2. Setup and Installation
Careful planning and preparation are crucial for the longevity and stability of your Steinbach Nuovo pool. Ensure the installation site is level and free of sharp objects. The pool can be installed in various ways: fully embedded in the ground, partially embedded, or freestanding.
2.1 Site Preparation
- Choose a flat, stable area in your garden, away from trees and overhead power lines.
- Clear the area of any debris, rocks, or roots.
- Ensure the ground is perfectly level to prevent uneven pressure on the pool structure.
2.2 Component Overview
Familiarize yourself with the main components of your pool kit:
- Robust Coated Steel Casing: Forms the main structure of the pool.
- Winter-Resistant Inner Film (approx. 0.4 mm): The blue liner that holds the water.
- Handrail and Plastic Rails: Components for the top edge and base of the pool.
- Built-in Skimmer: For surface water collection and debris removal.
- Inlet Nozzle: For returning filtered water to the pool.
- Ladder: For safe entry and exit.
2.3 Assembly Steps
- Unpack all components and verify against the packing list.
- Assemble the bottom rails on the prepared, level ground, forming the circular base.
- Erect the steel wall, carefully connecting the ends to form a complete circle.
- Install the inner film, ensuring it is centered and smooth, without wrinkles.
- Install the built-in skimmer and inlet nozzle according to the detailed instructions provided in the separate installation guide for these components. These are essential for water circulation.
- Attach the top handrail.

3. Operating Your Pool
Once assembled and filled, your Steinbach Nuovo pool is ready for use. The integrated skimmer and inlet nozzle system are designed to facilitate optimal water recirculation, which is crucial for maintaining water quality.
3.1 Water Filling
Fill the pool to the recommended water height of 110 cm. This ensures the skimmer operates effectively and the pool's capacity is utilized correctly.
3.2 Circulation System
While this kit does not include a filtration system, the built-in skimmer and inlet nozzle are prepared for connection to an external filtration pump (sold separately). A proper filtration system is vital for circulating and cleaning the pool water, preventing stagnation and algae growth.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your pool clean, safe, and enjoyable throughout the swimming season and beyond. Steinbach offers a wide range of pool accessories, filtration systems, and water treatment products to assist with this.
4.1 Water Quality
- Filtration: Operate your external filtration system daily to remove suspended particles and debris.
- Chemical Balance: Regularly test and adjust pH levels, chlorine, and other chemical parameters to ensure safe and clear water.
- Cleaning: Skim the surface daily to remove leaves and insects. Vacuum the pool floor as needed to remove settled debris.
4.2 Pool Structure Care
- Inspect the steel wall and inner liner periodically for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
- Clean the pool's exterior with mild soap and water.
- For winterization, follow specific guidelines for your climate to protect the pool from freezing temperatures, even though the liner is winter-resistant.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your pool.
5.1 Water Leaks
- Check Liner: Inspect the inner liner for punctures or tears. Small holes can often be repaired with a vinyl patch kit.
- Connections: Ensure all connections for the skimmer and inlet nozzle are tight and properly sealed.
5.2 Structural Concerns
- Dents in Steel Wall: Minor dents may occur during shipping or handling. While often cosmetic, significant damage could affect structural integrity. Ensure the ground is perfectly level before filling to prevent buckling.
- Uneven Pool: If the pool appears uneven after filling, it indicates improper ground leveling. This can put undue stress on the structure and should be addressed by draining the pool and re-leveling the site.
5.3 Cloudy Water
- Filtration: Ensure your external filter is running for sufficient hours daily and that the filter media is clean.
- Chemical Imbalance: Test water chemistry. Imbalances in pH, alkalinity, or sanitizer levels can lead to cloudy water.
- Algae: If water has a greenish tint, it may indicate algae. Shock treat the pool and brush surfaces thoroughly.
