4. Setup Instructions
The Intex Easy Set Pool is designed for quick setup, typically within 15 minutes before filling with water. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare the Site: Select a firm, level surface free of sharp objects, debris, and excessive slopes. It is recommended to place the included ground cloth on the chosen area to protect the pool bottom.
- Unfold the Pool Liner: Carefully spread out the pool liner on the prepared ground cloth. Ensure the drain plug is positioned away from any structures or areas where water drainage could cause damage.
- Inflate the Top Ring: Locate the air valve on the top inflatable ring. Use an air pump (not included, or an optional pump shown in some illustrations) to inflate the ring until it is firm but not over-inflated.
- Begin Filling with Water: Start filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, the inflatable top ring will float, and the pool walls will rise and take shape. Smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom of the pool as it fills.
- Connect Filter Pump: Once the pool has approximately 1-2 inches of water, connect the Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump according to its separate instructions. Ensure all hoses are securely fastened and clamps are tightened.
- Install Ladder: Assemble and place the removable ladder outside the pool, ensuring it is stable and secure.
- Continue Filling: Fill the pool to the recommended water level, typically up to the bottom of the inflatable ring. Do not overfill.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump
The included Krystal Clear Cartridge Filter Pump (1000 GPH) is essential for maintaining water clarity and hygiene. It features Hydro Aeration Technology for improved circulation and filtration.

- Power Supply: Ensure the pump is connected to a grounded 110-120V electrical outlet.
- Filtration Cycles: The pump operates with automatic daily filtration cycles, typically ranging from 2 to 10 hours. Consult the pump's specific manual for programming details.
- Hydro Aeration Technology: This technology injects air into the water, accelerating circulation, improving filtration by clumping fine particles, and enhancing water clarity and freshness.
5.2 Water Chemistry
Regularly test your pool water for pH and chlorine levels. Maintain appropriate chemical balance according to local guidelines and pool chemical product instructions. Proper water chemistry is crucial for swimmer safety and pool longevity.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Filter Cartridge Cleaning and Replacement
- Daily Inspection: Check the filter cartridge daily for debris.
- Weekly Cleaning: Turn off the pump, disconnect power, and remove the filter cartridge. Rinse it thoroughly with a garden hose to remove accumulated debris.
- Replacement: Replace the filter cartridge every two weeks, or more frequently depending on pool usage and water condition. Use Intex Type A or C cartridges as specified by your pump model.
6.2 Pool Cleaning
- Skimming: Use a pool skimmer net to remove leaves and other floating debris from the water surface daily.
- Vacuuming: Periodically vacuum the pool bottom to remove settled dirt and debris.
- Wall Cleaning: Gently wipe down the pool walls as needed to prevent algae buildup.
6.3 Pool Cover
Use the included pool cover when the pool is not in use to prevent debris from entering the water and to reduce water evaporation. Ensure the rope tie keeps the cover secure.

6.4 Winterization and Storage
Before storing the pool for the off-season, completely drain the water, clean the pool liner, and allow it to dry thoroughly. Deflate the top ring and fold the liner carefully. Store all components in a dry, protected area away from extreme temperatures and pests.
