Setup and Assembly

Proper site selection and assembly are crucial for the longevity and safety of your pool.

1. Site Preparation

• Choose a firm, level surface free of sharp objects, debris, or loose soil.
• Ensure the area is large enough to accommodate the pool dimensions (488 x 244 cm) plus additional space for access and maintenance.
• Avoid placing the pool under overhead power lines or near trees that may drop leaves or debris.
• Consider drainage for overflow water.

Operating Instructions

Filling the Pool

1. Before filling, ensure all drain plugs are securely closed.
2. Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, gently smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom of the liner, working from the center outwards.
3. Fill the pool to the recommended fill line, typically indicated on the liner or in the separate pump manual. The pool has a capacity of approximately 10,874 liters.

Filter Pump Operation

The included filter pump is essential for maintaining water clarity. Refer to the separate filter pump manual for detailed setup and operation instructions.

• Connect the filter pump hoses to the pool's inlet and outlet fittings.
• Ensure the pump is placed on a stable, level surface away from the pool.
• Plug the pump into a grounded electrical outlet with a Residual Current Device (RCD).
• Operate the pump for several hours daily to circulate and filter the water.

• Maintain free chlorine levels between 1-3 ppm.
• Add appropriate pool chemicals as needed, following product instructions.

Cleaning

• Skim debris from the water surface daily using a pool skimmer.
• Vacuum the pool bottom as needed to remove settled dirt and debris.

• Clean or replace the filter cartridge regularly (e.g., every 2 weeks or more frequently depending on usage).

Winterization / Storage
