4. Setup Instructions

Proper site preparation and assembly are crucial for the stability and longevity of your pool.

4.1 Site Preparation

• Choose a flat, level, and compact area in your garden. Uneven ground can cause the pool to collapse.
• We recommend using a smooth concrete slab as a suitable base. Consult a local builder for advice on local soil conditions.
• Clear the area of any sharp objects, debris, or roots that could damage the pool liner.

4.2 Pool Assembly

1. Unpack all components and lay them out. Familiarize yourself with the parts using the included diagrams.
2. Assemble the metal frame according to the detailed instructions provided in the separate installation guide. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly.
3. Carefully spread out the pool liner in the prepared area.
4. Attach the liner to the frame structure, ensuring it is properly aligned and secured.
5. Fill the pool with water, ensuring the liner settles evenly as it fills.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Filter Pump Operation

• Connect the filter pump according to its specific installation guide.
• Ensure the filter pump is placed at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) away from the pool.
• Operate the filter pump daily to circulate and filter the pool water. The duration of operation depends on pool size and usage.
• Always turn off and unplug the filter pump before any maintenance or when people are in the pool.

5.2 Water Level

Maintain the water level between the upper and lower fill lines indicated on the pool liner. Overfilling or underfilling can affect pump performance and pool stability.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your pool water clean and extend the life of your pool.

6.1 Water Treatment

• Use appropriate pool chemicals (e.g., chlorine, pH adjusters) to maintain proper water balance and sanitation. Follow chemical manufacturer's instructions carefully.
• Test water chemistry regularly using a pool test kit.

6.2 Filter Cartridge

• Clean the filter cartridge frequently (daily or every other day, depending on usage).
• Replace the filter cartridge every two weeks or sooner if it remains dirty after cleaning.

6.3 Pool Cleaning

• Skim debris from the water surface daily.
• Vacuum the pool floor as needed to remove settled dirt.
• Wipe down the pool walls with a soft brush or cloth to prevent algae buildup.

6.4 Winterization

For seasonal use, properly drain, clean, and store the pool and its components in a dry, protected area during the off-season.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your pool. For more complex problems, refer to the detailed troubleshooting guide in your filter pump manual or contact customer support.

7.1 Cloudy Water
