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom of the pool as it fills.
- Connect Filter Pump: Once the pool is partially filled and stable, connect the included 530 GPH cartridge filter pump according to its separate instruction manual. Ensure all hoses are securely attached to the inlet and outlet fittings on the pool wall.

|---|---|---|
| Pool is not level / Water uneven | Uneven ground beneath the pool. | Drain the pool, level the ground thoroughly, and refill. This is critical for pool integrity. |
