4. Setup Instructions

4.1 Site Preparation

• Select a firm, level surface free of rocks, sharp objects, or debris. The area should be larger than the pool's diameter (15 feet).
• Ensure the chosen location is near a suitable electrical outlet for the filter pump, and away from overhead power lines or structures.
• Clear any grass or vegetation from the area to prevent damage to the pool liner. A ground cloth (not included) is recommended for added protection.

4.2 Pool Assembly

• Unfold the pool liner on the prepared level surface. Spread it out completely, ensuring the drain plug is positioned away from high traffic areas.
• Inflate the top ring of the pool using an air pump (not included). Inflate until firm but not over-inflated.
• Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, the pool walls will begin to stand upright. Smooth out any wrinkles on the bottom of the pool as it fills.
• Stop filling when the water reaches the fill line indicated on the pool liner. The pool has a water capacity of approximately 2,640 gallons.

4.3 Filter Pump Connection

• Locate the two connection ports on the side of the pool liner.
• Connect the hoses from the RX600 filter pump to these ports using the provided clamps. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
• Insert the Type D filter cartridge into the filter pump housing.
• Position the filter pump on a stable, level surface near the pool, ensuring it is at least 10 feet away from the pool edge and protected from direct water spray.
