Setup and Assembly

  1. Choose a Location: Select a flat, level, and soft surface for the pool. Ensure there are no sharp objects, rocks, or debris that could puncture the vinyl. Avoid concrete, asphalt, or other hard surfaces.
  2. Unfold the Pool: Carefully unfold the pool and lay it flat in your chosen location.
  3. Inflate the Air Chambers: The pool has two air chambers. Locate the double valves on each chamber. Use an air pump (not included) to inflate each chamber until it is firm to the touch but not overinflated. Overinflation can cause damage. Ensure both valves are securely closed after inflation.
  4. Connect the Sprayer: Locate the spray nozzle connection point, typically on the whale's tail or fin. Attach a standard garden hose to this connection point. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks.

Operation

  1. Fill with Water: Begin filling the pool with water. The recommended water level is 18 cm (7 inches) from the wall height, which corresponds to approximately 53 gallons (200 L). Do not overfill.
  2. Activate Sprayer: Once the pool is filled, turn on the water supply to the garden hose connected to the sprayer. Water will begin to spray from the whale's tail/fin.
  3. Supervision: Always ensure constant adult supervision when children are in or near the pool. Never leave children unattended.
  4. Drain Plug: The practical drain plug is located at the bottom of the pool for easy water removal.

Maintenance

  • Emptying the Pool: When not in use, or for cleaning, always empty the pool completely. Locate the drain plug at the bottom of the pool, open it, and allow the water to drain.
  • Cleaning: Clean the pool regularly with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before folding and storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Ensure the pool is completely dry before deflating and folding. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect from rodents and insects.
  • Repairing Punctures: If a small puncture occurs, use the included repair patches. Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly. Apply the patch firmly over the hole, ensuring no air bubbles. Allow sufficient time for the patch to bond before re-inflating.
