2. Important Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.

• Always ensure adult supervision for children in and around the pool.
• Never dive or jump into the pool. The water depth is not sufficient for diving.
• Set up the pool on a solid, perfectly level surface to prevent collapse and injury.
• Keep children away from the filter pump and electrical connections.
• Do NOT use extension cords with the filter pump. Plug the pump directly into a grounded GFCI-protected outlet.
• This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm (Proposition 65 Warning).

3. Setup Instructions

1. Site Preparation: Choose a firm, level area free of sharp objects, rocks, or debris. An uneven surface can cause the pool to collapse, leading to water spillage and potential injury.
2. Ground Cloth (Recommended): If available, spread a ground cloth over the selected area to provide an extra layer of protection for the pool liner.
3. Unfold and Position: Carefully unfold the pool liner and spread it out in the center of your prepared area. Ensure the drain valve is facing the desired drainage location.
4. Secure Drain Valve: Verify that the drain valve cap on the bottom of the pool is securely fastened to prevent water leakage.
5. Connect Filter Pump: Attach the filter pump hoses to the inlet and outlet valves on the pool liner. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
6. Inflate Top Ring: Use an air pump (not included) to inflate the top ring of the pool until it is firm but not over-inflated. Avoid using high-pressure air compressors.
7. Fill with Water: 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 liner by working from the center outwards. This is crucial for proper pool shape and stability.

4. Operating Instructions

• Filter Pump Operation: Once the pool is filled to the recommended level (indicated by the fill line on the liner), plug the RX330 filter pump directly into a grounded GFCI-protected electrical outlet. The pump will begin circulating the water, helping to keep it clean.
• Water Circulation: Allow the pump to run for several hours each day to ensure proper water circulation and filtration. Refer to the pump's specific instructions for recommended run times.
• Built-in Chlorinator: The pool includes a built-in chlorinator. Insert appropriate chlorine tablets (sold separately) into the chlorinator according to the chemical manufacturer's instructions. This helps sanitize the pool water.

5. Maintenance

• Water Chemistry: Regularly test your pool water using a pool test kit (not included) to monitor pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels. Adjust chemicals as needed to maintain a balanced and safe swimming environment. Consult a local pool retailer for detailed guidance on water treatment.
• Filter Cartridge: The RX330 filter pump uses a D filter cartridge. Clean the filter cartridge frequently by rinsing it with a garden hose. Replace the filter cartridge every 2-3 weeks, or more often depending on pool usage and water condition.
• Pool Cleaning: Use a pool skimmer (not included) to remove debris from the water surface. Periodically brush the pool liner to prevent algae buildup.

6. Troubleshooting

• Water Leakage: Check all hose connections for tightness. Inspect the pool liner for punctures. A repair patch is included for small holes.
• Lopsided Pool: If the pool appears lopsided, it indicates that the ground surface was not perfectly level during setup. This may require draining the pool, re-leveling the site, and refilling.
• Cloudy Water: Ensure the filter pump is running for adequate periods. Clean or replace the filter cartridge. Test and adjust water chemistry (chlorine, pH).
• Pump Not Working: Check if the pump is properly plugged into a GFCI-protected outlet. Ensure the GFCI has not tripped. Inspect hoses for blockages.

7. End-of-Season Storage

1. Draining the Pool: Locate the drain valve on the side of the pool. Attach a standard garden hose (not included) to the drain valve adapter. Direct the other end of the hose to a suitable drainage area away from the house or sensitive landscaping. Unscrew the drain valve cap to allow water to flow out.
2. Cleaning: Once the pool is empty, thoroughly clean the entire liner with mild soap and water. Rinse completely.
3. Drying: Allow the pool liner to dry completely in the sun to prevent mold and mildew growth during storage.
4. Deflating: Deflate the top ring using an air pump with a deflate feature, or by opening the air valve and gently pressing out the air.
5. Folding: Carefully fold the dry pool liner to minimize creases.
6. Storage Location: Store the pool and all accessories in a cool, dry place, protected from extreme temperatures and pests.
